Press release:
Fair Weather Studios is very happy to announce that their turn-based strategy RPG hybrid “Ancient Frontier: Steel Shadows” is now available on Steam worldwide for $14.99.

Created by two-man development studio Fair Weather Studios, Steel Shadows puts players in the role of a space outlaw looking to make his name in the outer frontiers.

Players must hire a crew of their choosing and then over the course of the game build an entire pirate fleet to steal, pillage and raid the fringes of Federation space.

Ancient Frontier Steel Shadows allows pirate commanders to customize the ships in their fleet with various upgrades and weaponry to dominate on the battlefield against the various factions of the universe.

To celebrate the launch of the standalone expansion of the original Ancient Frontier, Fair Weather Studios are having a 60% discount on the original game allowing players to pick both up for under $25. Carrying on the story of the universe from 2017’s Ancient Frontier, Steel Shadows is available now on Steam for $14.99 worldwide.

About Ancient Frontier:
Steel Shadows is a standalone RPG set in the epic universe of Ancient Frontier. You do NOT need to own or have played Ancient Frontier to enjoy this content. Take command of a rag tag band of pirates and outlaws as you fight your way across the Frontier for treasure and glory. Delve into our latest turn based tactical RPG.

You play as Rogan Harker, a recently freed convict. He travels to the Frontier to find old friends and start a new life. But the overpowering Federation still controls most of the Frontier, and the new and budding Alliance is no fan of outlaws.
