The tower defense genre might feel a bit oversaturated, especially with its frequent use in promotional ads. However, Sandsoft Games, the creative minds behind the acclaimed Pocket Necromancer, have jumped into the fray with their latest release, Fortress Frontline, now available on Android via Google Play!
Fortress Frontline simplifies the concept to its core: it's just you, defending one side of the screen against relentless waves of enemies. Whether they're small fry or formidable tanks, your mission is to survive run after run, tweaking your loadout and unlocking permanent upgrades to last longer and achieve higher scores.
While I might typically struggle to muster enthusiasm for yet another tower defense game, Sandsoft Games has earned a special place here at PG Towers. With Fortress Frontline's charmingly cartoony art style, there's plenty to appreciate and enjoy.
Clashing castlesBut what about the gameplay mechanics? Fortress Frontline enhances your defense with heroes and rare cards, and a global leaderboard allows you to track your progress as you strive for the top spot—or perhaps somewhere in the middle, as many of us might find ourselves. The game takes a page from Vampire Survivors, with your attacks becoming increasingly flashy as you grow stronger.
