Report an issueLost Frontier is a turn-based strategy game, brought to you from the creators of the Battleheart and Zombieville series'. In a fantasy-western setting consumed by steam-punk technology and the supernatural, can you survive with just your wit and a six-gun at your side?
Features:
• Story Mode - Play through 24 chapters that introduce you to the gameplay, characters, and world of Lost Frontier.
• Challenge Mode - once you've mastered the mechanics, put your knowledge to the test in a series of 20 demanding missions.
• 20 Unique Unit types - take command of a wide range of Wild West forces, from Gunslingers and Cavalry to civil-war era Cannons and Gatling Guns. Or, employ more exotic weapons like steam-powered Gyrocopters and Zeppelins, and enlist the help of dark forces like Werewolves and Necromancers.
• Living Legends - choose a "Living Legend" as the leader of your forces. Each of the 9 unique legends grow in power as you play with them, and promote different play styles. Will you pick your foes off from a distance as Wyatt "Long-Arm" Wilcox, or focus on brute force with the help of ace gunslinger John "6-eyes" McGraw?
• Custom Games - choose from a variety of maps, set up the rules, and play with or against AI or human players via local, hot-seat play.

8 of 15This game is really fun. Different unit types, immersive story, and difficult but not impossible. One of the best games I’ve played in years.
Astonishing this game doesn’t have a perfect rating. It’s an immersive strategy game with a great story provided without ads or in app purchases. Download it and enjoy something uncommon in this day an age: an engaging and fun experience completely free of charge.
Any fan of the advance wars series will love this. A nice old-school strategy game with character progression elements. Has been a mainstay on my phone for many years. Nothing too flashy but worth the price in a morass of pay to win games!
There are a few minute details which high end turn based strategy games feature. One day into the game, I find myself not knowing how to check or accepting a serious flaw in the game. We are unable to view the range for our own units. We are unable view any information about the terrain, also. For instance, clicking or holding your finger on a unit should serve a purpose to display ranged attack length or unit information. Recruiting is annoying because everytime you view a unit, they prompt a 2 sentence pop up of information which increases time to select your unit. We should also be able to station units on saloons or homes. I’m also not sure if ranger attacks can go through them? They’re are so many mesas as well but shouldn’t we be able to place our units on them, or on hills. Also the menu buttons are way to close, they feature similar font and size. So often I will click on a different button than I desire, as they’re placed on the top right. I’d prefer more copy and paste of advance wars , Lost Frontier is old but there is much untapped potential.
I absolutely love this game, but since upgrading my old phone I don’t want to play it due to the format only being for older, smaller phones
Fun game with good music and visuals though the AI is pretty weak and it seems silly you still have to sit through all the tutorial messages even after you beat the campaign and are using unlockable characters meaning you must have already played through all the tutorials already and know how the units work. Also just a few bugs I want to report. Only one is legitimately game breaking, and it's a very niché scenario: -If the final enemy unit is a Machine and Crazy Jake destroys it and converts it to his side using his Legend ability, the game soft locks as it doesn't recognize that the last unit was killed and the end of the mission doesn't trigger, so you can't finish the level and are forced to surrender. After spending a solid 20-30 minutes on one of the later missions, this was a very annoying glitch to run into. -Crazy Jake's ability "Better Than New" does not do anything. I hand tested it in a custom game and it never raised a unit's attack values or (as far as I could tell) defense. I tried Jake healing undamaged unit, Jake healing damaged unit, Engineer healing undamaged unit, Engineer healing damaged unit, and none of it provided the unit with the effects of Snake Oil (unless you meant that as a joke, like how "Snake Oil" is phony in real life, though I doubt that was the intent in game as Snake Oil men do in fact serve a purpose in game). -Nadia Ramanov's units are supposed to have a 20% attack bonus during night time, but the reverse is actually true, she gets 20% attack bonus during daytime and no bonus at night which doesn't fit her vampire theming. -Clive Hawkins is supposed to get extra money during daytime, but he instead gets extra money during night time. -Edmund Ghast is supposed to get extra money at night but he gets it during the day. I'm just gonna go out on a limb and assume all day/night Living Legend interactions are accidentally reversed, as while I haven't tested all of them, all the interactions I've teated are backwards. -Edmund Ghast's legend ability where all his units adjacent to a friendly grave yard heal 30%, doesn't care whether or not the UNITS are friendlies. Meaning in an Edmund mirror match, the enemy Ghast gets healing from your graveyards. Seems like an oversight, should probably only heal friendly units not just "Any player who happens to be playing Ghast.
Cool game but it’s just too hard to actually enjoy. There is no reason why it should be this difficult even at lower levels. If your already fighting with less troops, then factor in your not making as much as the enemy and they can keep buying more reinforcements even while they are ahead. It doesn’t really make sense that the game does this.
I play a lot of turn based strategy games on my pc, but when I’m traveling I have to play mobile games, and when I was looking for mobile games, I found lost frontier. This game blew me away, and this game is a lot better than even some of the games on my pc. The story is great, and it is one of the few mobile games that actually has a good storyline. The combat is really good, as it is simple to learn, but you can do so much with it. The campaign is the best part imo, but the challenge and custom maps are also fun. Also, it is really cool unlocking new abilities for your character as you go along. On top of that, to fully upgrade any character it’s only $.99, so the max you can spend in the game is only $9, and you really don’t need to pay anything as it’s not pay to win at all. I have never written a game review before, but this game is so good that I had too.
