The tower defense genre might seem a bit oversaturated, especially with its frequent use in promotional ads. However, Sandsoft Games, the creators of the well-received Pocket Necromancer, have just released Fortress Frontline on Android, bringing a fresh take to the table.
Fortress Frontline is a wave-based roguelite tower defense game where you stand on one side of the screen, facing relentless hordes of enemies. Whether they're small and weak or large and tanky, you'll navigate through multiple runs, adjusting your loadout and unlocking permanent upgrades to extend your survival time. The game's mechanics are straightforward, but its engaging gameplay keeps you hooked.
While I might typically find it challenging to get excited about another tower defense game, Sandsoft Games have earned our trust at PG Towers. With Fortress Frontline's charmingly cartoony art style, there's plenty to enjoy. The game also introduces heroes and rare cards that enhance your defense, and a global leaderboard where you can track your progress against other players worldwide. It adopts a Vampire Survivors-like approach to roguelites, where your attacks become increasingly flashy as you grow stronger.
