User Reviews
- The atmosphere is incredibly oppressive in the best way possible. If you liked games like Battle Brothers or Faster Than Light, Frostbound will scratch that tactical itch.
- A brutal but fair survival experience. The turn-based combat is snappy and requires actual thought. Seeing your squad grow and then lose someone is heartbreaking.
- Visually striking art style and a haunting soundtrack. It captures the feeling of a frozen apocalypse perfectly.
- MicroProse does it again with a solid strategy title. The roguelike elements keep me coming back for 'just one more run'.
- Excellent tactical depth. The way heat and cold mechanics integrate into the combat encounters is genius.
