Frost

Great game! I absolutely love it!

Good concept and great card building game with a few minor bugs. This is a very clever and addicting deck building game. Developer also responded very quickly to an issue I was having with the game.

Frost has the potential to be good, but it has some glaring flaws that ruin the experience. I cannot recommend buying it in its current state. From a game design standpoint, the biggest flaw is that it's a deckbuilding game that doesn't let you view the contents of your deck. The game's instructions literally say that "a primary skill is to remember resources are in your deck." While the game does provide an optional onscreen resource counter to relieve the tedious burden of tracking all your cards, this feature isn't available in most game modes. It should be available in every mode, and realistically the deck shouldn't be hidden either. Memorizing your cards isn't challenging or fun, it's annoying busywork that ruins the otherwise enjoyable strategic gameplay. From a software design standpoint, Frost is straight up buggy. It crashes on game over roughly half of the time. Taps sometimes lag or fail to register, and the visual feedback makes it difficult whether your input is lagging or has simply failed. There is also an issue with certain custom game settings that makes them effectively unplayable. If the game fixed these issues then I'd have no problem recommending it.

The game is not balanced enough and doesn't explain enough of the mechanics. Definitely not worth the current price.

The game itself is fantastic but it is too buggy to recommend. The worst of the bugs are: - No way to save a game. This is especially bad if you leave the app for long enough that the app has to restart, losing your game. - App will occasionally take a long time to respond to taps, tricking you into tapping again. This can ruin games, especially since there is no undo. - You can accidentally zoom out a card to the point of disappearing. There seems to be no way to recover from this besides restarting the game. The game is clever and interesting but about 50% of games get lost.

Astounding survival / crafting deckbuilder for solo players. Brutal at first, but you unlock more modes as your play gets better. Challenging, stylish and fair. Would love to see this as a printed game.
