About this game
The continent of Terramare is burning.
Whilst two armies fight for control of Lucentium; a volatile arcane resource that grants superhuman power to those who wield it, from the depths of the earth, something far worse is rising.
Arcflame Frontiers is a turn-based tactics wargame where positioning, timing, and decisive action determine the outcome of every battle. Command one of three mechanically distinct factions across handcrafted battlefields built for explosive, intelligent combat.
Most tactics games make you wait. Build up resources then play units by spending mana. Arcflame Frontiers doesn't.
Every readied unit is available to deploy immediately. More powerful units carry a Recharge cost - rounds they need before activating. This keeps combat fast, removes artificial progression barriers, and ensures every decision on the battlefield is a genuine tactical choice, not a resource management puzzle. All units attack simultaneously at the end of each round. Plan wrong, and the entire board can flip in a single moment.
Turn-Based Tactical Combat
Grid-based battles with an emphasis on positioning, ability timing, and unit synergy.Environmental Interaction
Battlefields are more than static arenas, with terrain and layout playing an active role in combat decisions.Diverse Units & Abilities
Units are built around clear tactical roles, offering varied playstyles and strategic combinations.

Campaign
Three faction campaigns, each told through the lens of a different army. Story unfolds through animated cutscenes and in-game dialogue in the tradition of classic RTS storytelling. Arcflame Frontiers is built around a structured, narrative-driven PvE campaign composed of handcrafted missions.Each mission is carefully designed with its own objectives, battlefield layout, enemy composition, and narrative context. Rather than sandbox skirmishes or management-heavy systems between missions, the campaign delivers curated tactical scenarios that escalate in scale, complexity, and stakes as the story unfolds.
Conquest
Choose your faction, bring your army and battle for control of Terramare in a Total War-style territory control mode that generates endless, personalized challenges.Competitive
Take your army online in PvP skirmishes, or test your tactics against our behavioral AI in solo skirmish mode.Strategium
Build and manage your collection between battles. Earn Lucentium on the battlefield. Spend it to acquire new units and refine your army composition.

Each faction in Arcflame Frontiers is built around a clear identity and tactical philosophy. Factions are not cosmetic variants. They encourage different approaches to positioning, unit composition, and battlefield control.
Kingdom of Akel - Human Technological Supremacy
A disciplined industrial power that blends early firearms with arcane engineering. Akel units excel at structured formations, combined arms tactics, and steady battlefield control through ranged pressure and defensive positioning.The Dwellers - Nature's Fury
Inhuman entities shaped by arcane mutation and instinct. Dweller units focus on raw power, unconventional movement, and battlefield disruption, forcing opponents to adapt to unstable and hostile conditions.Feynerian Outcasts - Magic Infused Mutants
Agile, aggressive, and unpredictable. The Outcasts favor mobility, ambush tactics, and high-risk maneuvers, rewarding players who strike quickly and exploit openings rather than holding fixed lines.
Each faction is designed to feel mechanically distinct while remaining readable and balanced within the same tactical framework.
Join the battle for survival.

We threw out the resource grind the genre is known for. No mana, no build-up. Every unit is ready from the first turn, powerful units held back only by a recharge cooldown, and at the end of each round every unit attacks at once — so a single misread can flip the entire board.In the Closed Alpha you can:Command three mechanically distinct factions, each with their own playstyleLearn the ropes in the tutorial, then test yourself in competitive modesPlay early builds of the faction campaignsShape the game directly — your feedback at this stage genuinely changes what we build next How to joinHead to https://arcflamefrontiers.firstlook.gg/ , sign up, and you're in.
