Deck Builder Roguelike Games

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

'Wildfrost' is a New Roguelike Game Inspired by 'Slay the Spire'

— April 13, 2023 — Tech
'Wildfrost' is a game that combines card battling and deck building with adventure and roguelike elements. The game is set in a world where the sun has frozen over and an eternal winter has taken over. The player must lead a tribe of survivors to the Sun Temple and banish the frost once and for all.

The game features a dynamic counter system that allows the player to plan ahead and strategize their moves. The player can collect and upgrade a variety of cute card companions, elemental items, and charms that enhance their powers. The player can also customize their deck with different elemental combinations and experiment with different strategies.

The game also offers endless replayability with daily runs and challenges, as well as a town-building aspect where the player can expand and develop Snowdwell, the last bastion of civilization. The game has a charming pixel art style and a catchy soundtrack that complement the gameplay.

Wildfrost is developed by Deadpan Games and Gaziter, and published by Chucklefish. The game was released on April 12, 2023 on PC and Nintendo Switch at an MSRP of $26.99 CAD, or $19.99 USD.
