Wildfrost is a 2023 roguelike deck-building game developed by Deadpan Games and Gaziter. It was published by Chucklefish for the Nintendo Switch and Windows, and in 2024 for Android and iOS.
Gameplay
Players attempt to stop an endless winter. They recruit randomly-generated adventurers and battle monsters in turn-based card battles. Up to six allied creatures called companions and six enemies fight in each battle. Depending on where characters are placed, they can be attacked by a different member of the opposing side. Characters also do not immediately attack but must wait their turn based on an Initiative system. The game ends if a character designated as a leader dies. Otherwise, adventurers suffer a penalty upon being defeated. Players retain some equipment permanently and can retrieve these items when starting over. The game has a cartoon-like art style, with various color palettes for each class of companion.[1]
Development
Wildfrost was developed by Deadpan Games and Gaziter. It was published by Chucklefish for Nintendo Switch and Windows on April 12, 2023,[2] and is scheduled to release for Android and iOS on April 11, 2024.[3] Wildfrost was developed using the Unity engine.[4]
Reception
Wildfrost received positive reviews on Metacritic.[5][6] PC Gamer said it has a "perfect balance of accessibility and strategic depth" and praised the art style, which it said gives it "buckets of personality".[1] Though Rock Paper Shotgun said luck sometimes seems to play too much of a role, they called it "a genuinely fun game, with charming details and rewarding tactical combat".[7] Siliconera said it "suffers from some balance issues", but they said it is "a game as beautiful, cruel, and cold as its sunless environment".[8]
