The tower defense genre might be feeling a bit crowded these days, often used as a go-to for promotional ads. Yet, Sandsoft Games, the creators behind the acclaimed Pocket Necromancer, have decided to dive in with their unique spin, and now their latest game, Fortress Frontline, is available on Google Play for Android users!
Fortress Frontline keeps things refreshingly simple. It's just you on one side of the screen, defending against relentless waves of enemies, from the puny to the mighty. As you navigate through successive runs, you'll tweak your loadout and unlock permanent upgrades, all in pursuit of extending your survival time.
While I might typically struggle to muster enthusiasm for another tower defense game, Sandsoft Games holds a special place here at PG Towers. Coupled with Fortress Frontline's charmingly cartoony art style, there's a lot to love about this game.
Clashing castles But what about the gameplay mechanics? Heroes and rare cards will bolster your defenses, and a global leaderboard allows you to track your climb to the top—or perhaps somewhere in the middle, as many of us might find. Fortress Frontline adopts a Vampire Survivors-like approach to roguelites, where the more powerful you become, the more spectacular your attacks get.
