The tower defense genre may feel a bit oversaturated, often used in promotional ads, but Sandsoft Games, the creators of the beloved Pocket Necromancer, have launched a fresh take with **Fortress Frontline**, now available on Android via Google Play.

In **Fortress Frontline**, simplicity is key. You're tasked with defending one side of the screen against waves of enemies, ranging from small and weak to large and tanky. As you progress through each run, you'll tweak your loadout and unlock permanent upgrades, striving for longer survival times and higher scores.

While I might typically find it challenging to get excited about another tower defense game, Sandsoft Games has a solid reputation, and **Fortress Frontline** boasts a delightfully cartoony art style that adds to its appeal.

But what about the mechanics? **Fortress Frontline** enriches the gameplay with heroes and rare cards that enhance your defense. A global leaderboard adds a competitive edge, allowing you to track your progress against players worldwide. The game adopts a **Vampire Survivors**-style approach to roguelites, where your attacks grow flashier as you become stronger.
