About the Game

Command any war. Build any battlefield.

About Frontlines is a 1v1 turn-based strategy game where the battlefield is entirely yours to shape. Every map, every unit, every rule of engagement, you decide. The result is a strategy game with no fixed borders: your imagination sets the scenario, and the system adapts to fight it.

Total creative freedom

Draw the map. Design the unit. Set the doctrine. About Frontlines hands you the tools to build the exact battle you want to fight, down to terrain, unit stats, and the rules that govern them. No battle plan is off-limits.

One system, every era

At launch, About Frontlines ships with a WWII scenario — tanks, infantry, artillery, and battlefields. But the engine underneath doesn't care what century you're fighting in. Once the tools are in your hands, WWI trenches, Napoleonic lines, Roman legions, Vietnam jungles, or wars that haven't been fought yet are all within reach. If you can imagine the battle, you can build it.

Play your way

Face off against AI to sharpen your tactics, challenge a friend directly, or jump into online matchmaking to test your strategy against the world. Two commanders, one battlefield, no distractions.

Clean design, deep strategy

The interface and map style are minimal by design. Underneath that simplicity sits a system built to scale with whatever you throw at it, from a small skirmish to a fully custom scenario built from scratch.



Key features

  • Multiple ways to play: vs. AI, vs. friends, or online matchmaking

  • WWII at launch, with the full scenario-building toolset included

  • Build your own units, maps, and scenarios: any era, any theme, any imagination

  • Clean, minimalist design: a battlefield that's easy to master and adapts to every scenario
