Exciting news for Switch fans of the tactical roguelike deckbuilder <a href="https://whatoplay.com/games/wildfrost/">Wildfrost</a>.

The physical edition of the hit 2023 game for Nintendo Switch is coming soon. Publisher Super Rare Games announced that they will roll out the physical copies on September 12.

To do so, they must build a powerful deck of card companions and elemental items. Not only to combat the encroaching frost but also to banish it once and for all.

Players assemble a team of randomly generated adventurers and engage in turn-based card battles against enemies.

Aside from the combination of <a href="https://whatoplay.com/switch/best/roguelike/">roguelike</a> and deckbuilding elements, Wildfrost also features a vibrant cartoon art style.

Upon its release, the game received generally positive feedback from critics and gamers. Some critics like UK-based gaming magazine Rock Paper Shotgun, however, pointed out that 'luck sometimes seems to play too much of role.'

"(But it was still) a genuinely fun game, with charming details and rewarding tactical combat," portions of their review stated.

On whatoplay, Wildfrost receiveed a playscore of 8.6 on PC.

Due to its commercial success, the game also expanded to mobile devices. <a href="https://whatoplay.com/post/wildfrost-android-ios-announcement/">The mobile version of Wildfrost released</a> last April 2024.
