- Strategy, Turn-based strategy (TBS), Adventure, Card & Board Game
Frost is a Survival solo Card game. Inspired by deck-building board games like Dominion, Ascension and the like, it's an unique take on the genre as it puts you in charge of a group of people struggling against a restless, lethal storm.

GamePittJul 20189/10Frost is a turn-based card game in which each draw of the cards could literally be life or death for your character. As with any strategic game, I would highly recommend you choose to go through the tutorial and take in everything it says before-hand, otherwise your enjoyment will be severely affected. Overall though, Frost offered me a challenge which you don't see very often on the Switch and it kept me hooked for hours upon hours as I furiously played the game to try and make it through alive! If you have a Switch (or any other console as it's on them all) and you like survival games but you want something different and something which isn't about Zombies, pick up Frost today.

GamingTrendShaun WoernerJul 201880/100Frost takes the deck-building and survival genres and mashes them together to create a truly challenging and strategic game. At times the game can feel unforgiving and overly hard, but requires players to actually think about their next move rather than rushing through a turn. The art style is beautiful ,and paired with an erie soundtrack creates an unsettling and true survival feeling.

PS3Blog.netAug 201880/100Frost is a minimalist deck-building card survival game on Nintendo Switch that I highly recommend that you play on Nintendo Switch. Its gameplay mechanics are easy to understand but hard to master, and I'm sure you're going to love your time with this indie release from Studio Tenebres, Stage Clear Studios and Digerati.

NintendoWorldReportDavid LloydJul 20187/10The biggest draw for me was the challenge of figuring out the best strategy for survival. After that first successful journey my interest suffered frostbite until it succumbed to hypothermia only a few hours after that. I'd still recommend playing it but just like trying to play pond hockey on a negative forty day, it probably can only last a few hours.

Digitally DownloadedMatt SainsburyJul 20183.5/5 starsFrost is mechanically sound and has all the hallmarks of a truly great single player card game. Sadly, its inability to take the concept and really drive home something impactful leaves it feeling a little shallow and limited in the end; a missed opportunity for something so gorgeous and refined.
