Plan ahead in the hangar, customize loadouts with upgradable equipment and ships, spend riches on new gear and research. Then plot your course through the Galactic Map towards Eden, defending the ARK and the future of humanity along with it. Gather resources and experience to use on future attempts. 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.

Player Experience Highlights
Community Insight:
We love playing Arkfront. The gameplay is fun – yet challenging – and very rewarding. We always play in our free time.
ARKFRONT starts with a brief but good tutorial and then has you blasting asteroids and aliens while protecting the ARK. We have not experienced any of the issues mentioned by others and we are 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 us 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.
Im still getting the frozen title screen issue after updating. Ive tried numerous times and every time we reinstall the game, it plays fine the first time, but close the game once (MAYBE twice if Im really lucky), and the next time we try to load it up, itll get stuck downloading files at the opening title screen. Im on an iPhone 11, iOS 14.4.
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. We don't know what this game is trying to be, but not allowing us to reset our progress and erase any accumulated XP is really the last straw for us. We will be deleting this from our phone to look for an authentic arcade shoot 'em up experience.
Fun game exhausting tutorial though. Much too long and in depth for such basic gameplay.
Everything about this game is top notch. A must-own.
This game is fun- we want to keep playing- problem is, every time we 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. We would like to experience higher levels of this game- Ground Hogs Arc Day for us until something gets fixed. Seems like what ever it was has been resolved- five stars for this – fun stuff.
Several errors that force quit when trying to do anything in the hangar. Cannot equip a special without error. Regret spending money on this.
Some kind of string error cant play game.
Edit: 4/17/2021 Not sure what's going on though this iz our 3rd time installing from a frozen title screen. Help please… Are fixed, yaay.
Update: The new controls are much better Tap to move just doesnt 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.
This game is super addictive! We lost a little sleep playing this at night. Totally worth the time into each level, reminds us of the good old shooters.
This game was brought to our attention, didnt have many high hopes, but once we started playing it, we were in awe of the beauty of the game. Phenomenal gameplay and visuals, definitely worth the $.
This is a great game. Its exciting from the beginning until the end. We love the colors and graphics. Best game Ive played in a while.
Get ready to lose some hours of life and gain a blast from the past. Fun, well balanced. Keep the up the good work.
Great game! Love the FTL meets space Invaders feel of it. Unfortunately no 5th star d2 game crashing. Id love to send the crash report to the devs but we have no way of doing that in the app.
Great game. This game would easily be five stars if not for the controls. Please tighten them up we really want to play this game. Thank you.
Need to fix the controls of the game. Very unresponsive and the ship only shoots if right in front of the enemy. Needs to be shooting all of the time.
Played for an hour or so, the controls are laggy. Then it needed to in game update after closing it and taking a break, and now its been stuck for over an hour. Closed it and retried. No luck… Kind of mad we paid for this.
The shmup portion of this game is absolutely terrible; the game supposedly being about long term strategy is not an excuse for the floaty and imprecise gameplay.
