Daniel (@dungeondive) runs through the full roster of Forbidden Fortress characters ahead of a new group campaign, weighing up which hero to play.
The lineup gets a thorough examination: the Enforcer, a slow, brutal bouncer who beats money out of people and loses fingers when missions fail; the Kitsune, a fox-spirit trickster with elemental magic and a pouncing combat style; the Soldier, a stationary sharpshooter with an upgradeable rifle; the Geisha, a cunning support character with a hidden dagger and parasol; the Traveling Monk with his chi-powered fists of fury; the Assassin and her smoke-bomb teleportation; the Samurai Warrior (too similar to the Western wandering samurai for Daniel’s taste); the Trederra Veteran, a cross-setting soldier with a darkstone carbine that corrupts you each time you fire it; the Sumo with a staggering 20 health and the thousand-hand slap; and the Sorceress with her elemental magic system.
Daniel’s shortlist: Enforcer, Traveling Monk, Trederra Veteran, or Sumo. The video doubles as a character creation guide, showing how starting ability choices, personal items, and faction affiliations create meaningfully different builds from the same class. Flying Frog’s attention to thematic character design shines throughout.
Which of these characters would you pick for your party—and which would you avoid?
