"Fortress Frontlines Launches on Android: Endless Mobile Action Awaits"

The tower defense genre might feel a bit oversaturated these days, often used as a promotional tactic in ads. But when Sandsoft Games, the creators of the beloved Pocket Necromancer, enter the fray with their latest offering, it's worth taking notice. Fortress Frontline is now available on Android via Google Play, bringing a fresh wave-based roguelite twist to the genre.

In Fortress Frontline, it's just you against waves of enemies on one side of the screen. Whether they're small and weak or big and tanky, your task is to survive run after run. You'll tweak your loadout on the fly and unlock permanent upgrades as you strive for the longest survival times. It's a straightforward yet engaging setup that keeps you on your toes.

Ordinarily, I might not be too excited about another tower defense game, but Sandsoft Games has a solid reputation here at PG Towers. Plus, Fortress Frontline boasts a comfortingly cartoony art style that adds a lot of charm to the experience.

Heroes and rare cards enhance your defenses, while a global leaderboard lets you track your progress as you aim to climb to the top—or perhaps settle comfortably in the middle, as many of us might. Fortress Frontline takes a page out of Vampire Survivors' book, making your attacks grow flashier and more powerful as you progress.
