The tower defense genre might seem a bit oversaturated, especially with its frequent use in promotional ads. However, Sandsoft Games, the creators behind the well-received Pocket Necromancer, have just launched Fortress Frontline on Android, bringing their unique spin to the mix. Now available on Google Play, Fortress Frontline offers a fresh take on the wave-based roguelite tower defense formula, challenging players to fend off relentless hordes of enemies.

In Fortress Frontline, it's just you against the screen, holding one side as you face a variety of foes, from the small and weak to the big and tanky. As you progress through each run, you'll tweak your loadout and unlock permanent upgrades, striving to achieve the longest survival times possible.

While I might typically find it hard to muster excitement for yet another tower defense game, Sandsoft Games have earned a good reputation here at PG Towers. The game's appealing, cartoony art style adds a layer of enjoyment that makes Fortress Frontline stand out.

But what about the mechanics? Fortress Frontline enhances your defense with heroes and rare cards, while a global leaderboard allows you to track your progress as you aim for the top—or perhaps somewhere in the middle, as is often the case for many of us. The game adopts a Vampire Survivors-inspired approach to roguelites, where your attacks grow flashier and more powerful as you progress.
