Item Description
A dig site stretches out ahead, a fossil signal blinks on the radar, and your Bone Buggy idles at the edge of a ledge it doesn't quite have the engine to jump yet. That is the loop at the heart of Fossil Fighters: Frontier, the third game in Nintendo's dinosaur-collecting RPG series and its only entry on the 3DS. Released in Japan in 2014 and in North America in 2015, it traded the earlier DS games' on-foot exploration for driving, and that change reshapes the whole adventure.
You play as a new warden of the Fossil Parks, which span Asia, America and Europe, each with its own head warden, a set of dig sites and a stadium hosting tournaments that pay out money and raise your warden ranking. Excavation is still the series' signature pleasure. Fossils come out of the ground encased in rock that you chip away with the stylus using hammers and drills, racing a timer and trying not to damage the bones, and a cleaner dig earns a higher score. Each vivosaur is made of four parts, head, body, arms and legs, and every part you recover adds experience and a new move. Upgrading the buggy's battery, engine and digging tools opens up longer expeditions and fossils in harder-to-reach spots.
Battles pit you and up to two teammates against wild vivosaurs and a shady group with sinister plans for the creatures. Your partners can be AI-controlled Paleo Pals, and the elemental system is easy to read but rewards planning: water beats fire, fire beats air, air beats earth and earth beats water, while stances shift as attacks land to strengthen or weaken a vivosaur. Support and evasion shots loaded into your buggy let you boost an ally or make an enemy attack more likely to miss, and the battle animations are some of the liveliest in the series.
Frontier divided critics, who enjoyed the digging and the fights but grumbled about grinding and a slow opening, and it never reached the audience of the bigger monster-collecting franchises. Its charm is in how specific it is: a good-natured, often funny RPG that sits somewhere between Pokémon and a museum field trip, with boy and girl wardens to choose from and a fossil-cleaning hook all its own. If you spent hours chipping away at rock in the DS originals, this is where the series took the idea next.
