About
Adventure across a frozen tundra with your card deck filled with charming companions and powerful elemental items along the way, in an attempt to reclaim a world that has fallen to the Wildfrost. Only the small civilisation of Snowdwell and its survivors remain as the final stronghold against an eternal winter. Using smart strategy and card building skills to banish the Wildfrost once and for all!

Throughout the game, players will have the chance to recruit dozens of cute card companions and gift them wobbly charms to enhance their powers 💪 Return to Snowdwell after each run and rebuild the town, unlock more cards and encounter new challenges and events for an adventure that has endless replayability.

Wildfrost Features:

• A perfect mix of deckbuilding and adventure. Wildfrost lets you test your card battling skills as you fight to save the village of Snowdwell.
  
• The option to pick your 'leader' from a variety of different tribes at the beginning of each journey, each gifted with different randomised stats and skills.
  
• Plan ahead using the ‘dynamic counter system’ to exploit foes and frosty monsters’ weaknesses!
  
• Recruiting cute card companions, elemental items and equipping powerful charms to tackle each battle to collect during each encounter. The way you strategise each fight is up to you!
  
• Endless replayability with new daily challenges and runs!

Wildfrost will be available in English, Chinese (Traditional and Simplified), Japanese, and Korean for $19.99/ £16.75/ €19.50. For further localisation, we'll also be basing this on demand so the best way to let us know is either by wishlisting the game or dropping us a comment!

In the world of Wildfrost, the sun is dead, evil forces corrupt all they touch, and everywhere is blanketed in ice and snow. And yet, starting it for the first time, the thing you'll be struck by is how cute and cosy it all looks. Its card-based battles are similarly deceptive—simple rules and effects make them seem tame and straightforward at first, but before you know it you're up to your knees in brain-twisting strategy...

Wildfrost is excellent at creating moments of triumph. Early on in my playthrough while I was still getting to grips with the game, I came face-to-face with a boss who got stronger when hit. Its card art had become bigger, juicier, more tauntingly malevolent, and easily could have taken out any of my team with a single hit. Thankfully, three of my team members were due to act one turn before it. The first chipped away a little of its health (its job was mostly healing) but the next doubled a stacked debuff that I had set up and turned the goliath into a giant bomb, and the effect of my two cards combined was just enough to trigger it. BOOM! My backline leader didn't even need to lift a single finger.

Playing with turn order and setting up synergies is a key part of how Wildfrost plays as a roguelike deck builder. Each individual card on the stage is part of a counter system, with both delaying and advancing them on the playing field being strategic choices. Some actions are free, like moving your cards around the stage or withdrawing them for healing, but playing cards out of your hand or shuffling your deck will pass the turn.

Layer up with your thickest snow coat and a pack of cards because Wildfrost is coming to PC soon, on April 12th. One of the standout games we played at last year's EGX, this roguelike deckbuilder has a healthy dose of Slay The Spire about it as you venture out to defrost an eternal winter, battle baddies, and expand your card collection with elemental items stronger, cuter companions and elemental items.
