About the Game



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!

This game is very fun and challenging. I've beaten the game multiple times and I'm still having fun playing it. I feel like I can usually get a build that I am happy with and when I lose it feels like I wasn't paying attention rather than feeling like I didn't get the right card or didn't have the right build.

150h for all 27 achievement. 100% Worth it. 10/10 I've played a LOT of deckbuilding roguelike and this is by far my favorite. The level of customisation you can achieve with the charms is amazing. The art style and effects are nice and the music is fun too. Ennemies can get repetitive but even after 150h I still get surprised. Plus, at higher difficulties, ennemies also haved charms that modify them.

The game is fun and addicting, but sadly also very frustrating. Every run I've lost so far I have lost based on me missing or forgetting about one interaction/modifier that is in play. In each of those situation I had a winning position and deck. In my opinion the game overloads you with too many active enemies each having their own unique modifiers. As a result you have less incentive to tactically think your way out of a battle, and instead are pushed to just make a better deck. That brings us to another aspect: during a run you only get to add a very limited amount of cards, and there is very little ability to steer where your deck ends up. Even the shops have just 4 cards available. This means that any 'crazy strong' decks you can end up with are very obvious from the get go.

Cute game design, good map/encounters, rewards, etc. However, it has a "oh you managed to make an awesome build? Well let's put one boss here that means you will instantly lose then because your build suddenly turns into an auto-suicide due to its weird mechanics." So, not recommended unfortunately.

Game is like if you took those plays you had as a kid, of smacking two figures together to indicate fighting, but made it bloodier, more rage-inducing and tactical. You will lose your mind when you realise the fact that Snowman no. 43 does 5x5 damage and kills the front guy, then your guy, then the guy behind that and finally the Leader. Good luck. Extremely punishing but extremely fun.

great rouge like game the leaders are very well made and i keep finding ones i haven't seen before and the way the game play loop works is immaculate not going to spoil it though the cards can work together in so many different ways and the progression system is really good overall one of my favorite rouge likes in my library

Wildfrost is a fantastic game through and through! It's a charming, challenging, deep and diversified rogue-like deck-building game. The rules can be customised for harder runs, there is quite a lot of meta-progression, collectables and mechanics: you won't run out of content right away... And I haven't even looked yet at the community mods! An indisputable gem that I would wholeheartedly recommend.

Don't get me wrong, it's a good game. But for full price, I wouldn't buy a game that has not received any updates in more than a year. The potential was there but they just made Mod Support and then called it a day which seems kinda lazy. I hoped a long time for a couple more factions/champions to enhance replayability but I gave up. I'm giving a bad review because at full price it is not worth it but if you can get it at 40% discount, I guess it will get you bellow the 0.50$ per hours played.
