The tower defense genre has seen an influx of titles, often used as a promotional tool in ads, leading to a sense of oversaturation. However, Sandsoft Games, known for their acclaimed game Pocket Necromancer, has now released Fortress Frontline on Android, offering a fresh take on the genre. This wave-based roguelite tower defense game challenges players to fend off hordes of enemies, from the weak to the formidable, as they strive to achieve the highest score possible.
Fortress Frontline simplifies the gameplay to its core: you control one side of the screen, managing waves of enemies. As you progress through runs, you can adjust your loadout and unlock permanent upgrades, aiming to survive longer with each attempt. While the concept might seem familiar, Sandsoft Games' reputation and the game's appealing, cartoony art style make Fortress Frontline stand out.
Beyond its visual charm, Fortress Frontline offers engaging mechanics. Heroes and rare cards enhance your defensive capabilities, and a global leaderboard allows you to track your progress against other players worldwide. The game adopts a Vampire Survivors-like approach to roguelites, where your attacks become increasingly spectacular as you grow stronger.
