About Girls' Frontline
Girls' Frontline casts you as a commander for a private military company in a fractured, post-war world. Balancing tactical strategy with role-playing elements, you manage resources, recruit soldiers, and navigate complex faction politics to restore order. The game blends base-building, unit deployment, and narrative-driven decisions, with a focus on long-term planning and consequence-based outcomes. Developed by SUNBORN Network and released in 2025 for PC, it’s a single-player experience that leans into its genre with turn-based combat and resource management mechanics. Expect a mix of base management, squad customization, and strategic warfare, all set against a backdrop of political intrigue and war-torn environments.
Gameplay
Each session involves managing a base, assigning units to missions, and allocating resources to expand your operations. Tactical combat revolves around positioning squads of soldier units, each with unique skills and weaknesses, on grid-based maps. You’ll balance offense and defense, using terrain and unit abilities to outmaneuver enemies. Between battles, you spend time upgrading facilities, recruiting new units, and making story choices that affect faction relations and mission outcomes. The controls are straightforward but require careful planning, as mistakes in battle lead to permanent unit losses. Missions vary from direct assaults to stealth infiltration, and your base’s development directly impacts your squad’s effectiveness. The game emphasizes long-term strategy over quick action, rewarding careful resource management and adaptive tactics.
What Players Think
With an average playtime of 18 hours and a 68% completion rate, Girls' Frontline has a dedicated but niche following. Early reviews on Steam average 76/100, with 42% of players rating it as “very positive” and 28% as “positive.” Community moods lean toward “focused” and “analytical,” with 35% of players describing the experience as “challenging but rewarding.” Reviewers praise the game’s strategic depth, though some criticize repetitive missions and a steep learning curve. Achievements are sparse, with only 12 total, averaging 75% completion across the board. Price points at $39.99 make it an accessible risk, though its niche appeal may deter casual players.
PlayPile's Take
Girls' Frontline is a solid pick for strategy and management enthusiasts willing to invest time in its systems. The $40 price tag aligns with its mid-length campaign and moderate difficulty. While not impressive, its blend of tactical combat and base-building offers enough depth to justify the cost for fans of games like XCOM or Jagged Alliance. Avoid if you prefer fast-paced action or minimal grinding. With 68% of players finishing it, persistence pays off, but expect a steep climb to mastery.
