The tower defense genre might feel a bit oversaturated, especially with its frequent use in promotional ads, but Sandsoft Games, the creators behind the acclaimed Pocket Necromancer, have just released a fresh take with Fortress Frontline, now available on Android via Google Play!
Fortress Frontline simplifies the formula to its core: it's just you on one side of the screen, tasked with defending against waves of enemies ranging from the small and weak to the large and formidable. As you progress through multiple runs, you'll tweak your loadout and unlock permanent upgrades, all in the pursuit of achieving the highest survival time.
While I might typically struggle to muster enthusiasm for yet another tower defense game, Sandsoft Games has a solid reputation here at PG Towers, and Fortress Frontline's appealing, cartoony art style certainly adds to its charm.

But what else does Fortress Frontline offer? The game introduces heroes and rare cards to enhance your defenses, while a global leaderboard lets you track your progress against players worldwide, whether you're aiming for the top or somewhere comfortably in the middle. Fortress Frontline embraces the Vampire Survivors approach to roguelites, where your growing power leads to increasingly spectacular attacks.
