What is Frontline Crisis?
Frontline Crisis combines top-down shooting with real-time strategy and tower defense in a future war over an energy source called Force. You control a mech to gather resources, build defenses, and fight alien swarms, alternating between preparation and combat phases. Each level ends with a boss fight.
For you if...
- +you want local co-op with separate ground and air roles
- +you prefer level progression and unlocks over roguelike runs
Not for you if...
- −you dislike rebuilding bases as you move between missions
- −you want to command armies without directly controlling a mech
