Foundation Galactic Frontier

I don’t often write game reviews but sometimes when there is nothing better to do than to take your mind off things and to chill into a universe where you have a little more control over the RNG than real  life. It was unusually quiet 2025 for various reasons so I decided a find a new show to watch, unfortunately it was behind a subscription service but the associated game was not not!

So welcome to the video game review of Foundation : Galactic Frontier. The game as its name suggest is derived from the Isaac Asimov focusing on the period in the books ‘The Traders’ and ‘The Merchant Princes’ While the game does not follow the books story line it does use the some key themes and characters with the Foundation universe as a setting. The in game universe and characters where the main draw for me but unfortunately the game hasn’t created any new lore or back story in the main time line but additional characters is the wider Foundation story universe. For example in current version of the game, the Prime Radiant  and Hari Melon part of the game story and are still in battle with The Mule and even short story with Hober Mallow. Note that the ads you see on the internet don’t reflect the game graphics or play. 

Foundation Galactic Fronter was developed by Funplus which is quite a large game developer and it is available for Apple iOS, Android and PC. The game is free to play and there are substantial in game purchases that speed up your progress. Do you need the in game purchases – No but if you want to be competitive with the top tier yes you need them. So enough of the formalities! In short if you like Sci-Fi RPG style with a large open universe with a ‘7 Samurai’ style premise to collect, visit planets, fighting the baddies and other evil players along the way then this game is for you. Foundation Galactic Frontier is an appealing game for me but the repetitive same play and griding is annoying. I predict a 6 month attention span for this game but more if they develop further or if you are into this sort of game. 

The premise of the Foundation Galactic frontier when I started playing in December 2025, was ‘The End’ where as my ship the Gram Class – Hayabusa had been attacked and it’s main parts scattered across space. However my trusty crew which consists of cool as, android Klara and loveable rogue Riian Dessos are there with me to pick up the pieces and put it together again. Consequently I had to grind a bit to get the pieces and upgrades in the first chapter, which also forms part of the game instructional mechanics. 

From then on follow the story line, upgrade your ships, crew and explore the universe!
