Coldfront is real-time strategy built for the touch screen. Mine ore, raise a base, field tanks, aircraft and infantry, and take the map — against the AI, your friends, or the ranked ladder. Two armies, one purchase. EMBER, the free army, plays every mode and every map, and the first act of the campaign, ten missions, is free. FROST, a second full army with its own units, structures and economy, is a single one-time purchase, and Act 2 of the campaign comes with it: five more missions, against FROST, the first of them free to play. The two want different things: FROST moves with the ore, EMBER digs in and outlasts it. Real-time multiplayer, 1v1 to 8 players. Everyone plays the exact same battle, move for move — what you see is what they see. Host a room and hand out its code or an invite link, or let QUICK MATCH find you an opponent. Signed in to Game Center, rated matches feed a public ladder; not signed in, everything still works unrated. A campaign that teaches. Act 1 takes you from your first harvester to full-scale assaults across ten missions, and it is free. Act 2 turns the war against FROST. A map editor that feeds the game. Draw your own battlefield — terrain, ore, starting positions, control points — then host on it: everyone who joins your room plays your map. Ten built-in maps ship with the game, each one a different place. Skirmish on your terms. Fight the AI at difficulties up to HARD, alone or with friends against it. Campaign and skirmish work offline. Every match kept. A replay of every match you start is recorded automatically — study a loss, or watch an army you don't own yet. Nothing else in the way. No ads, no tracking, no third-party anything, no account of ours, no timers. One in-app purchase exists — FROST — and this page has already told you everything about it.
