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 deck-building skills to banish the Wildfrost once and for all!

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.

Hey folks! We're excited to let you know that the Wildfrost demo is back for a limited time as part of a very special The Game Awards demo event. Big thanks to Geoff Keighley & TGA team for inviting us! ❄

If you’ve played Wildfrost before in the October Steam Next Fest or at an event, you’ll notice we’ve introduced quality of life fixes, mechanical tweaks and balance changes based on community feedback and beta testing. We'd love to get your thoughts on these changes.

If this is your first time playing, we recommend joining the Discord where you’ll find a super helpful and friendly community who love to chat about all-things Wildfrost. (Just don’t get suckered in the Cult of the Gnome).

The demo will be playable in English, Japanese, Korean, Simplified Chinese and Traditional Chinese.

What’s in the demo?

• Test out the Snowdweller Tribe and their associated cards ❄️
  
• 4 battles per run with 1 boss and 7 possible mini bosses
  
• 4 playable Pets to join your Leader
  
• 23 Companions to collect
  
• 45 Items & Clunkers to experiment with

The final game will have plenty more to get to grips with, including additional Tribes to master, with 50+ Companions, 70+ Item cards and 20+ Clunker cards to fill your decks with. Fight your way through 5+ boss monsters, 15+ mini-bosses, and a special final boss that will be different each time you play! You’ll also be able to further develop the town of Snowdwell with content unlocks as you spend more time on your adventure, ready to take on the rest of the boss monsters lying in wait for the final challenge at the Sun Temple!

Where can I post my feedback? Please share your demo feedback in this forum thread!

Enjoy Wildfrost ❄️

Hey everybody,

First of all we would like to give a huge thank you to everyone who downloaded, played, streamed, and shared their feedback for Wildfrost’s Steam Next Fest demo! The support from players has been so incredible, and we’re working on making the game the coolest it can be for launch.

Until then, we wanted to let you know what we’ve been working on since, and how your feedback has helped shape the game:

Sneak peek at a snobun

[h3]Hard Mode?[/h3]
We recognise that the demo difficulty wasn’t for everyone, so we’ve taken it down a notch for people who want to enjoy their time frolicking up the mountains, and we will be adding challenge modes for those of you looking for interesting ways to make things more s̾p̾i̾c̾y̾.

[h3]The Woolly Snail Shop[/h3]
Lots of players pointed out that they had accidentally purchased the crown when attempting to inspect it. This is now changed, so you should be able to view items in the shop without spending your hard-earned blings!

[h3]Snow Immunity Changes[/h3]
Snow immunity is now snow resistance. Bosses and minibosses will no longer be completely immune to snow, but instead they’ll have a 1-turn resistance timer meaning that multipliers of snow do not work, but you can still snow them.



[h3]Daily Runs[/h3]
Exactly what it says on the tin; we’ve introduced a fixed set of cards and enemies for everyone to tackle. A new challenge every day will be available every day for you to battle your way up those leaderboards.

[h3]Player statistics[/h3]
Player stats coming!

[h3]More Map Events [/h3]
In addition to the Treasure Chests, Blingsnail Caves, The Woolly Snail shop, frozen travellers and charm gashapons you came across in the demo version, you’ll also find more treasure and quirky strangers with too-good-to-refuse offers along the route in the full game!

[h3]Boss Rewards[/h3]
After each boss battle you’ll get to pick from an array of perks such as +1 companion on the field or -1 to the redraw bell counter, to bolster your deck and increase your chances of taking down the enemies that await.

[h3]Release Window[/h3]
We’re still implementing, balance testing and playing with new features, new cards and more fun ways to play, so please bear with us as we make these tweaks ready for launch.
With that being said, we want to update everybody to let you know that we’ve made the decision to push the release to early 2023 (still Winter!) so that we can bring you these new features. Our goal is always to make the coolest game we can, and we’ve been able to make the next steps towards that goal thanks to everyone who gave feedback.

[h3]Now for some fun stats! [/h3]

• The most popular companion pick was Big Berry, however Naked Gnome gets a special mention as over 85% of you kept him around after sparing him
  
• The least popular companion pick was Blunky
• whomp whomp*. Maybe some of you will adopt him in the full game
  
• The most popular clunker by a large margin was the Mobile Campfire - not just picked the most, but also had the highest win rate
  
• Players found the Spice Monkeys the most difficult to overcome and the Snowbos the easiest to defeat
  

Check out this fun fella

That about wraps it up! If you enjoyed the demo, and want to find out more about Wildfrost before launch, come chat to us on Twitter or on the official Discord! There you’ll find teasers for new card designs, can see what we’re are working on, and chat about cheese 🧀. Finally, be sure to wishlist the game for a notification when the full game drops.

Stay frosty!

Wildfrost, a strategy card game from indie publisher Chucklefish, somehow escalates from beginner-friendly to unforgiving within minutes. I never had a Hearthstone or Magic the Gathering phase, but it’s hard for me to believe that even a seasoned pro could plow through these piles of abominable snowmen and witches with ease...

Thank you to everyone who has played Wildfrost so far! (And well done to those who took on King Moko and lived to tell the tale!)

Due to the overwhelming positive feedback from the Steam Next Fest demo event, we’ve decided to extend the demo for another 48hrs after Steam Next Fest ends.

This means you’ll have an extra 48hrs to download and play the Wildfrost demo before it’s removed on Wednesday 12th October at 6pm BST / 10am PDT / 1pm EDT.

We’re always looking for feedback to make Wildfrost even better, so please share your thoughts in the Steam forum thread.
