A combination of a roguelike and a card game. Wildfrost tasks us with saving a world frozen over by a cataclysmic disaster. To do so, we must traverse the realm and fight enemies in turn-based battles.
Wildfrost is a combination of a roguelike and a card game. It was developed by two indie studios - Deadpan Games (founded by Will Lewis, the developers of Caveblazers) and Gaziter (the developers of Forager). The game was published by Chucklefish.
Wildfrost is set in a fantasy world overrun by the titular Wildfrost. The last resisting bastion of the old order is the settlement of Snowdwell. The playable character is the leader of its inhabiting tribe, setting out on a journey to reach the Sun Temple, defeat the Frost Guardian and disperse the cataclysm.
Wildfrost begins with choosing a tribe and its leader. The available leaders vary in terms of skills and stats. Afterwards, the game proper begins. The player sees the road ahead, as well as upcoming locations and events, on an easily understandable map. The game's world is procedurally generated, making each expedition slightly different. The fun doesn't end even after completing our main task, as there are still daily quests and challenges to undertake.
Combat is the most important part of the game. Battles are turn-based, tasking us with playing unit cards, attack cards or effect cards (the effects vary from buffing our deck to neutralizing the next enemy attack). Cards are played automatically, therefore to succeed we must arrange our deck in a way that increases our chances of victory. In addition, each card has a timer that counts down until when it will be used again.
Progressing through the game lets us expand our deck (for example, by freeing frozen creatures and having them join us) and upgrading already owned cards to face greater challenges. Between expeditions we can also spend time in Snowdwell, developing the settlement. New buildings are a worthwhile investment, as they unlock useful upgrades, cosmetics and bonus challenges.
Wildfrost makes use of a colorful, cartoonish artstyle.

GameSpew: 8 / 10 by Kim Snaith
With a fantastic art style that immediately charms you, and engaging gameplay that will keep you coming back time and time again, we love Wildfrost. It’s a very welcome entry into the roguelike card battler genre, offering challenging but fulfilling combat that we can’t get enough of. If you’re a fan of games like Slay the Spire, we urge you to try Wildfrost. You won’t be disappointed.
Switchaboo: 7 / 10
Wildfrost is not for everybody. The deckbuilding genre is already a niche market, but I’m afraid that the game’s difficulty will shoo away even more potential players. It’s a shame really because the game clearly has a lot of love put into it with its charming art style and clever combat systems. I personally will continue to come back to Wildfrost to climb the mountain that this game has challenged me with, but I personally wouldn’t blame someone for being turned off by it. In this sense, I can at least say that the game is affordable, so trying it won’t break the bank.
Gamepur: 8 / 10 by Zack Palm
It’s a game with charm, gorgeous art, and soothing music, making jumping into the action extremely enjoyable. The strategy becomes even more delightful when you dive into it, slowly peeling back seemingly simple layers to show a more complex nature underneath it. A lot is going on in Wildfrost, but it never overwhelms you, and it’s easy to find yourself lost in it for hours as you carve the path forward for your tribe.
