What is Wildfrost?

A single-player roguelike deckbuilder set in a world trapped in an endless winter. Each run, you choose a leader, build a deck of companions and items, pick routes, and fight turn-based battles where units attack automatically as their counters reach zero. Between runs, you expand Snowdwell to unlock cards, tribes, challenges, and events.

For you if...

  • +you enjoy difficult deckbuilders that punish tactical mistakes
  • +you like planning around unit positions and attack timers
  • +you want varied runs with persistent hub unlocks

Not for you if...

  • −you prefer forgiving card games with little run-ending pressure
  • −you dislike randomness in leaders and card choices
  • −you want multiplayer card battles

What players say

81% of 8,522 reviews are positive · 89% of 19 in the last 30 days

Players praise the tactical depth of unit positioning and attack counters, along with varied card-and-charm combinations, art, and music. Common complaints focus on a steep learning curve, unclear effect wording and resolution order, and randomness in leaders or deck-building choices. Some also dislike having to fight a powered-up version of a previous winning build.
