Hello Wildfrost aficionados, 'tis the season!
To celebrate the holidays, we're excited to present our biggest update for Wildfrost yet. Loaded with powder-fresh features, balance adjustments, and bug fixes. This wouldn't have been possible without our dedicated beta participants opting in and giving us so much feedback to improve the game – you're our true MVPs! With that said, let's dive right in...
In an effort to balance the gameplay, we've lessened the base game difficulty by eliminating aspects like Companion Injuries. The challenge, however, returns (with a vengeance) in our all-new Storm Bell difficulty system! We’ve added 13 unique Storm Bells, each bringing forth its own set of trials; you'll face reduced enemy wave bell encounters, increased shop and Crown prices, even more charm-holding enemies, and a whole bunch of cursed crowns and charms for extra measure.
Each Storm Bell carries a point value, allowing you to handpick the level of challenge you wish to face, and to take on the True Final Boss™, you'll need to amass a certain number of points.
But wait, there’s more! Vanquishes with Storm Bells activated will now unlock glorious Gold card frames to mark your victory, as well as Chiseled frames for those normal wins. We've also rejigged the Daily Voyage, bringing in a random mix of Storm Bells for a more unpredictable challenge. And for those who have been requesting a less flashy gameplay experience, we've added an option to disable the Snow Screen transition in the settings menu.
We’ve also made a whole bunch of balances changes and mechanical updates to cards across the tribe pools for you to check out and let us know what you think.
We recommend looking over the entire changelist found on the Official Wildfrost Wiki in your own time, as it’s such an extensive update.
That’s all for the moment! Please do let us know what you think either in the comments here, the steam forums or over on Discord where you can also see what we’re up to 👀
