The tower defense genre might feel a bit crowded these days, often used as a catchy hook in countless ads. But when Sandsoft Games, the creators of the acclaimed Pocket Necromancer, step in with their new game, Fortress Frontline, now available on Android via Google Play, it's worth taking a second look.
Fortress Frontline offers a classic yet engaging experience. It's a wave-based roguelite tower defense where you're tasked with holding one side of the screen against endless waves of enemies. Whether they're small fry or hulking brutes, you'll navigate through multiple runs, tweaking your loadout and unlocking permanent upgrades to survive longer and boost your score.
While I might usually find it hard to get excited about yet another tower defense game, Sandsoft Games has a reputation we admire here at PG Towers. Plus, the game's charming, cartoonish art style adds a delightful touch, making Fortress Frontline an enjoyable experience.
But what else does Fortress Frontline bring to the table? Heroes and rare cards enhance your defenses, and a global leaderboard lets you track your progress as you aim for the top—or perhaps somewhere in the middle, as most of us might settle for. The game adopts a Vampire Survivors-inspired approach to roguelites, where your attacks become more spectacular as you power up.
