Wildfrost 9+

I absolutely love Wildfrost, great roguelike and endlessly entertaining! I played it on my partner’s PC and was really happy to see that it’s come to mobile so I downloaded it. Still has all the great parts of the game but something that bugs me a lot is that the placement of your cards in-game means that while dragging cards to the board, sometimes it pulls up the drag-up menu for my phone (Apple in my case) and my card lands in a random spot. Has been a thorn in my side, just lost a really good run to the menu dragging instead of the card and it ultimately cost me the run I was about to win.

First of all, this game is incredible. I was turned off by the mixed reviews at first but eventually decided to play it and it has become one of my favorite games of all time. It is so deep and tactical and it has a completely unique mechanic that makes it stand out from any other deckbuilder I’ve played (and I have played a lot of them.)

The only problem with the mobile port is that when you get a lot of cards in hand you can’t see them and they are very difficult to select. In PC you can mouse over cards to see them and select them without risk of accidentally playing them but on the mobile port you run the risk of accidentally playing a card that you were just trying to identify. It is honestly a bit of a substantial problem because each card play in this game constitutes a full turn and you really have to be deliberate about your plays.

Overall I’m willing to deal with it and just be very careful while I have a lot of cards in hand because I love the game and think it’s a natural consequence of not having a mouse in a game where there is no limit to the amount of cards you can hold in hand. It would be nice if there was a confirmation for when you play cards though so you didn’t risk throwing a run over a fat finger misplay.
