Polytopia alternative Warfront — turn-based grid strategy with clashing units mid-battle
Capture villages for income, train your army, storm the enemy HQ.

Why Warfront is a great Polytopia alternative

  • Grid-based expansion: Capture villages and houses for steady gold income, then reinvest it into a bigger army.
  • Rock-paper-scissors units: Seven unit types with clear matchups — spearmen beat cavalry, archers down flyers, and a dragon rules the skies.
  • Hero commanders: Killable heroes like the Warlord (Whirlwind) and Archmage (Meteor) turn the tide with special skills.
  • Deterministic combat: Damage is fully calculated — no dice, no luck, just tactics.

How it differs from Polytopia

Warfront is built for head-to-head play: challenge friends or battle bots, not just an AI campaign. Terrain like woods, mountains and walls changes defense, and you win by seizing the enemy castle (HQ). Pick a map — Woodland Grove, Eagle Pass or Golden Plains — a Normal or Large size, and a turn limit from 15 up to Annihilation. Team up for 2v2 battles with up to four players.

Play Warfront free now and take command of the battlefield.
