The tower defense genre might seem a bit crowded, especially with its frequent use in mobile game ads. However, Sandsoft Games, the creators behind the well-received Pocket Necromancer, have just released their latest addition to the genre, Fortress Frontline, now available on Android via Google Play.
In Fortress Frontline, you're tasked with defending one side of the screen against relentless waves of enemies. From small and weak foes to large and formidable tanks, the challenge is constant. As you progress through multiple runs, you can tweak your loadout and unlock permanent upgrades, all in pursuit of achieving the longest survival time possible.
While I might typically struggle to muster enthusiasm for yet another tower defense game, Sandsoft Games have earned a solid reputation here at PG Towers. Plus, with its charmingly cartoony art style, Fortress Frontline offers plenty to enjoy.
**Clashing castles** But what about the gameplay mechanics? Fortress Frontline introduces heroes and rare cards that enhance your defense strategy. Additionally, a global leaderboard allows you to track your progress and compete with players worldwide, striving to reach the top—or at least somewhere in the middle, as many of us might. The game takes inspiration from the roguelite genre, much like Vampire Survivors, where your increasing strength leads to more spectacular attacks.
