What is Frontier Days?

New Frontier Days: Founding Pioneers is a town-building simulation game, where you command your pioneers to colonize a new land.

The pioneers are capable of “Logging”, “Mining”, “Hunting”, “Fishing” and many others. Command them accordingly, and build your own town efficiently!

From the materials gathered via the actions of your pioneers, you can then use them to “Build”! With the buildings, you can then process logs into lumber, weave wool into textiles, grow plants with the Field and many more! Make your town thrive with all these useful buildings!

You can also keep wild animals as pets too! Pets can go out with the pioneers to gather materials, or they can help in hunting, and even allow pioneers to ride on their backs!

As you progress in colonizing the land, you may obtain “Invention Cards” along the way. These cards provide various effects, such as shortening your farm harvesting time cycle, and increasing the fishing time and etc. There are over 290 cards in the game! Use them wisely!

Total of 80 achievements! Clearing the achievements will allow you to unlock very special artworks in the game! A total of 4 special artworks are available. Try and clear them all!
