Wildfrost is highly recommended, especially if you're a fan of the genre. The fun visuals will draw you in, but the addicting gameplay will keep you there. Just be prepared to die, a lot.

Один з найкращих рогаликів, що мені потрапляли. На рівні Hades, навіть більше сподобався ніж Slay The Spire. Дуже хороший баланс та комбінації стратегій, при цьому простий і дружелюбний геймдизайн. Нічого лишнього, чисте задоволення від реалізації придуманих комбо. Рідко в грі все настільки добре. 99% програшів через помилку у страегії, а не фортуну з дропами.

I picked up this game after watching it, and it did not disappoint! The game is fun and difficult, but not too difficult. You cannot rush through things, you need to stay and think for a bit. The cards and their gimmicks are fun and simple, yet powerful.

I discovered this game after it has been added to Game Pass. Just one word: AMAZING! I loved Slay The Spire, but this game might be even better.

Wildfrost takes the core ideas of the very popular card-driven genre and makes enough changes to add freshness to it. It does take some time to unlock all the town buildings and the three tribes that can provide leaders and cards. But once that happens, the game offers a wide range of tactical options and it’s fun to discover how various combinations will perform against the capable bosses. The game’s presentation also stands out, with a good level of detail and a strong connection to the theme. Wildfrost features some tough challenges but also offers a constant sense of progression. Playing a few runs every day is a great way to sharpen tactical thinking.

Overall, Wildfrost is an incredibly well-designed gameplay experience that is sure to delight. Through its dynamic attack counter system, combined with features like charms, encounters, and randomised hero stats, the gameplay feels as dynamic and challenging on the twentieth run as it does on the very first one. No matter whether you’re a complete newbie or a card game veteran, Wildfrost is sure to entice you with its beautifully hand-drawn graphics, charming soundtrack, and engaging gameplay.

Wildfrost isn’t going to distract anybody looking for a hardcore high skill play on the genre, but this quest neve presents as that. It’s a joyous and accessible twist on the roguelike deck builder that you definitely want to deal into.

Wildfrost is attractive, but on the roguelite side, the difficulty is very high, with a lack of consistency in the cards where effective compositions are far too rare.

I would recommend Wildfrost to anyone who enjoys deck-building battle games like it, but it’s probably not a great introduction for newer players to the genre.

This game is incredible. I mean it. If you had to listen to one review hear me out.I loved Slay the Spire, Monster Train, Griftlands, Faeria, Inscryption and more. These are all great games and Wildfrost is probably in the top 3. The synergy is what makes this game amazing, among many other elements. Do yourself a favor, play it and come back here and leave a review. BTW - This is my ONLY review on Metacritic.

Wildfrost is a delight in both its artistic style and its satisfying and involved moment-to-moment gameplay. The game demands some amount of learning via trial and error and asks you to carefully think through your moves, but once you get a feel for the game there is a lot of like: owing to its roguelike nature, every run is drastically different. Experimentation and creative thinking are rewarded, and playing the game is just overall a joy. If you have the patience to sit down and learn the ins and outs of wildrost, I trust that you'll really enjoy it.

Fun but frustratingly unfair, Wildfrost is currently my favourite deckbuilder roguelite, swimming in a sea of deckbuilder games that just don't work. While I find the entire idea of deckbuilders to be highly flawed, I think Wildfrost does its best with very little, and manages to be an enjoyable time even if it sometimes ends up feeling like you're just throwing your cards at a brick wall.
SummaryA deck to weather the storm Take on the elements in Wildfrost, a tactical roguelike deckbuilder! The sun has frozen over, succumbing to the Wildfrost. The town of 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 reach... Read More
