The tower defense genre may seem a bit crowded these days, often used as a hook in countless ads, but Sandsoft Games, the creators of the beloved Pocket Necromancer, have just launched Fortress Frontline on Android, bringing their unique twist to the mix. Available now on Google Play, Fortress Frontline offers a fresh take on the wave-based roguelite tower defense format, challenging players to fend off relentless hordes of enemies.
In Fortress Frontline, it's just you against the tide of foes, managing one side of the screen as you face off against both small, weak enemies and large, tanky ones. With each run, you'll tweak your loadout and unlock permanent upgrades, striving for longer survival times and higher scores. While the concept might not sound groundbreaking at first glance, Sandsoft Games' reputation for quality and the game's charming, cartoony art style make it a compelling addition to the genre.
What sets Fortress Frontline apart mechanically? Heroes and rare cards enhance your defensive strategy, and a global leaderboard allows you to track your progress, whether you're aiming for the top spot or somewhere in the middle. The game embraces a Vampire Survivors-like approach to roguelites, where your growing power leads to increasingly spectacular attacks.
