Our take on Frontline Crisis
Focusing control on one mech keeps the battlefield role concentrated, but limits the scale of unit management found in larger RTS games. The level-based structure also trades repeated run variation for a clearer sequence of missions and boss encounters.
What is Frontline Crisis?
Frontline Crisis combines real-time strategy with direct mech combat.
A single mech can move, fire weapons, defeat insects, collect resources, construct a base, and call in additional forces. Each level has a preparation stage for arranging defenses, followed by combat where those plans are carried out. Progression is level-based rather than roguelike, with a distinct boss at the end of each level. Defeating bosses opens new items and expands build choices. Local co-op supports two players, with one controlling ground units and the other operating in the air. The game also presents an energy-conflict setting involving humanity, alien swarms, and mutated former comrades.
How Frontline Crisis plays
- 01Single Mech Control
- The mech handles movement, ranged attacks, insect elimination, resource collection, construction, and summoning.
- 02Two-Phase Missions
- Players first arrange defenses without combat pressure, then enter an action-focused battle stage.
- 03Boss-Led Progression
- Every level concludes with a distinct boss, whose defeat reveals items and additional build options.
- 04Local Cooperative Play
- Two participants can divide responsibilities between ground operations and aerial combat.
