The tower defense genre might be feeling a bit crowded these days, especially with its frequent appearance in ads. However, Sandsoft Games, the creative minds behind the beloved Pocket Necromancer, have just released their latest game, Fortress Frontline, now available on Android via Google Play. This new title offers a fresh take on the genre, proving that there's still room for innovation and excitement.
Fortress Frontline is a wave-based roguelite tower defense game that pits you against endless waves of enemies. Whether they're small and weak or large and formidable, your challenge is to survive as long as possible. As you progress through multiple runs, you'll tweak your loadout and unlock permanent upgrades, striving to achieve the highest score possible.
While I might typically find it hard to muster enthusiasm for yet another tower defense game, Fortress Frontline stands out thanks to Sandsoft Games' reputation and the game's appealing, cartoony art style. This combination makes for a highly enjoyable experience.

But what about the mechanics? Fortress Frontline offers more than just waves of enemies. Heroes and rare cards enhance your defense, while a global leaderboard lets you track your progress against players worldwide. The game adopts a Vampire Survivors-like approach to roguelites, where your attacks become increasingly impressive as you grow stronger.
