Lightyear Frontier invites you (and your friends in up to a 4-player co-op) to grow a cornucopia of cosmic resources and use your fresh harvest to improve your mech equipment. As you become a seasoned farmer with a souped-up mech, you’ll soon be able to grow rare plants and further explore previously inaccessible environments… and maybe uncover a mystery on this new planet.
Blending farming features with crafting, resource management, and base building, Lightyear Frontier’s alien planet is yours to transform and mold. While you’ll be safe on this new planet (thanks to the advice of PIP-3R, your trusty scanner satellite), your crops will need all the help they can get: from dealing with the ever-changing weather to keeping the local wildlife away; you will need to take a few precautions to safeguard your home on this new frontier.
FRAME BREAK will collaborate with the community during the development of Lightyear Frontier. To stay in touch with the developers and be the first to hear about new updates, join the game’s Discord.
