About Toward The Ice
It was just another day for the princess, hunting for food alone in the wilderness. What she didn't know is that her younger brother the prince had secretly followed her. She only realized this when she heard his screams as he was being carried off by a band of trolls.
They were too strong for her, and she had to watch helplessly from a distance as he was taken to their cave in the mountains via a winding route through the Dwarven lands. She was able to track them, but she needs your help to defeat the beasts and bring him back safely. It's only a matter of time before they eat him, so time is of the essence. Can you be the heroes that she needs?
Toward The Ice is a classic first-person party-based dungeon crawler RPG with grid-based movement, turn-based combat, and random encounters. It can be described as a gridder, blobber, and an open world DRPG where you navigate zones fighting monsters, avoiding or disarming traps, finding treasure, and completing quests to reach the next area.
Build your party of six from any combination of characters from the ten classes including the new Valkyrie, Skald, Berserker, and Runecaller, or start with a pregenerated group if you're in a hurry to begin your adventure. Explore more than a dozen maps, gathering items and equipment along the way and learning about the strengths and weaknesses of the monsters you will fight.
Features an original soundtrack of MIDI-style music by Bloodless Mushroom.
Toward The Ice is a standalone sequel to Into The Inferno, Navigating The Labyrinth, and Crossing The Sands and you do not need to play the previous games to enjoy this one completely.

✦ AI summary
Players praise this old-school RPG for its nostalgic appeal, new races and classes, and improved graphics that will resonate with fans of classic titles like The Bard's Tale. However, the game suffers from significant complaints about poor onboarding and an overwhelming number of bugs that make it feel unfinished, with some players disappointed that the developer prioritizes quantity of releases over quality and refinement of individual titles.
Ok, I want to be fair. I will gladly change this review but first impressions are important. Feedback to the developer: You placed the person in a 22x22 square island (surrounded by darkness below a skybox but literally nothing)...no greeting...no indication of where to go. I have been playing games since the early 1980s...that is hundreds upon hundreds of RPGs...this has to be among the worst introductions to a game and introductory zones I have seen. Once I figure out how to actually start the game (if it doesn't exceed 2 hours or im returning it) if it improves I am open to changing my review but so far...NOT a good first impression.22 found this helpful
[quote] Love RPG? [url=https://store.steampowered.com/curator/39973073/]Make sure to Follow my Curator Page[/url][/quote]This game will appeal to true fans of old-school games. Ask yourself: do you like The Bard's Tale Trilogy? If the answer is yes, then this adventure will be right up your alley. Personally, I am pleasantly surprised, the world has become more beautiful, 4 new non-human races have been added (yes, now you can play as a Kobold or a Gnoll), as well as 3 new classes. The very concept of a world divided into islands is very refreshing. But overall, you'll experience an old-school adventure with turn-based combat (which has also been slightly improved). GOOD: ✔️New races and classes ✔️A more beautiful world ✔️The ability to infuse runes into equipment ✔️Great old school atmosphere ✔️The game doesn’t hold your hand BAD: ❌Food takes up a lot of inventory space ❌Rest needs to be sped up ❌It's time to move away from the concept of paid healers and mana regeneration (resting at an inn would be enough) ✔️10/10 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AsLPc-IZcwA [quote] And don't forget to [url=https://www.youtube.com/c/WizardWorm?sub_confirmation=1] Subscribe to my Youtube [/url…11 found this helpful
Simple game to play. Scratches the itch. Developer is active. You can't ask for much more than that.10 found this helpful
I like the game and the series. There are improvements over the last, but not much. The real issue? The game is swarming with bugs! Doesn't feel completed; doesn't feel like a beta; feels like it is in alpha. If it were working correctly then it would be a solid second rate dungeon crawler. Unfortunately, the developer has been so fixated on producing as MANY of these games as quickly as possible (this is clone # 4) that one potentially great game never was.9 found this helpful
