Foundation: Galactic Frontier

What the Foundation strategy game is about

Foundation: Galactic Frontier is set in the Foundation universe after the Galactic Empire has begun to fall and new factions are rising. The player takes on a single character who moves between the Empire, the Foundation, other factions and rebel groups. It suits people who want strategy and story together rather than pure combat.

The listing states that the game includes in-game purchases, including random items.

Playing as a trader, bounty hunter or political strategist

The character can work as an interstellar trader, a bounty hunter or a political strategist, and the listing describes moving between these roles as the galaxy shifts. Each faction is a different party to deal with, so the same route through space can lead to different contacts. Trade, bounties and political dealings are the three activities the listing names as the core of the game.

Story events that respond to your decisions

The listing describes cinematic narrative events that react to what the player chooses. Those choices are described as affecting how the galaxy develops. Because the story depends on decisions, two players may see different events over the same stretch of play.

Building and piloting your starship

The ship is built from cabins, and the listing names food, water recyclers and oxygen farms as things the cabins can provide for the crew. Cannons can be mounted on the ship, and the player pilots it through open space. The listing calls the ship a mobile space haven, which places the ship at the center of the game.

Crew relationships and emergencies on board

Crew members form bonds with the player, and the listing says the crew handles emergencies together. Daily greetings from the crew are described as a regular part of life aboard, adding to the sense of a shared home. These social and survival elements sit alongside the trading, bounty and political play.
