“Don't buy this game. Not because of the gameplay, but because Chucklefish has refused to pay people who worked on their games before, hiring them as unpaid interns with promises of further employment and crediting, only…”
“This game is fun, its got a lot of charm that i look for in other games, i like that it allows you to really push your units to extremes, so much so that you can make characters that one-turn entire bosses. The problem…”

“Incredible ost, amazing art, very easy to learn, good difficulty, and plenty of content for the amount paid for. 10/10 would recommend.”
“fun and super underated card roguelike. I've never played slay the spire so I cant compare, but I really like the art style and music of the game - thats what got me into it. BUT, the best part is all the combos, and…”
“Pretty, but compared to other deckbuilders I found it both frustrating and a bit dull. The cards and supported strategies are pretty basic, and while there are hints at more interesting stuff like summoning sacrificial…”

“This is a game that you play, then realize that it is PEAK. While some cards just feel better than others-I'm looking at you slapcrackers, it feels balanced and fun. What i like the most is that you know the final boss…”

“spent 20 hrs trying to beat the very deck i won with, 10/10 would struggle again.”
“This is one of the cutest, most fun 'roguelike' games I have ever played. I love Balatro, but there's something about the adorable cast, the fun modes, and the interesting combinations that keep me coming back.”

“As a Slay the Spire fan, this game flew very much under the radar for me up until very recently. I actually discovered this game on Spotify, as I was listening to the STS soundtrack and the algorithm picked up a track…”

“Soft locked myself after beating the game the 1st time due to the way they designed the play-through that follows. I understand the gimmick, but it's also a game breaking design that makes replayability annoying to the…”

“Very fun roguelike deck builder! cool mechanics and now easier mods. I would really love a slider on the main town menu because my scroll wheel is busted, but that's not really their fault.”
“it'd be nice to know what a card does before you play it, for example where a summon card will spawn”

“I like Wildfrost and I’m definitely sticking with it, but I do think it’s tough in a way that might turn a lot of people off. The game really punishes new players. You’ll probably have a ton of runs where you’re just…”

“The only negative thing I can say about Wildfrost is that there isn't more Wildfrost. I'd be all over DLC, I'd be all over a sequel, I cry, I dream, if you think this looks like your jam, it probably is. Fantastic game!”
“I remember playing the demo for Wildfrost when I was a kid, so when I saw it on sale I had to pick it up, and I’m really glad I did. Compared to other roguelike deckbuilders I’ve gotten into, this one feels way more…”
“Amazing game. Perfect for cards and computers. I had a lot of fun. I loved the music and sounds, the gameplay... the art style is also very cool. I hope they are thinking about making a new game or a big expansion. It's…”

“I have been playing Wildfrost ever since its launch. There used to be balance issues such as turn 0 infinites or practically invincible final bosses, but those have been patched out. What remains is an extremely good roguelike. Wildfrost punishes every single mistake you make.…”
— a player, Steam review · 219 hrs played“Incredibly fun roguelike deckbuilder that just oozes charm everywhere you look at. The game also has a pretty high difficulty ceiling compared to other card games (so take it into consideration if you're deciding to buy it). But I can safely say that once the intricacy of the…”
— a player, Steam review · 34 hrs played“This is a very fun Roguelite Deckbuilder with a lot of cool mechanics. You can bring a limited amout of units to each fight, who you can customize in the run with charms (the same you can do with spells). Each card can have a max of 3 Charms so you can do a lot of interesting…”
