Featuring tactical combat mixed with resource management, RPG progression, a fleet management system, and permadeath for ships lost in the void, Ancient Frontier has overcome a failed Kickstarter campaign and other hurdles during its development cycle. Aside from these features, little is known about the story itself, aside from the game is fully voice-acted.
Speaking with the PR rep for game, we asked why the choice was made to create a turn-based strategy game around fleets of starships. They said that the turn-based strategy genre often doesn’t explore the cosmos, and they wanted to rectify that.
Although the developers said a trailer would be released soon, we’ll have to wait and see if Ancient Frontier delivers the goods on September 21 for PC.
