How it feels

A tense but casual two-player match-3 puzzle game where you rebuild an empire through strategic tile-matching.

What players say

Players are split on The Far Frontier. Some enjoy the casual match-3 strategy hybrid and the castle upgrade loop, but many more call it unfinished, citing no tutorial, severe balance issues where enemy units feel overpowered, a campaign that ends abruptly in under three hours, and achievements that stopped unlocking after the developer vanished within two months of launch.
