The tower defense genre may be feeling a bit crowded these days, especially with its frequent use in mobile game ads. Yet, Sandsoft Games, the creative minds behind the acclaimed Pocket Necromancer, have now stepped into the fray with their latest offering, Fortress Frontline, available now on Google Play for Android users.
Fortress Frontline keeps things refreshingly simple. It's just you against waves of enemies on one side of the screen. Whether facing off against small, weak foes or larger, tougher adversaries, you'll navigate through multiple runs, adjusting your loadout and unlocking permanent upgrades to push for longer survival times.
While it might be challenging to muster enthusiasm for yet another tower defense game, Sandsoft Games has built a solid reputation at PG Towers, and Fortress Frontline's charming, cartoonish art style certainly adds to its appeal.
Clashing castles But what about the game mechanics? Fortress Frontline introduces heroes and rare cards to bolster your defenses, and a global leaderboard lets you track your progress towards the top—or perhaps settle comfortably in the middle. The game adopts a Vampire Survivors-like approach to roguelites, where your growing power leads to increasingly spectacular attacks.
