The tower defense genre might seem a bit crowded these days, often used as a hook in countless ads. Yet, Sandsoft Games, the creative minds behind the acclaimed Pocket Necromancer, have ventured into this space with their latest release, Fortress Frontline, now available on Android via Google Play.
Fortress Frontline offers a straightforward yet engaging experience. You're tasked with defending one side of the screen against waves of enemies, ranging from the small and feeble to the large and formidable. As you progress through each run, you'll have the opportunity to adjust your loadout and unlock permanent upgrades, striving for the longest survival times.
While I might typically find it challenging to muster enthusiasm for another tower defense game, Sandsoft Games has earned our trust here at PG Towers. With its charming, cartoony art style, Fortress Frontline promises plenty of enjoyment.

Fortress Frontline spices things up with heroes and rare cards that enhance your defenses, alongside a global leaderboard where you can track your progress—whether you're aiming for the top or content with a solid middle ranking. The game embraces the Vampire Survivors approach to roguelites, where your increasing power leads to ever more spectacular attacks.
