Space Station: Frontier is a tower defense space strategy released for mobile AND and iOS. It was developed by Origin8 studio specializing in this type of productions, known from the Sentinel series.
### Story
Space Station: Frontier does not offer an extensive storyline and the script is just a pretext to play with. The action takes place in the distant future, at a time when the Earth’s resources have been depleted, forcing our species to seek them outside the planet.
We play the role of the commander of a space station operating in distant regions of space. It was sent there to collect raw materials, but the task quickly turns out to be a very dangerous one. We come across an alien race that has modern technologies and is aggressively geared towards humanity.
### Mechanics
Space Station: The Frontier was built on the foundations of a tower defense strategy well known to every fan. Our task is therefore to construct automatic security systems that are capable of repelling the attacks of successive waves of enemies. However, this standard of the genre was realized quite untypically.
Each mission begins near the asteroid belt. The base itself is equipped with several plots of land, but they are not able to provide protection for a long time. That is why we have to create new segments that are connected to the database by corridors. In this way we construct points collecting raw materials and defensive objects, equipped with various weapons. The game does not limit this extension in any way, so at the end of each battle we have a strongly branched structure, reminiscent of a mechanical spider.
The enemies attacking us have a large set of various spaceships, with various features and weapons. As a result, repelling their attacks requires the use of different tactics and appropriate planning of the development of the base. Of course, we get cash for destroying our opponents, but it is not a good idea to invest all the money in weapons. We must also remember about extracting raw materials and building energy generators, because without them the weaponry will lose its power supply. The fact that aliens know this well and regularly focus their attacks on generators makes it difficult to have fun.
### Game modes
Space Station: Frontier offers an extensive single player campaign and two infinite modes where we have to stay as long as possible against endless waves of enemies, and then we can compare our own records with those developed by the rest of the community through online rankings.
