What is Narrow Front?

Narrow Front: WW2 Strategy is a portrait strategy game developed and published by Matterward Labs (Matterward Labs Private Limited) for Android, iPhone and iPad. Command infantry and tanks, follow ten story missions across the Western Front, and build an army camp that expands into land held by the dead.

Dead of Night adds wave survival, while The Front connects battles into a war across a campaign map. The World offers a shared online map, and Play a Friend supports local head-to-head battles. Seasons bring daily orders, divisions and leagues every two weeks.

The game first released on Google Play on September 29, 2026, and on the App Store on October 8, 2026. Google Play has version 1.7.0, updated on November 12, 2026. The App Store has version 1.6.3, released on November 11, 2026.

Narrow Front is free to download on Google Play and the App Store. Optional purchases include premium crates, resource packs, a starter pack, gems and cosmetics. Crate odds are shown before purchase. Current offers and regional prices appear in the in-game store.

Campaign, Skirmish, Dead of Night and The Front work offline against the computer. Play a Friend needs a shared local Wi-Fi network, but no internet connection. The World, seasons, sign-in, cloud sync, purchases and rewarded ads require an internet connection.
