About the Game

The sun has frozen over...

The world has succumbed to the Wildfrost. Now only Snowdwell and its survivors stand as the last bastion against an eternal winter... Build up a deck of powerful card companions and elemental items, as you battle to banish the frost once and for all!

Perfect your card battling and deck-building skills, and set out on a quest to bring an end to The Wildfrost! Begin each journey with your chosen tribe Leader, each gifted with different randomised skills and stats, before mapping out your chosen path into the unforgiving frosty landscape.

Rescue and recruit frozen companions you find along the way, unearth lost treasures, and spend your hard-earned blings with travelling merchants. The decisions you make and routes you take during each run will help craft a powerful deck, unique to you each time you play.

Collect a huge array of cute, but mighty card companions, as well as handy items and clunker cards to aid you in battle. Experiment with different elemental card combinations to find your winning formula.

Your companion cards aren’t just disposable minions for dealing out damage; upgrade and customise your favourites by adding wobbly charms to enhance their powers, making your deck a powerful (and adorable) force to be reckoned with!

Plan ahead with the help of a dynamic counter system to map out your next move and fend off frosty foes. While Wildfrost battles are turn-based, cards don’t attack every turn. Instead they have a ‘counter’ which counts down the amount of turns until they’re ready to automatically make their move!

By keeping an eye on enemy monsters’ counters, you can plot ahead your perfect play. Buff your companions? Stall an enemy attack? Or maybe count down your own timer to wreak havoc fast! It’s up to you to strategically turn the tide in your favour.

Need a rest? Take shelter in the cosy town of Snowdwell. Here survivors have gathered to keep warm using the power of the Luminice, a giant shard of hot ice.

As you progress after each run you’ll be able to return and gradually help expand the hub town itself, constructing buildings such as a Pet Shop, Inventors Hut and more! These new areas will unlock fun and useful new things to use during your adventures, with new cards, tribes, cosmetics, challenges to complete, and events to encounter.

Think you’ve defeated the Frost Guardian? Even after you’ve beaten back the frost, Wildfrost offers endless replayability, with daily runs and challenges! Test your skills and improve your score!

The incredible level of visual polish kept me going for a bit, but mechanically it feels like it's missing something. Losses feel unfair more often than not as you get bad rolls on characters and enemy types. Sometimes

I just facepalmed so hard, because i didn't know that Smackback works indefinitely when both cards have it. Don't put in on your leader and let him fistfight to death. Lesson learned! 10/10 can recommend!

It's a very visually polished game. They clearly put thought into the mechanics and accessibility options. But there's one major flaw that's core to the game's design. The commander card is your lose condition. There

This is now my second favorite deckbuilder after Slay the Spire. The progression system adds some really interesting twists to what persists between runs, and it kept me hooked the whole way through. I couldn’t put it

Other than Slay the Spire, I run sort of hot and cold on deck builders. Most are not really my style, but this one very much is. I was initially put off by the art style, but there's a *deep* game in here and a blast to
