Crate Entertainment’s medieval city builder, Farthest Frontier, is currently available on Steam at a 50% discount, priced at $17.49 instead of $34.99. The promotion runs through July 9, 2026, according to data from SteamDB.
Building and managing a frontier settlement
In Farthest Frontier, players guide a group of settlers searching for untamed land on which to found a new community. The game tasks you with harvesting 16 distinct raw materials, which in turn enable the construction of more than 190 building types. A thriving town attracts additional residents, and you can support the population by farming crops and hunting wild animals to satisfy the varied needs of your citizens.
Balancing growth, defense, and public health
The settlers represent the core of the town’s economy, filling a wide range of jobs that keep production chains moving. Protecting them from external threats is essential, whether by erecting fortifications or training an army. Domestic dangers also loom: outbreaks of disease must be contained to prevent catastrophe. For players seeking greater difficulty, the title includes customizable options that allow tailoring the experience to individual preferences.
Reception and mixed feedback
The game has garnered strong community backing on Steam, where 86% of its more than 24,770 user reviews are positive. Aggregator Metacritic records a Metascore of 83 alongside a user score of 7.1. Fans frequently praise the medieval atmosphere, visual presentation, and the freedom afforded by its open-ended gameplay. At the same time, some players note that progress can feel sluggish, and there have been recurring critiques about balance issues and lingering bugs.
