The tower defense genre might feel a bit crowded these days, often used as a flashy lure in countless ads. Yet, Sandsoft Games, the creators of the acclaimed Pocket Necromancer, have stepped up with their latest offering, Fortress Frontline, now available on Android via Google Play. This isn't just another entry in the genre; it's a fresh take that's worth your attention.
Fortress Frontline simplifies the concept beautifully. It's just you against waves of enemies, ranging from the easily swatted to the formidable behemoths. As you progress through runs, you'll tweak your loadout and secure permanent upgrades, all in the pursuit of longer survival times and higher scores. It's a straightforward yet compelling challenge.
Normally, I might struggle to muster excitement for yet another tower defense game. However, Sandsoft Games have earned our respect here at PG Towers, and with Fortress Frontline's charmingly cartoony visuals, there's plenty to appreciate. The game's design is both appealing and engaging, drawing you into its world with ease.
But what about the gameplay? Fortress Frontline enriches your experience with heroes and rare cards that bolster your defenses. Plus, a global leaderboard lets you track your progress, aiming to climb to the top—or perhaps somewhere in the middle, as many of us might find ourselves. The game takes inspiration from Vampire Survivors, embracing the roguelite formula where your power and the spectacle of your attacks grow with each playthrough.
