Nether Earth is one of the earliest computer strategy games taking place in real time. It was released for the Amstrad CPC, ZX Spectrum and Commodore 64 in 1987. It was published in the United Kingdom by Argus Press Software and re-released in Spain by Mind Games Espana S.A. The player takes the control of the human side in a war against the mysterious Insignian race. All of the warfare is carried out by enormous military robots. The player controls a flying machine which can fly over any part of the play-area. The player must build robots and give them orders to attack Insignian robots and capture neutral or enemy factories to increase production and thus aid the war effort. The ultimate objective is to capture all the enemy bases and thus win the war. Everything takes place in real-time with the action being ongoing rather than turn-based. Because the player's view of the battlefield is limited to where their flying-machine is, much of the front-line fighting is left to the machines whilst the player concentrates on building more robots. The game is displayed in forced-perspective isometric graphics.

Verdict
The clearest difference is price: Final Front at Free against Nether Earth's $0.99. Final Front also leads on rating (4.6 vs 3.6) and update cadence (fortnightly vs every 23 months). Nether Earth's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 9) and ads (none vs shown). On review sentiment and device support there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Final Front is free to download; Nether Earth costs $0.99 up front. Final Front sells 9 one-off in-app purchases. Nether Earth asks for nothing beyond the download.
Final Front holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 3.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Final Front has 250 ratings behind it against 13, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 54% of Nether Earth's written reviews are positive against 47% of Final Front's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Nether Earth ships an update every 23 months, Final Front fortnightly. Both last shipped on November 6, 2026.
