About Wildfrost
✦ AI summary
Build a unique deck of adorable card companions and magical items across roguelike runs, strategically managing a turn-based counter system where every card attacks on its own timer. Unlock new tribes, cards, and town upgrades as you progress toward defeating the eternal Wildfrost, with infinite replayability through daily challenges and ever-changing runs.
The sun has frozen over...
The world has succumbed to the Wildfrost. Now only 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 banish the frost once and for all! Perfect your card battling and deck-building skills, and set out on a quest to bring an end to The Wildfrost! Begin each journey with your chosen tribe Leader, each gifted with different randomised skills and stats, before mapping out your chosen path into the unforgiving frosty landscape. Rescue and recruit frozen companions you find along the way, unearth lost treasures, and spend your hard-earned blings with travelling merchants. The decisions you make and routes you take during each run will help craft a powerful deck, unique to you each time you play. Collect a huge array of cute, but mighty card companions, as well as handy items and clunker cards to aid you in battle. Experiment with different elemental card combinations to find your winning formula.Your companion cards aren’t just disposable minions for dealing out damage; upgrade and customise your favourites by adding wobbly charms to enhance their powers, making your deck a powerful (and adorable) force to be reckoned with!Plan ahead with the help of a dynamic counter system to map out your next move and fend off frosty foes. While Wildfrost battles are turn-based, cards don’t attack every turn. Instead they have a ‘counter’ which counts down the amount of turns until they’re ready to automatically make their move!
By keeping an eye on enemy monsters’ counters, you can plot ahead your perfect play. Buff your companions? Stall an enemy attack? Or maybe count down your own timer to wreak havoc fast! It’s up to you to strategically turn the tide in your favour. Need a rest? Take shelter in the cosy town of Snowdwell. Here survivors have gathered to keep warm using the power of the Luminice, a giant shard of hot ice.
As you progress after each run you’ll be able to return and gradually help expand the hub town itself, constructing buildings such as a Pet Shop, Inventors Hut and more! These new areas will unlock fun and useful new things to use during your adventures, with new cards, tribes, cosmetics, challenges to complete, and events to encounter.
Think you’ve defeated the Frost Guardian? Even after you’ve beaten back the frost, Wildfrost offers endless replayability, with daily runs and challenges! Test your skills and improve your score!

S-tier game !2 found this helpful
It's just okay. A lot of potential but it all basically comes down to doing as much frost as you can and that's the whole game. Unlike most deckbuilding roguelikes that have several ways to approach the game.
Wildfrost is probably the easiest game of its genre to understand. It's a good thing that part's easy, because completing a run will prove to be a difficult endeavor, requiring your complete attention at some points. The difficulty modifier bells give the player many options for how they want to tackle their challenges and the artstyle and music make the game exceed your expectations.
If you’re looking at reviews for this game I already know one question on your mind. The answer: It’s not Slay the Spire (nothing is). But it’s not a lesser-than clone either and actually its own thing with interesting mechanics, nice music and a good flow. Runs perfectly on Steam Deck too. I don’t think I’ll be playing this for 100 hours, but it’s definitely scratching the one more turn itch. And that is the biggest compliment you can give to a card battler roguelike.

One of my favorite roguelike deckbuilder.
