Wildfrost 9+

Played the demo, enjoyed it and can tell it’s a high quality game that invested in and took pride, it’s obvious in the artwork/visuals, the descriptions, and the storytelling. This is what separates it from other Slay the Spire - like games I’ve played. One that comes to mind is Indies’ Lies, which while it was somewhat enjoyable, the lack of quality in the descriptions, information, typos/bad translating, etc ruined it for me. This game does not have these issues.

That said, I couldn’t bring myself to purchase the full version. While it was just a demo, Just didn’t seem to have enough variability in the gameplay/strategies to justify spending $7 for the full version. At a lower price point, maybe $3-4, I probably would’ve been convinced.

First of all, this game is incredible. I was turned off by the mixed reviews at first but eventually decided to play it and it has become one of my favorite games of all time. It is so deep and tactical and it has a completely unique mechanic that makes it stand out from any other deckbuilder I’ve played (and I have played a lot of them.)

The only problem with the mobile port is that when you get a lot of cards in hand you can’t see them and they are very difficult to select. In PC you can mouse over cards to see them and select them without risk of accidentally playing them but on the mobile port you run the risk of accidentally playing a card that you were just trying to identify. It is honestly a bit of a substantial problem because each card play in this game constitutes a full turn and you really have to be deliberate about your plays.

Overall I’m willing to deal with it and just be very careful while I have a lot of cards in hand because I love the game and think it’s a natural consequence of not having a mouse in a game where there is no limit to the amount of cards you can hold in hand. It would be nice if there was a confirmation for when you play cards though so you didn’t risk throwing a run over a fat finger misplay.
