About Coldfront: Real-Time Strategy
One drag, twenty tanks. One tap, and they roll. Built for touch: the real-time strategy you used to stay up far too late playing. Free to download. No ads, no timers, no energy bars. Harvesters roll out to the crystal fields. Your base rises under the cranes. Tanks, infantry and aircraft pour off the line. And somewhere across the map, someone else is doing exactly the same thing. TWO ARMIES. ONE WAR. EMBER digs in. FROST follows the money. EMBER is free, and it goes everywhere. Troopers and Maulers up front, Stormcaller rockets behind them, Skyjacks on jetpacks overhead, and the Titan, for when you're done being polite. FROST is a whole second army with its own units, buildings and economy. Its Glacier refinery drives out to the ore and sets up shop. Then the weather turns: Avalanches, Whiteout bombers and Hailstorm flak. Anyone can fight against FROST. Commanding it yourself is a one-time in-app purchase that also unlocks the rest of the campaign. That's the only thing we sell. BRING A FRIEND. OR BRING SEVEN. Real people, real time: online battles from 1v1 to 8 players. Host a room and send the code or an invite link, or tap QUICK MATCH. Sign in with Game Center to climb the ranked ladder, or skip it and just play. If a player has to step away, the match pauses for them instead of dropping them. FIFTEEN MISSIONS A campaign that teaches, then bites. Act 1 takes you from your first harvester to full-scale assaults across ten missions, and it is free. Act 2 takes the fight to FROST: five more missions against it, the first of them free to play. The rest come with the FROST purchase. A NEW FRONT EVERY DAY TODAY'S FRONT is one fresh battle a day, and the whole world gets the same one. Win it, then go again and beat your best time. SKIRMISH ANYWHERE Fight the AI on Easy, Normal or Hard. Go it alone, or team up with friends online. Campaign and skirmish work offline, so your commute counts. DRAW YOUR OWN WAR Lay out terrain, ore, starting positions and control points in the map editor, then host a room on it: everyone who joins plays your map. Ten built-in maps ship with the game too, from snowfields and desert to city blocks, wetlands and lava rifts. ON TAPE Every match you start saves itself as a replay. Relive the win. Scrub to the second the loss went wrong. IT SOUNDS LIKE A WAR Shells leave craters. Wrecks burn. The shots you hear started as real recordings. The crystal ore shrinks as you mine it, and you can watch your harvesters fill up. On newer iPhones and iPads, the water moves and the trees sway. No account to make, no third-party tracking, nothing between you and the next match.
What’s new
Version 2.2.0 · Updated October 20, 2026
Rebuilt soldiers, tanks that aim on the move, and online matches that pause for a quick call. - Every soldier is rebuilt from the boots up: Flank Troopers carry a real bazooka, and Skyjacks hover on jetpacks you can see. - The Titan and Stormcaller are rebuilt, the Skywarden carries a missile launcher, and EMBER tanks swing their turrets to aim. - Online matches now pause when a player steps away or loses signal, and one slow phone no longer makes everyone stutter. - Skirmish setup fits on one screen, and the AI picks its own army: you find out which when you meet it. - Harvesters now back straight onto the front of the refinery to unload. - Bug fixes and small improvements.
