The tower defense genre might seem a bit oversaturated, often used in promotional tactics across numerous ads. However, Sandsoft Games, the creators of the acclaimed Pocket Necromancer, have launched a fresh contender with **Fortress Frontline**, now available on Google Play for Android users.
**Fortress Frontline** brings a wave-based roguelite twist to the classic tower defense formula. It's a straightforward yet engaging experience where you're tasked with defending one side of the screen against endless waves of enemies. Whether they're small and weak or large and formidable, your goal is to survive longer with each run, tweaking your loadout and unlocking permanent upgrades along the way.
While I might typically struggle to muster excitement for yet another tower defense game, Sandsoft Games' reputation precedes them, and **Fortress Frontline** offers more than meets the eye. Its charmingly cartoony art style adds a layer of enjoyment that's hard to resist.
But what about the mechanics? **Fortress Frontline** enhances your defense with heroes and rare cards, while a global leaderboard lets you track your progress as you aim to climb to the top—or perhaps settle comfortably in the middle. The game takes inspiration from the likes of Vampire Survivors, where your growing strength results in increasingly flashy attacks.
