The tower defense genre has become somewhat ubiquitous, often utilized in promotional strategies across numerous ads. Yet, Sandsoft Games, the creators of the acclaimed Pocket Necromancer, have ventured into this crowded space with their latest release, Fortress Frontline, now available on Android via Google Play.
Fortress Frontline embodies simplicity at its core. Players are tasked with defending one side of the screen against relentless waves of enemies, ranging from weak to formidable foes. As you progress through multiple runs, you'll adapt your loadout and unlock permanent upgrades, striving for the longest possible survival times.
While I might typically struggle to muster enthusiasm for another tower defense game, Sandsoft Games' reputation at PG Towers and Fortress Frontline's charming, cartoony art style make it a compelling addition to the genre. There's a lot to appreciate here.
But what about the mechanics? Fortress Frontline introduces heroes and rare cards that enhance your defense capabilities. Additionally, a global leaderboard allows you to track your progress and compete with others worldwide, aiming for the top spot—or perhaps a respectable middle ground. The game adopts a Vampire Survivors-esque approach to roguelites, where the more you grow, the more spectacular your attacks become.
