New Frontier Days offers a very different experience from anything else in the early Switch lineup, and I think it’s a valuable one for people who enjoy this type of game. While the game can be overwhelming at times, it’s very rewarding to see your little settlement grow and thrive. Unlike some similar games, it always feels like you’re playing an integral role in what’s going on, but that also means you always have to give it your full attention.
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.

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 provides enough fun to justify itself during the Switch's current drought, but that won't last very long.
New Frontier Days: Founding Pioneers doesn't venture into uncharted lands from the construction and simulation game territory, yet it's a pastoral, simple and efficient introduction to the genre, although such lack of ambition shows limitations sooner rather than later, whether because of the repetitiveness or the absence of multiplayer.
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.
Like many others of its ilk, New Frontier Days - Founding Pioneers is full of the types of mechanics that make for very addictive gameplay - the type that have that "just one more minute" gameplay. Despite how it makes the hours fly by, though, this is ultimately a boring grind with no real depth, no heart, and nothing special here. With the superb Stardew Valley on the horizon for Nintendo Switch, fans of these types of games should try holding out until then and give this one a pass. Heck, you would even be better off with Farmville to tide you over…
The gameplay loops that New Frontier Days offers are addictive and it's easy to get dragged into watching the town build over a period of hours, but the $13 or so that the game asks upfront is about $11 more than I've ever been suckered into paying for one of these games when they're free-to-play on mobile (I got a little too hooked and enthusiastic on Sim City BuildIt once, so sue me).
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.

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.

Summary New Frontier Days ~Founding Pioneers~ is a town-building simulation game, where you command your pioneers to colonize a new land. The pioneers are capable of "Logging", "Mining", "Hunting", "Fishing" and many others. Command them accordingly, and build your own town efficiently. [ASW]
