## What is Lost Frontier?

Lost 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?

### 5/5 — War sehr gut

*2026-07-17*

Habe es damals in england gespielt und ist schon ein sehr gutes Spiel.

### 5/5 — Such a great game

*2025-05-21*

I really loved to play this game and have finished the campaign with 4 characters of the game and finished all challenge levels also. They are very challenging but this is the good part about the game.

Thank you for many hours of fun playing this masterpiece :-)

### 5/5 — 👍

*2025-01-17, version 1.0.3*

Just well made, top to bottom. Would love to see more!

### 5/5 — Didn’t get enough credit for how good this actually was

*2024-11-04*

We need a updated version or online battles

### 4/5 — Compatibility Issues

*2024-06-29*

Compatibility Issues with iPhone 15.

### 5/5 — Très bon jeu

*2024-05-09*

J’ai beaucoup aimé. Bon niveau de difficulté.

### 2/5 — Why so difficult?

*2024-03-28, version 1.0.3*

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.

### 5/5 — Excellent turn based strategy game!

*2024-01-25*

I downloaded this game looking for some advance wars nostalgia. It scratched that itch big time and then had me wanting more levels of this, thought it was really well made and clean. I didn’t think it was too difficult like other reviews have said, but challenge maps can be really hard if you haven’t maxed out the legend you’re using.

### 3/5 — Переодически вылетает !!!

*2024-01-21*

Отличная игра. Но не доработана. Во время игры вылетает. Исправьте пожалуйста. И оптимизируйте под новые экраны телефонов!

### 5/5 — Great little game!

*2023-12-03, version 1.0.3*

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!
