Oxygen Frontier - Game Overview Oxygen Frontier is a strategy game integrating extraction-loot-evacuate gameplay, turn-based tactical combat, and creature collection & raising systems. In the 22nd century, a devastating meteor strike altered Earth irrevocably. Ancient algae dormant for hundreds of millions of years awakened from the ocean depths, releasing oxygen at an uncontrollable rate and pushing atmospheric oxygen levels up to 35%. Unable to adapt to this transformed biosphere, humans must rely on time-limited oxygen-suppressant medication to venture outside fortified strongholds, scavenging for resources across perilous hyperoxic wastelands. The surface now operates by an entirely new set of rules. Giant insects roam the forests, genetically resurrected dinosaurs retake their place atop the food chain, and mutated aberrants occupy ruined settlements. Every expedition is a gamble between abundant rewards and sudden death. Lead your expedition teams into uncharted territories to gather resources, tame wild creatures, defeat hostile threats, and evacuate safely before your suppressant effects wear off. Core Gameplay Loops Search, Fight, Evacuate Every expedition carries high risk with high reward tradeoffs. Hex-Based Turn-Based Tactical Combat Devise optimal battle strategies leveraging terrain, positioning, and synergistic skill combinations. Capture & Raise Dinosaurs and Giant Fauna Build your unique battle roster from tamed prehistoric and mutated beasts. Expansive Map with Diverse Random Encounters Uncover derelict ruins, loot caches, hazardous biomes, and secret hidden rewards. Construct and Upgrade Your Stronghold Craft consumables and gear using resources recovered from your expeditions. Evolving Hyperoxic Ecosystems Distinct regions feature exclusive environments, foes, and unique survival challenges. High-Risk Expeditions Resource density directly correlates with mortal danger. Deeper forest zones hold richer spoils, yet expose you to critical risks: expiring suppressant doses, ambushes by mutated humanoids, rampaging megafauna, and blocked escape routes. Every step forward forces a critical choice: Push deeper for greater gains, or withdraw immediately to live another day? Tactics Over Raw Stats Combat unfolds on a hexagonal grid with turn-based mechanics. Outmatch overwhelmingly stronger foes by utilizing cover, elevation, environmental advantages, coordinated ability combos, and careful unit positioning. Victory hinges not on raw stat power, but on your strategic judgment. Creature Collection & Progression Capture dinosaurs and mutated insects native to this hyperoxic world. Each species boasts distinct combat roles, unique abilities, and independent growth paths. Mix and match squad members freely to craft your bespoke tactical playstyle. The Hyperoxic Hazard The deadliest threat of this world is not its monsters — it is the very air you breathe. Your oxygen-suppressant medicine imposes a strict time limit on all field operations. Every exploration run demands you complete your objectives and retreat to safety within this narrow window.
