    It lacks in every single way. The building system is awful, it feels like a mobile game and nothing about it is fun in any way.

    The worst part is, because it's on the eshop you can't get a refund for it.

    Seriously do not waste your time.

    I myself bought this as a joke because it looked bad and boy was I right. It costs ten dollars and is like a mobile game that you can get for free it is a complete letdown and i recommend getting any other game than this I wish I could get a refund.

    Wtf with the press, why are you never right ?.
    This game for my taste was a pleasant surprise for the nintendo switch if it is true that it does not have much originality but it is a "good indie".

    Very underrated for my opinion 6/10

    Yet another trashy game on the switch that was only released to bolster the launch line up. I have already deleted it to conserve space and to remove the embarrassment of people seeing this on my switch.

    New Frontier Days: Founding Pioneers features a gameplay loop that's quite entertaining, and it's definitely one of those pleasurable, time-consuming style titles. I cannot suggest it if you’re not fond of the town-building simulation genre though, as it is not as nice to see as it is to play.

    New Frontier Days brings a new genre into the Nintendo Switch and this conversion is promising in some aspects. The game boasts a very long lifespan and the controls are very competent and compelling. Unfortunately the game also stops short at fully captivating the player, as some actions become repetitive too quickly and some aspects of the game, such as its audiovisual component, deserve a better treatment.

    New Frontier Days: Founding Pioneers provides enough fun to justify itself during the Switch's current drought, but that won't last very long.
