Developer Renka released 'Afternoon Frontline' on Steam as a free-to-play title on May 19, 2026. The game is a casual tower defense where players purchase and deploy characters using funds earned from defeating enemies. Each purchase changes the available lineup, as characters are randomly swapped, making every playthrough require a different approach. Enemies enter from the field's entrance and head toward the exit; each escape reduces the player's HP, and the game ends when it reaches zero. Experience points from defeated enemies are evenly distributed among characters within a certain range, so positioning matters for leveling. The main campaign runs 20 waves, with a boss appearing every five waves. After clearing the campaign, players can continue into an endless mode.
