The tower defense genre might be facing an oversaturation challenge, often used as a promotional tool in countless ads, but Sandsoft Games, renowned for their exceptional title *Pocket Necromancer*, have just released *Fortress Frontline* on Android, bringing a fresh twist to the scene. Now available on Google Play, *Fortress Frontline* offers a compelling wave-based roguelite experience that challenges players to withstand hordes of enemies.
In *Fortress Frontline*, the gameplay is as straightforward as it gets. You're tasked with defending one side of the screen against an onslaught of enemies, ranging from small and weak to large and formidable. As you progress through multiple runs, you'll have the opportunity to tweak your loadout and unlock permanent upgrades, all in the pursuit of achieving the highest score and longest survival time.
While I might typically find it challenging to muster enthusiasm for another tower defense game, *Fortress Frontline* stands out due to Sandsoft Games' reputation. The game's charmingly cartoony art style adds a layer of enjoyment that's hard to resist. But what about the mechanics? Heroes and rare cards enhance your defense, and with a global leaderboard, you can track your progress as you aim for the top—or perhaps settle comfortably in the middle, as many of us might.
*Fortress Frontline* adopts the *Vampire Survivors* approach to roguelites, where your strength and the flair of your attacks grow as you progress. This dynamic ensures an engaging experience that keeps you hooked.
