The tower defense genre may have seen its fair share of saturation, often used as a promotional tool in ads, but Sandsoft Games, the creators of the acclaimed Pocket Necromancer, have just released their unique spin on the genre with Fortress Frontline, now available on Android via Google Play.
Fortress Frontline simplifies the concept to its core: you control one side of the screen, tasked with fending off waves of enemies ranging from small and weak to large and formidable. As you progress through multiple runs, you'll tweak your loadout and unlock permanent upgrades, all in the pursuit of achieving the longest survival time possible.
While I might typically find it challenging to get excited about another tower defense game, Sandsoft Games has a solid reputation here at PG Towers. With its appealing, cartoony art style, Fortress Frontline offers a lot to enjoy. But what about the gameplay mechanics? Heroes and rare cards enhance your defensive strategies, and a global leaderboard allows you to track your progress as you aim to climb to the top—or perhaps settle comfortably in the middle.
Fortress Frontline adopts a Vampire Survivors-style approach to roguelites, where the more powerful you become, the more spectacular your attacks.
