### 4/5 — Wildfrost ❄️

*2026-08-23*

Love this. When I was younger, I used to pretend to be in wildfrost and run around fighting “monsters” and buying charms and meeting the characters and flying around in an airship. I had absolutely no idea that it was pay to play? Though yes, I was young and terrible at beating the levels so I never got past the big boss levels. Still am! I’m not hating. Just sort of confused. I wish you could put in a randomise button on the hero-picking bit because three options that you HAVE to choose between is too little (in my opinion) I love the art style. Also, collecting charms is sooo satisfying ☺️ I love it so much. Great game!

### 4/5 — LET ME RESTART!!!!

*2026-05-27, version 1.2.4*

I love this game, but in true, Rougelike fashion I wish to be able to replay it from the very, very beginning, unfortunately, they do not support this feature.

### 5/5 — An actual good game

*2026-02-27, version 1.2.4*

This game is choice, i easily have 400hours in this game. Cute, fun, challenging, and light.

### 3/5 — Decent not great

*2026-02-24*

Slay the spire wanna be mixed with monster train. 

I prefer it to monster train but it’s pretty mid. Not enough variation or interesting elements

**Developer response:** Thank you for leaving feedback and sorry to hear you didn't have the best time with Wildfrost. Please feel free to leave feedback on what else could be improved as we read every comment

### 4/5 — Great game, not optimized

*2026-02-13*

Playing on an iPhone XR does not lead to great performance. The game eats my battery and stutters often. Probably runs better on a better phone or iPad. 

That being said, the game is super fun, challenging, as it was on PC. Really recommend it if you have better hardware.

### 5/5 — Better than reviews - bearable for sure

*2026-02-10, version 1.2.4*

I thought there was totally worth the price of the game! EDIT: The reviewers who say it’s unbeatable or too hard is kind of true if you want the true ending. It took me forever to beat it 2nd time.  Feedback is requesting a way to pay to swap or remove charms. New players tip: you really just need to look at the mechanics of the game and then get lucky and focus on having at least a barrage guy and then units that scale on being attacked and getting good charms. I love games that make you feel fulfilled by playing them and this one definitely hits the spot. 
Honestly, for the price of the game, I can’t say enough good

*2026-02-02, version 1.2.4*

I thought there was totally worth the price of the game! The reviewers who say it’s unbeatable or too hard is crazy because you really just need to look at the mechanics again and focus on having at least a barrage guy and then units that scale on being attacked and getting good charms. I love games that make you feel fulfilled by playing them and this one definitely hits the spot. 
Honestly, for the price of the game, I can’t say enough good

### 2/5 — Leider nicht in Deutsch

*2026-01-28*

Ich verstehe nicht alle Texte (englisch) auf den Karten, deshalb werde ich keine 8€ bezahlen.

### 5/5 — After 80 hours my thoughts (I’ve been playing for about a year and a half)

*2026-01-01, version 1.2.4*

This has somehow become one of my favorite games of all time. I love rougelikes and found this game from my friend, I played slay the spire and this game gave me that vibe so I tried it out. The concept is simple but the gameplay and builds are so complex! 
Pros: 
-I love the gameplay loop, I’ve played so many rougelikes like BoI and Dead cells that have in depth builds, I’ve felt that even now I still find new strats. 
-the different tribes are really interesting and cool, I appreciate the fact that you don’t have to worry about being a glass canon based on the tribe 
-the cards and trinkets for upgrades and pathways are so solid, again simple but so important to choose which way to go or what card to pick up or what trinket to put something on 

Cons: 
-I didn’t mind the fact you had to pay for the game to play the full version, I don’t know if apple made it so to play the demo you can’t list it as a demo, but I saw a lot of comments getting angry about it (it’s worth the money) 
-Certain cards are only available for certain tribes, like the ink all card is the most busted card in the game in my opinion, but I can only have one tribe find it 

Final thoughts and hopes: the game is worth the money and I really hope they make a second game with more tribes and enemies and pathways. Like honestly more content would be awesome too but I think this game alone is really solid and should stay how it is. 
I also hope that for the daily runs we could see the run for the top 3 people so that players like myself who have played a lot but maybe still don’t know the meta strats can learn. 
All in all this game is a 6/5 and I highly recommend anyone pick it up if they like simple deck building games!

### 5/5 — Awesome

*2025-12-30, version 1.2.4*

This game is literally the best game ever made

### 5/5 — Favorite Deckbuilder Roguelike

*2025-12-22, version 1.2.4*

What an amazing game. Beautiful look, and even better gameplay. Such fun and unique ideas and the variety is fantastic!

### 5/5 — Brilliant sharp game

*2025-12-20*

Really enjoyable game which feels sharp, snappy and challenging. Visuals are dead cute and the gameplay is engaging, no two playthroughs the same.

### 5/5 — Bad reviews = people who don't understand demos

*2025-12-05, version 1.2.4*

This game is great. People are dumb and bombed it with negative reviews because they don't understand what a demo is. Don't listen to them. Play game. Game good.

### 3/5 — I love this game

*2025-11-11*

Im sad I have to write this review but I bought this game on my mothers account so that both of us could play the game but you seem to have purchase sharing off so that I cannot play the game myself I am quite disappointed and will change this review as soon as this is changed

### 5/5 — Fun game

*2025-11-04, version 1.2.3*

Good if you like games like Slay The Spire or Monster Train

### 5/5 — PLEASE GIVE US AN UPDATE!

*2025-11-01, version 1.2.3*

One of the best card strategy games I’ve ever played. My only issue is that I want more and new updated cards/characters. Amazing work on this one

### 5/5 — Don’t listen to any negative comments

*2025-10-19, version 1.2.3*

Epic game! Well made

### 1/5 — Save File Deleted

*2026-06-29, version 1.2.4*

No backup, no nothing, save gone

### 1/5 — 구매 복원이 되지 않습니다

*2026-06-24*

구매했다가 다시 깔았는데 복원이 안됩니다. 이전에 세이브한 파일도 보이지 않고요. 환불을 해주거나 다시 복원할 수 있게 해주세요

**Developer response:** Hello! Please ensure you are logged into the account which originally purchased the game. If this is the case, you can go to your profile > purchased > my purchases > not on this device > install. Hope this helps!

### 1/5 — I can't start the game.

*2025-12-15, version 1.2.4*

Every time I enter the main interface and enter the game, I immediately retreat, and I don't even know how to get a refund.

### 1/5 — Lying

*2025-07-31, version 1.2.3*

This app is deceiving its player base, as soon as you download the game it prompts you to buy the full game or play a demo version. What is the point of the game being in the free section if its not going to follow those guidelines

### 1/5 — 저장데이터 문제

*2025-07-09*

며칠전까지 게임을하다가 앱 삭제후 다시 다운받으니 전에 데이터가 다 날아가 처음부터 다시해야되네요 복구방법없나요

### 1/5 — errors

*2025-06-11*

so many errors, cannot go ahead in 5minutes (choose my companion? cannot choose)

**Developer response:** Hi there, are you still having this issue with the latest update (v1.2.4)? Please send us more details to support@chucklefish.org so we can investigate.

### 1/5 — Technically Legal but Truly Dishonest Marketing on IOS

*2025-05-13, version 1.2.3*

The game is advertised as free to download and play with the “full game” being listed in the “in-app purchases.” Considering most people don’t even look at the in app purchases before downloading the game (which they definitely knew), it’s very swindling. Shame since this game is awesome on Xbox and PC. Could’ve had a customer who bought it 3 times but nah, had to try and scam some kids for money. Pathetic, really.

### 1/5 — Dishonest marketplace practices

*2025-03-10, version 1.2.3*

By all means, monetize your work, but hiding the purchase price of your app within the in-app purchases so that it appears to be free in the storefront is dishonest and shameful.  If you were up front about this being a demo, I might have tried it and might have bought it if it were fun.

### 1/5 — 简中闪退….

*2025-03-04, version 1.2.3*

繁体没事，简体中文闪退hh

### 1/5 — Scam

*2025-01-23, version 1.2.3*

Let’s you play a bit then stops completely asking for money

## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated)

### 5/5 — New version!Great!I’m looking forward to new version!!!

*2026-06-24, version 1.2.4*

Please make new cards.This is very important to me!

### 5/5 — Too one sided

*2026-05-22, version 1.2.4*

It’s insanely one sided. Like you get a 3 health 2 attack thing that moves every 5 turns and every battle you have to fight 15 enemies that are 6 attack 10 health that respawn and gain attack every turn and attack every 2 turns. It’s not difficult in a fun way like STS or a souls game it’s just boring because all the things you get do nothing fun and all the enemies get to do really cool stuff.

### 5/5 — Great game

*2026-05-16, version 1.2.4*

I just need people/devs to see know great this game is it’s honestly amazing!

### 5/5 — Broke my arm this game was a life line

*2026-05-12*

Broke my dominant arm and this was the one of the few games I could play. Just wanted to thank yall for being an escape during a hard time!

**Developer response:** Sorry to hear about your arm. Hope you're on the mend!

### 5/5 — Personal Favorite Deckbuilder

*2026-05-08, version 1.2.4*

I’ve put an absurd number of hours into this game on three platforms so far. Genuinely so much fun. Perfect difficulty balance in my opinion even on all storm bells (overcranked). Metaprogression is very rewarding and the bosses are fun (although I dislike Krunker on “A20”).

Only real complaint is that if you hand size gets too large then it’s a lottery on what you select (you have to actively be trying to force it to get a large hand size though). 

My personal complaint is that I would LOVE to play and replay (where replays don’t count for the leaderboard of course) past Daily Voyages. I always do the daily voyage, it’s been a part of my daily routine for years!

### 5/5 — I love this game

*2026-04-30, version 1.2.4*

This game is amazing, it’s rare I find a game that is so good it’s hard to put down, I really like all of the characters (except for one mini boss) and it’s genuinely fun, I need this on steam so I can get mods and play more, I would be invested into a sequel if there was ever one announced, everyone did amazingly in the development, especially Paul Zimmerman with the music

### 5/5 — The Game I Can’t Stop Playing

*2026-04-24, version 1.2.4*

This is my thirst time coming back to this game. The art is fantastic, the theme is perfect, the lore is interesting, the mechanics are brilliant, and the many ways it gives you to change and adjust cards gives every run a fresh feel. I would give anything for a sequel to this or another chapter—both for the lore and for the gameplay. I’ve downloaded so many deck building games at this point, and while some are great, none have the same level of charm, whimsy, and action that Wildfrost does. There’s something magical about building a deck that triggers full level wipes. Love this. Great work.

### 5/5 — Best deck building game I’ve played

*2026-03-29*

If you miss old school hearthstone. Give this a try, addicted to the game since i downloaded it. I just completed my first run and I’m so happy! Love that you can upfront buy the game and that’s it you own it. No other micro transactions is absolutely chefs kiss. Ty devs

The tribe system is perfect too, would love to see more tribes with future updated or potentially a dlc biome?

Shadowmancer tribe is stupidly fun. Love the build variety with it and it has such a good flow where every turn makes you feel like you have done a lot.

Thank you for making this game, I was longing for old school hearthstone and this definitely fills that craving with a modern lick of paint, the visuals are gorgeous. And the mechanics system for the combat is genuinely perfection👌

**Developer response:** Great to hear you’ve enjoyed Wildfrost! We have fond memories of playing Hearthstone too <3

### 5/5 — 可愛さの奥に、しっかりとした面白さ

*2026-03-19*

まず、最初に目に入るアートワークが非常に魅力的です。
ポップで可愛らしいグラフィックで、プレイ意欲をしっかりと引き上げてくれます。

本作はデッキ構築型ローグライクにストラテジー要素を組み合わせた作品です。
盤面への配置や行動順が重要となる設計で、しっかりと考える楽しさがあります。
全体として完成度が高く、遊んでいて純粋に面白いと感じました。

チュートリアルは丁寧で分かりやすく、日本語ローカライズも問題なく快適に遊べます。

ダウンロード自体は無料ですが、内容としては体験版に近く、フルゲームのアンロックには別途料金が必要です。
フル版は1100円（執筆時）ですが、内容を踏まえれば十分に満足できる価格です。

1プレイあたりの時間はやや長めなので、時間に余裕があるときにじっくり遊ぶのがおすすめです。
デッキ構築や戦略ゲームが好きな人には、ぜひ触れてみてほしい作品です。

**Developer response:** 💙

### 5/5 — Richtig gutes Spiel
