The tower defense genre might seem a bit crowded these days, often used as a hook in countless mobile game ads. But when Sandsoft Games, the creators of the acclaimed Pocket Necromancer, decide to enter the fray with their new release, you know it's worth a second look. Say hello to Fortress Frontline, now available on Google Play for Android!
Fortress Frontline keeps things simple yet engaging. It's just you, defending one side of the screen against relentless waves of enemies. Whether they're small fry or massive tanks, you'll navigate through multiple runs, tweaking your loadout and unlocking permanent upgrades to extend your survival time.
While I might usually be skeptical about yet another tower defense game, Sandsoft Games has a solid reputation here at PG Towers. Plus, the game's charming, cartoonish art style adds a delightful touch. There's definitely something to enjoy in Fortress Frontline.
Clashing castlesBut what about the gameplay mechanics? Fortress Frontline spices things up with heroes and rare cards that bolster your defenses. And for those competitive spirits, a global leaderboard lets you track your progress as you aim to top the charts—or at least not be at the bottom. The game takes inspiration from the roguelite sensation Vampire Survivors, where your attacks become increasingly spectacular as you grow stronger.
