A turn-based strategy game for mobile devices, set in the American Old West. It was developed by the Mika Mobile studio and takes the player to a land combining the Wild West with occultist ideas. Such a combination gave plenty of room to the creators, when it came to writing the scenarios and inventing the virtual weapons. The game focuses mainly on turn-based battles during which, the player can command over twenty different types of units.

[0:34] Lost Frontier launch trailer

Lost Frontier is a turn-based strategy game created by Mika Mobile. In general, the title resembles games from the Advance Wars series from Nintendo.

Story

The plot takes us to the Wild West, but the stylistics of Western mixes here with fantasy, thanks to which, apart from cowboys and confederates, we will also find werewolves and vampires. The player takes on the role of commander of a group of mercenaries chasing a dangerous and elusive desperado.

Mechanics

Lost Frontier is a turn-based strategy game reminiscent of the Advance Wars series. At the beginning of each battle, the player receives a certain number of units and must use them to defeat the opponent's army. Although most of the subordinates are only cannon fodder, the creators did not abandon the character development system completely and introduced the so-called Living Legends, representing special units, which will advance as we complete subsequent missions.

The title provides the player with more than 20 different units, among which we can find cowboys, confederates, combat machines (such as powerful airships), but also fantastic creatures such as zombies and werewolves. The game offers 24 missions of the main plot and 20 missions as an additional challenge for advanced players.

Game modes

In addition to the story campaign and the challenge mode, the player can also take part in single battles, clashing with both the AI and other players.

Technical aspects

The production debuted on mobile platforms, so it is characterized by rather simple, cartoonish visuals, reminiscent of games for Game Boy Advance or Nintendo DS consoles.
