Build A City In The Farthest Frontier And Try To Survive, Now Available On Steam Early Access

Crate Entertainment, the developers of Grim Dawn, has a new game available starting today and it’s not a Diablo-like ARPG. Instead, Farthest Frontier is a Banished-like survival city-builder, tasking you to start a village on the edge of the world with barely any supplies.

There’s a ridiculously in-depth farming system where different crops have different stats, are suitable to be planted at different times of a year, and can positively or negatively impact the state of the soil, so you may opt to not grow crops for a year to just till the lands and plant fertilizing crops instead.

Not only that, you’ll need to protect the kind folks living here from attacking predators and raiders. As well as provide them with enough food and firewood to last the winter of each year.

And also, villagers can catch nasty diseases like cholera and dysentery from not having access to clean water, catch frostbite, tetanus and rabies from not having good clothes.

You can fine-tune the difficulty, like turn off all the combat aspects. And the world is randomly generated as you’d expect from city-builders of its kind.

If you like a challenging city-builder that can be calm and idyllic but can turn nasty with various unfortunate events propelling you into a death spiral, Farthest Frontier is for you. If the 500,000 people that wishlist the game on Steam are all expecting a city-builder that plays like Banished, based on our preview, we can certainly say you’d be happy to play Farthest Frontier.

Farthest Frontier is now available on Steam Early Access for RM51.
