The campaign offers more than 120 levels to increase the diversity of each attempt. Find events for higher rewards and outposts for shopping and repairing along your way. FAST-PACED ACTION: Mobile first controls make high-paced arcade action simple to play, but hard to master. GALACTIC MAP: The Galactic Map system randomly generates new campaigns. Pulling from a collection of over 120 levels, each attempt is always unique. PREPARE: Build your custom loadout slots using the gear you want and set-off across the galaxy. Each attempt grants experience and coins to use on unlocking or leveling up powerups. 9 ships, 7 unique powerups, turrets, shield upgrades and 4 supers are available through the galaxy. WAYS TO PLAY: Play the campaign, a weekly challenge level, or alternative game modes like Countdown, Endless and Boss Rush. Arkfront demands short-term skill, medium-term preparation, and long-term planning in order to survive. SUPPORT: Twitter: @arkfront_game Email: shamus@arkfront.net

stuck in file loading- but is now fixed

This game is fun- I want to keep playing- problem is, every time i minimize the game then come back, the game gets stuck in its opening down load of files sequence. Only solution so far is to start over. I would like to experience higher levels of this game- Ground Hogs Arc Day for me until something gets fixed.seems like what ever it was has been resolved- five stars for this —- fun stuff!

Not really an arcade shooter. Both you and the enemies are bullet sponges with the only real test of reflexes coming from dodging enemies that fly out at you from the sides. Again, not fun. The game also has a weird RPG XP point system that carries over from game to game that can provide you with gameplay bonuses but you can't reset this accumulation and just start over without any XP points. This leads to a strange gameplay experience where it's not quite an arcade shooter and it's not a very good RPG. I don't know what this game is trying to be, but not allowing me to reset my progress and erase any accumulated XP is really the last straw for me. I will be deleting this from my phone to look for an authentic arcade shoot 'em up experience.

Hi!Sorry you’re disappointed with ARKFRONT. The game is still under development and RPG elements are being added over time. Eventually the world of ARKFRONT will be a living, breathing universe full of interesting and diverse characters.I’ll try out a few tweaks to enemy balance.A delete all progress button is a good idea, though. Thanks!

Controls fixed

This review process blows
Update: The new controls are much betterTap to move just doesn’t work with a SHUMP. The ship often ends up hidden under your finger making it hard to dodge bullets. Also your ship only fires when things are immediately in front of you so you have to be up close and personal, making it hard to dodge things.

ARKFRONT starts with a brief but good tutorial and then has you blasting asteroids and aliens while protecting the ARK.I have not experienced any of the issues mentioned by others and I am on an older iPhone. It seems like the devs put a lot of love and time into making the experience as enjoyable and reliable as possible.What excites me is that it sounds like they have plans to add much much more to the game!If you like beautiful space shooters, try out ARKFRONT, it's totally worth the time.
