They Should Call This Game The Waiting Chronicles...

Frontier Chronicles is a game that could have been good but was absolutely butchered. The graphics are nice, and the art style gives it some uniqueness. The attention to detail is well done. My favorite part is that when you are training a troop you actually see a troop training off to the side of the military building. When there aren't any troops in the training que that animation is no longer present. I love when developers implement small things like that. However, that is about as good as it gets. Everything else about the game is just plain boring.

The game lacks a good tutorial to get players involved in the game at the start. By far the worst part about the game is the waiting. It's done in the most idiotic way possible. Most base building games will give you a free speed up the first time you construct a new building to get you set up fast. This game makes you sit and stare at a 30 second timer. The problem is you can't do anything else. The task will say construct a hospital and you have to sit there and wait until it is done before a new task pops up allowing you to attack a monster or something.

It gets boring very fast and feels like you are not even progressing. You have to wait for everything with no way to speed it up unless you spend real life money on the premium currency. 30 seconds to train a troop, 30 seconds to heal, 30 seconds to build. And you have to wait for them to finish before you can even do anything else. The battles are turn based and feel robotic. The animations just don't feel fluid at all. The way the auto play works is once you activate for the battle that is it you can't turn it off. So, battles are either done either completely by you or completely automatic. I really don't recommend this game. It's not fun at all and after waiting for those 30 second timers to expire you will quickly uninstall the game.
