The entire game is unfinished, you can get to 500 population and level up your town to max with just ONE marketplace. But the radius of theater and temple are insane so it's clearly intended to build multiple marketplaces. You already "win" the game by just building a monument in a very unclimactic way. The entire endgame is totally discarded and slept on. And that in a game that is basically just a sandbox building game with no difficulty. And YES, this is exactly what the game looks like, tower on-off switching, the same stupid boring predictable a piss easy raider attacks, unless you taunt them on the military monument ... And the game lacks basics key and shortcuts its pathetic. No ENTER to confirm dialogs. Like after every fight 10–20 fences/gates broken, and I need to run my mouse one my one on my ultrawide screen from one edge to the other of the screen 20 times because these devs in all their wisdom spawn the windows on the opposite side and their position is NOT remembered. No button to "rebuild all buildings", no key to cycle through buildings, no overview screen for buildings, no shortcut for the happiness screen ... THIS GAME IS EARLY ACCESS STILL, they just LIED when they claimed it's ready! No key to put all towers on production on off, tediously with mouse only input to go through every **** tower all the time really kills the already boring endgame. The devs do not even understand the difference between FPS and refresh rate, do not expect anything from them. They also can not program a efficient game. The fact that you need a high-end CPU to play with a large population is insane for a city builder game where is pretty easy to get there, so you need to artificially limit because. No campaign, no challenges, nothing interesting happening, the same reparative stupid 5 different traders ... the same raider attacks like clockwork every 5 years or whatever the duck it is. But yeah all the plebs praise half-assed unfinished trash like this anyway. Gamers standards are to pathetically low, and It's proved once again. Glad I do not own this game. The devs claim you are not supposed to switch towers on-off the claim there is no machanic in the game to do this to "punish" players, yet they let them do it, its totally failed games design and it makes ZERO sense to have 80 guards sitting in towers doing nothing for 5 years until the next attack comes, operating at a loss and not having enough workers for no reason makes ZERO sense. Yet the devs claim you are not supposed to on-off switch towers and you supposed to just maintain them at all times. They have no clue about game design, no clue about game optimization, in fact they do not even know what the difference between FPS and refresh rate is, I notified them of this and they still not have changed it. I guess Unity lets you limit FPS and that is what you can do in the menu, but they call it "refresh rate" that is the Hz of the screen and I doubt Unity can control this or there is a mixup with fullscreen and windowed mode, the setting for sure did not make sense in EA and still does not in this "finished" game.

Farthest Frontier is a strong city-building game in terms of system depth and economic simulation; however, the complete absence of a story or guiding narrative makes the onboarding process unnecessarily difficult. In the early hours, the player struggles to understand why this settlement exists or what the long-term goal truly is. Since the mechanics are detailed and punishing, mistakes made without a narrative framework feel exhausting rather than educational. This creates a disconnected and cold introduction, especially for new players. While the game can be rewarding for patient players, its lack of storytelling significantly limits its accessibility.

As a medieval city builder, the game is perfect, but the combat system needs refinement.
