Lore

Timefront unfolds in the Known World, a high-fantasy realm with five rival races: Eldmen, Ironfolk, Kel’Darin, Grolls, and Travelers. Each race brings its own flair, like the Eldmen’s versatility or the Grolls’ aggression. The first campaign, “Reclamation,” stars the Eldmen in a tale players can influence, facing off against a shadowy force called the Timefront. Steam’s description paints a land of magic and medieval vibes, with factions clashing over land and power.

Gameplay

In Timefront, players focus on big-picture strategy, selecting Races, Units, Heroes, and Artifacts before each match. The goal is to seize Provinces and Settlements, expanding territory while engaging in tactical battles. Players can compete against AI or up to 15 others in Skirmishes or join forces for Raids. Combat emphasizes strategic planning over fast reflexes, set in detailed, ever-changing maps. A modding kit called Worldshaper allows players to create and share custom game modes, adding depth and variety.
