Wildfrost. Easy-to-miss indie Steam hits of 2023

Wildfrost, Chucklefish, 2023

The first thing that catches your eye when you encounter Wildfrost are great graphics, reminiscent of cartoons. But that's not all, because there's also music that's pleasant to hear and, of course, addictive gameplay. Seemingly not very revealing, but offering enough changes to bring some freshness to the genre. However, it can be a bit intimidating when it comes to the level of difficulty, but on the other hand, it rewards the ability to think strategically and ensures continuous progress.

You may notice that Deadpan Studios' work does not have the best ratings (although it's better now than right after the release) – this is probably due to the fact that the tutorial doesn't explain all the nuances of the game as well as it should, which in turn discouraged the less patient players. The game isn't perfect, of course, and it could use a few tweaks, but it's still worth checking out. You might especially like Wildfrost if you're looking for a worthy successor to Slay the Spire or Monster Train.
