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? • 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.

Lost Frontier's advantage is ratings volume (200 vs 22) and iOS requirement (6.0 vs 8.0). On price, update cadence, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
