Reviews:
  • The focus here is managing your resources of wood, food, and people in order to survive each of the stages you’ll encounter as you try to stay ahead of a storm. Until you fulfill the resource requirements at each step of the way you can’t proceed, but drawing new cards from your deck will allow the storm to draw closer. This creates a tension and a strong sense of consequence to your choices. Since randomly hoping that you’ll draw the right cards isn’t much of a strategy the key is in carefully investing resources into idea cards that can, with varying degrees of effectiveness, yield other cards to help build your deck and make it more versatile. Success will bring new challenges and scenarios to the table but the core essence of the game never really changes. Much like in a real game of cards chance plays a massive role in how any given hand will play. The eventual ability to dictate more of how the deck is set up provides opportunities to try to try to extend the play further through customization but either the essence of the core game experience has an appeal to you or it doesn’t. Frost does a fairly good job of providing an opportunity to enjoy an underrepresented genre on the Switch but can’t escape its somewhat limited essence.
