Each individual card on the stage is part of a counter system, with both delaying and advancing them on the playing field being strategic choices. Playing with turn order and setting up synergies is a key part of how Wildfrost plays as a roguelike deck builder. BOOM! My backline leader didn't even need to lift a single finger. The first chipped away a little of its health (its job was mostly healing) but the next doubled a stacked debuff that I had set up and turned the goliath into a giant bomb, and the effect of my two cards combined was just enough to trigger it. Thankfully, three of my team members were due to act one turn before it. Its card art had become bigger, juicier, more tauntingly malevolent, and easily could have taken out any of my team with a single hit. Early on in my playthrough while I was still getting to grips with the game, I came face-to-face with a boss who got stronger when hit. Wildfrost is excellent at creating moments of triumph. Wildfrost is a captivating card battler with an art style that absolutely shines, even if it’s difficult to out-plan your luck.
