FrontWars.io and OpenFront.io: identify the game first

Reviewed October 18, 2026. These names lead to different projects. Before using a guide, bug report, shortcut or source-code formula, check which domain and version it describes.

Two separate starting points

• FrontWars.io is the browser entry for FrontWars. Its Steam listing identifies Phoenix and VexxusArts as developers and XTARZAN MEDIA SL as publisher, with Early Access starting October 4, 2026.
• OpenFront.io is linked by the OpenFrontIO repository. That repository describes a browser RTS about territory and alliances and documents running its own code.

What this distinction changes

A public OpenFrontIO file can explain that project's implementation. It does not prove FrontWars troop growth, costs, key bindings or victory conditions. A screenshot with similar colors is also insufficient to identify a version.

When reporting a problem, record the full game domain, browser or app, date, mode and steps that reproduce it. Send the report to that game's own support channel. When comparing advice, keep the game name and version beside the observation.

Choosing a route

Use FrontWars' official browser entry if you are following this site's FrontWars learning guide. Use OpenFront's own site and documentation if your goal is to inspect or run OpenFront. We have not established a shared account system, identical rules, a direct development lineage or that one version is more polished.
