The tower defense genre might seem a bit crowded these days, often used in flashy mobile ads, but Sandsoft Games, the creators behind the beloved Pocket Necromancer, have just released Fortress Frontline on Android, bringing a fresh twist to the scene. Now available on Google Play, this game is a wave-based roguelite tower defense that pits you against relentless hordes of enemies.

In Fortress Frontline, it's just you on one side of the screen, tasked with fending off waves of foes, from the weak to the mighty. As you progress through runs, you'll tweak your loadout and unlock permanent upgrades, striving for longer survival times. It might sound like a typical tower defense game, but with Sandsoft Games at the helm and a charmingly cartoony art style, Fortress Frontline offers a delightful experience.

While the concept might not initially spark excitement, the reputation of Sandsoft Games adds a layer of anticipation. Plus, the game's mechanics, including heroes and rare cards to bolster your defense, and a global leaderboard to track your progress, inject a competitive edge. Fortress Frontline adopts a Vampire Survivors-esque approach to roguelites, where your growing strength leads to increasingly spectacular attacks.
