About Fist of the Frontier
Fight. Return to camp. Choose who stays. Decide what kind of hero or monster you're willing to become. You are a fighter from Master Saito’s dojo. The kingdom is at war. Between waves you talk, get to know your companions, and prepare — then walk east and punch until the wall holds. THE LOOP Camp fire, defending a wall, and a story. Port opens deeper places: Skullwake Isle, Castle Ebonspire, and Gloamquay. Your path and your bonds change the world’s color. Who you befriend, who you spare, and which decisions you make decide the fate of this world written in shades of grey. LIVE IN THE WORLD As a fighter from Master Saito’s dojo, you arrive to the kingdom of Ostmark, under King Aldric who is at war with Malistra and her demon army. That war is the public face. Behind it, quieter powers move: vampire night courts, a purity order, and the Dark Elven powers seeding influence through exotic marshes. Choose Akeal, Rin, or Voss — each with different paths. Become friends, rivals or even lovers with your camp companions. Frontier — Wave after wave in classic beat 'em up fashion. Be the fist of the frontier, defeat enemies and guard the beacon for your chosen ally. Progress in waves is saved automatically, drop out whenever you want and pick up where you left off. Finishing 100 Waves of Frontier locks your path: light or night court — After that.... is for you to see Castle Ebonspire — a grey political dungeon with no cartoon villain; rival envoys, key bosses, and a Fracture that defeats one and haunts the survivor. Discover the hidden library and converse with the wanderer on the background lore on this castle that has seen far more tragedy than a war with a witch. Skullwake Isle — A tropical lagoon with a labyrinth, a fishing minigame hosted by Sensei Saito, ferry rides, and the main event: Tide Dig hover boat racing. Compete with friends offline and online on these chaotic and challenging oceans. Gloamquay — the Still Council: one seat per day, walk the quay, sleep at Kin-row, wake to consequences. Conversation and relationships are the key to understanding these Dark Elves. You join as one of five members of the Still Council, and must help the outpost of Gloamquay gain Capital favor during a Still Season. An optional on-device model can stretch a councilor’s answers — off until you turn it on. Darkweald — A village plagued with werewolf incursions. Help the town rid them by prepping their defense. There is more to the haunted forest than werewolves though... a group of fire worshippers who also happen to be talented card players await you for a game of Soul Flame. COMBAT Jab into a combo. Super punch on the third hit. Uppercuts, spin kicks, and a punch pad built for iPhone. Hit-stop when it connects. Extra: options, character bios, music, comfort screen, local model, info/privacy. Game includes additional configurations for more comfortable experiences, such as left handed controls, screen dimness, icon swapping. Can be found in Options menu under Extra on Main Menu. SAVES Campaigns live on this iPhone. Arcade scores are separate and never overwrite a story save. Made for landscape iPhone. Game Center supported.
What’s new
Version 1.2.1.0 · Updated September 23, 2026
The roads around Hollow Town are a hunt now. Ashen Reach, the Old Road, and Pinewood Forest are isometric trails. Four new lands run on past them: Grave March, Cinder Maw, Khepri Wastes, and Gloam Fen. Each road has its own packs, its own music, and weapons that drop only there. Rival families fight when they meet. Hollow Town is still the side-view street in the middle. Walk west out of Hollow to set the road to Easy, Medium, Hard, or Nightmare, and to go alone or in a party of up to four. Nearby and online parties use Game Center. If someone leaves, the hunt keeps going. Every trail has a safe fire: talk, trade, and a card table, with packs kept outside the light. Darkweald waystones are a board of paintings and hop those fires. The world stone still carries you to camp, the port, Gloamquay, and the rest of the kingdom. Continue from a trail wakes you in Hollow Town. On the trail you slash, dodge, and hold a skill: Whirlwind, Grave Lunge, Earthsplitter, or Blade Fan. A Close / Far switch puts a bow or a gun in your hands. Swords, bows, and guns take the color of what you equipped. Gold, chests, and trinkets drop where you fight. Stand in a crimson well to heal. Fishing is cast-and-wait from the bank, with a different catch on every shore and a card for what you landed. Caves run under the trails. A fall on the open road returns you to Hollow Town. A fall in a cave returns you to the mouth. Houses along the road open. The Hollow Town dungeon crawl is now six sellswords at the sanctuary fires: Bram Holt, Nyssa Vel, Elowen Marsh, Grimble Kegfist, Rask Coilmane, and Vellum Ash. A little coin hires one. They follow through the Weald and the caves until you dismiss them. Cairn walks the haunted roads at your pace and keeps his feet. Peddlers walk their routes, duck toward the lamps, and barter with each other. South of Grave March, Stillwake Parish keeps its own street if you find the gate. In Gloam Fen, Cap Rest is the Spore Guild: envoy Saelith, huntresses Lyss, Orra, and Mireth, and Keeper Nyss, who buys the sack. Kirana joins the dojo as a fourth fighter, in human, vampire, and dark-elf forms, including the District 7 prologue. Arcade Still Season is four posts: Ironcauseway, Saltglass, Sporefen, and Rootvelt. Gloamquay stays open for every steward to visit, and friends in the same season can see each other there. The owl oracle buffs the post you are sitting. Campaign Still Season is Gloamquay. Also in this update: painted arrival cards, a small hourglass while the road loads, redrawn talk portraits, a thinner mist on the Old Road, and Caps as the home screen icon. More icons are on the title screen, under Options. On a crowded trail, the nearest packs stay awake so the walk holds its pace. Saves carry over.
