The tower defense genre might seem a bit oversaturated, often used in promotional ads, but Sandsoft Games, the creators behind the acclaimed Pocket Necromancer, have just released Fortress Frontline on Android. This game brings a fresh perspective to the wave-based roguelite tower defense scene, challenging players to fend off relentless hordes of enemies.
Fortress Frontline simplifies the concept beautifully: it's just you against waves of foes, from the weak to the formidable. As you progress through various runs, you'll tweak your loadout and unlock permanent upgrades, aiming to survive longer and achieve higher scores.
While it might be challenging to muster enthusiasm for yet another tower defense game, Sandsoft Games has a strong reputation at PG Towers. Plus, the game's appealing, cartoony art style adds a delightful touch to the experience, making Fortress Frontline a joy to play.
But what about the mechanics? Heroes and rare cards enhance your defenses, and a global leaderboard lets you track your progress, whether you're climbing to the top or comfortably nestled in the middle. Fortress Frontline embraces the Vampire Survivors approach to roguelites, where your attacks become increasingly spectacular as you grow stronger.
