The tower defense genre might be feeling a bit crowded these days, often used as a hook in countless ads. However, Sandsoft Games, the creators of the acclaimed Pocket Necromancer, have just released Fortress Frontline on Android, bringing a fresh twist to the mix. If you're on Google Play, you can dive into this new wave-based roguelite tower defense game right now!

Fortress Frontline keeps things simple yet engaging. You're stationed on one side of the screen, tasked with fending off waves of enemies ranging from puny to powerhouse. Each run is a new challenge where you tweak your loadout and unlock permanent upgrades, all in the pursuit of surviving longer and achieving higher scores.

While I might usually find it tough to get excited about another tower defense game, Sandsoft Games has a solid reputation here at PG Towers. Plus, the game's charmingly cartoony art style adds an extra layer of fun to Fortress Frontline.

But what about the gameplay? Fortress Frontline isn't just about holding the line. Heroes and rare cards bolster your defenses, and a global leaderboard lets you track your progress as you aim to climb to the top—or maybe just the middle, like most of us. The game adopts a Vampire Survivors-like approach to roguelites, where your attacks become increasingly spectacular as you grow stronger.
