Description

On The Edge is the third and final expansion for Frostpunk.

"They say the snow is dead. But we've learnt to the contrary."

- Samuel Robinson, Frostland Scout (1887, New London).

About On The Edge expansion:

Assigned as the leader of a newly formed Outpost — settled near the Army Warehouse — you are kept on New London's leash and bound to transfer all your precious findings to the headquarters. At the same time, you have to rely on scarce food deliveries and laws enforced by your supervisor. It's a delicate balance to navigate — each decision introduces new risks and hardships. But as soon the alternate food source is discovered by your scouts, you can start to think about surviving on your own…

Snowy tides turn quickly on the Frostland. There are other Settlements out there willing to cooperate with you. Once you manage to gain their loyalty, designate trade routes between new allies, and regain control over your Book of Laws, then you can form a strong, independent union - and shake off New London's yoke.

On the Edge - features:

  • New Frostland mechanics: Settlements and Safe Routes

  • New Relations mechanics: Favours, Improvements, Trading, Diplomacy

  • New Unit: Construction Team - used to build Trading Depots and Safe Routes

  • 16 brand new areas on Frostland and new lore added to some of the old sites

  • 3 new city structures and 7 new technologies

  • A brand-new Setting in all Endless Mode variants: Settlements

  • 25 minutes of new music (6 tracks) composed by Piotr Musiał

  • Many smaller additions, improvements and fixes

On The Edge gives you the opportunity to break free of the shackles New London has inflicted upon you and turn your ice-cold will back onto your masters.

To be blunt, I despise this scenario. I love the game and I have beaten all of the scenarios. This one, however, requires such extreme micro-management that it killed the entire Frostpunk vibe for me. I literally

Frost Punk is a great game. This DLC is just not up to the task though. Stripped down frankly boring version of the game. Trading with other settlements is an interesting addition but everything else is recycled and

I really don't understand the mixed reviews for this DLC, it's great! A solid Frostpunk scenario that adds a new map and gives you the chance to try and survive without the generator. The diplomacy and trade features

I wish I could give this a "middle thumb" because mixed feelings is right on the mark. Like most Frostpunk scenarios this expansion adds a cool little story and unique circumstances for your citybuilding, mostly through

not worth the money. If you can get this on sale or in budel promo, go for it. Otherwise totally shamefull DLC. This is the worst of the Frostpunk DLC's.

Underwhelming. Foreign settlements can be very annoying and offer nothing of value in return (sometimes you shoot yourself in the foot by giving them anything). "3 new city structures and 7 new technologies" is a
