Description

A groundbreaking cinematic turn-based strategy experience has arrived!

Fair Weather Studios proudly presents Ancient Frontier — a turn-based strategy RPG that thrusts players into the vast reaches of deep space in a distant future. Chart your own course as you explore, conquer, plunder, or bring freedom to the untamed edges of the cosmos.

Built upon the foundation laid by the studio's debut title, Bladestar, this universe expands dramatically — weaving together rival factions, treacherous corporations, cunning privateers, and sprawling galactic governments into one epic narrative. Command enormous fleets of capital ships and support vessels as you carve your path through the layered, intrigue-filled story of Ancient Frontier — where the future of warfare is forged.

  • Two fully developed, standalone campaigns

  • Engaging dynamic initiative-driven turn-based combat

  • A roster of more than 35 distinct ships at your command

  • Shape your strategy by unlocking powerful technologies through a deep and expansive Tech Tree

  • Two primary factions alongside three additional sub-factions

  • Vast, intricately designed space battlefields to dominate

  • Three distinct resource types to carefully balance and manage

  • A wide array of weapon systems and unique abilities to master in battle

The frontier awaits — will you rise to protect it?

Fantastic board game style turn based sci-fi game. Good overall plot, Campaign, simulation and quests. Techs to research and crew to fill your fleets. Imo a top class sci-fi experience. 9\10

TLDR: If you’re looking for a decent tactical space combat game with some strategy and RPG elements, this game might be for you, despite some shortcomings that prevent it from being great. + Small but decent selection

I bought this game because I like turn-based sci-fi strategy games. The story and graphics looked good, so I went ahead and tried it out. Boy, what a waste of money ! The mechanics of gradually building , equipping,

"did you really think that I came here to talk about these incredibly important issues? Silly, I'm a woman, I want you to bed me." I think this game tries to have some strong female characters... but damn does it fail,

I like turn based tactical games, so I probably enjoyed this game more than many will, but I can't recommend it due to two major issues. The primary issues I have with the game are: The game / combat is a grind The game

For a indie developer, and if you can get it at a discount, this is very fun game to have. Don't get it for the storyline and dialogue, you would be wanting. Amazingly the soundtrack is very nice to listen to. I do hope
