The tower defense genre might seem a bit oversaturated these days, often used as a go-to tactic in mobile game ads. But Sandsoft Games, the creative minds behind the acclaimed Pocket Necromancer, have just released Fortress Frontline on Android, offering a fresh twist on the familiar formula.
Fortress Frontline keeps things simple yet engaging. You're tasked with defending one side of the screen against relentless waves of enemies, from the easily dispatched to the formidable tanks. Each run offers a chance to tweak your strategy, swapping out loadouts and unlocking permanent upgrades to extend your survival streak.
While I might usually struggle to muster excitement for yet another tower defense game, Sandsoft Games' reputation and the game's charming, cartoony art style make Fortress Frontline stand out. It's not just about surviving; it's about enjoying the journey.

But what about the mechanics? Fortress Frontline isn't just about holding the line. Heroes and rare cards enhance your defensive capabilities, while a global leaderboard lets you see where you stack up against other players. The game adopts a Vampire Survivors-like approach to roguelites, where your power—and the spectacle of your attacks—grows with each successful defense.
