This game is absolutley one of those, "I know exactly what to do until I'm playing," games. As evidenced when RT played the last two runs and everyone in chat knew what to do, but when I (a chat member) played the demo the next day I was making equally stupid plays.
@@Red_Steampunker I can already see someone making a video about Yuki's snowball growing so big it actually obscures the screen when the game is released.
I really love how Yuki's snowball gets visibly bigger as she gets more powerful. Paying attention to little details like that can really take a game from being ok to being awesome fun to play.
Apparently the publisher mentioned in a stream that if you're 1 off from the amount of gold you need when buying an item and INCESSANTLY click said item, the shopkeep is gonna relent and give it to you
@@HazeEmrysuch a hyper specific situation that youd only find yourself in in like 1 run in your life when you just REALLLLY want 1 specific card that you happen to barely be short on money for😭i love it
@@Sakura2596i think the artist may be different but they clearly know adventure time, you can see the finn sword in the shop along with other references
My steam library grows with each indie game you play, thank you for showing me a great variety of games to try out and helping me figure out which genre of games I adore.
I'm happy that my twitch chat of Croonk "Oh yeah it's all coming together" at 25:26 got read by RT live during the stream and Included in the highlights. Love your work RT and it helps me get through my day to day while I fight my depression and voices in my head. Stay classy and always support you.
This actually looks really good. One of my only complaints with Slay the Spire is that, aesthetically, it’s... passable *at best,* so it’s nice to see a deck building roguelike with a lot more care put into its presentation.
They put a lot of care into the art for spire, I'm unsure what you're on about. Think you just stylistically dislike it or something. Personally prefer it to this game's shiny sheen and cartoon artstyle. This artstyle is 100% not "passable at best" though.
There are a lot of other roguelike deck builders that are really cool out there. Someone mentioned monster train but another one is Night of the full moon
I was in the mood for a new rougelike card game thing, and this /really/ caught my interest! Checked the demo out after this video and I'm so dang glad it runs well on switch. Excited for this to release in a couple days!
Saw this game on the Nintendo channel recently, looked cool but probably wasn't gonna get it, but I'm glad RT is doing a playthrough because he may change my mind! (He was the reason I bought slay the spire which I now have 200+ hours in)
This game looks so adorable so far! All the little effects and sound cues are so satisfying. Ive never heard of the game before now, but I'll put it on the list!
This game seems so well polished! It's got an adorable clear art style, good base mechanics, and great detail on the small stuff like resistance not being complete immunity, card balance, etc. Definitely buying this when it comes out.
If you can get an upgrade for the town or something like that, that enables a card reward skip i believe this would make this game even better. At least from my perspective. But either way this game looks really cool! Can´t wait to play it when its released
would LOVE to see more of this game, it's really cute and looks super fun!! im usually not one for card games like this but i might just put this one on my wishlist!
So I absolutely love this game so far, even more than your Hearthstone vids (which is surprising because your shenanigans in those are actually some of my favorites you’ve ever done) and I’m positively dying to see more of this on the channel. I do hope you keep playing this every once in awhile after launch ❤️❤️❤️
I'm super excited for this game. This game is similiar to a game idea I have, but the way they implement the roguelite elements here is just so good. The charms are amazing.
This game looks soo good, I love how adorable and well made the art is. I love deckbuilders and can't wait to play this one when it comes out. Also love you RT, your videos always make me happy.
I played the demo a while back and enjoyed it, though was hoping for some more variety. With all the new cards and some changes it seems like it’s terrific, can’t wait to get it!
Fun fact - Ice Dice has since been changed and now always hits one ally and one enemy, and with the new way enemy waves work it's not too difficult to avoid hitting an enemy with it, ;)
This video introduced me to Wildfrost and god I love this game! I am really looking forward to more updates to the game, especially more content as it holds a _warm_ place in my heart :D
This video inspired me to try Wildfrost and honestly I’m glad it did. It’s pretty fun. I just won on my 3rd run after getting a broken combo of a multi attacking hero (whose cooldown I reduced with a sun charm and damage I raised with another charm), a robot with a hammer that attacks every time an ally in the row attacks (which I gave a charm to that caused it to attack twice instead), and a Mobile Campfire. They mowed through everything in their path. Krunker especially got annihilated. Died after like 2 attack cycles, including its second phase. Yuki was also there, and while she wasn’t the main win condition, she still helped a lot. I also had Kernel with 20 HP, so he could tank a lot and give tons of Shell. (I really want to call Shell “Block” because of Slay the Spire but Block is a different effect in this more akin to STS’s Buffer.)
This looks like a lot of fun! I've been following one of the artists that worked on this game for a long time and I'm glad that it looks as fun as the art is nice. Thanks for the vid, I'll probably be picking this up now!
32:00 reading is not a strong suit of gamers, it seems, holy shit. The tooltip literally says reactions and not a single person i've found yet has caught on immediately, despite this being one of the most clear mechanics that it tells you but doesn't handhold you through.
This game looks like its REALLY well balanced. The power scaling with combos is really hard to account for but it seems like the bosses are tuned for being this overpowered. It both feels like it would be a challenge while also feeling like it's easy, which is an indication of a good roguelike card game system. Bravo. I will definitely be picking this up.
What a gorgeous game, I can't express how much I appreciate the art style INFORMING the game mechanics and visa versa. Those charms are a perfect example. They don't just "slot" or "attach". That would be representative of a mechanical art style at best, or a very aggressively lazy one that didnt mean anything and just visually represented game code interacting. Instead the charms kind jangle,and they tie up together when more than one is applied. That's what games are about. Giving a very firm but polite middle finger to EVERYTHING that isn't exactly what the dev's vision percieved. Looking just as unique as the human beings who concocted it
I KNEW ABOUT CHARMS STACKING!!!!!! I played the HELL out of the demo of this game because it just HOOKED me so well, and I remember putting multiple charms on the same card! I think the first time I did it I was disappointed because I regretted having the first charm, so it didn't go so well, hahaha. But yeah, I actually remembered this specifically because I remember how the charms hang as a group. It's the littlest design details (like Yuki's snowball!) that can be so memorable! I LOVE this game!
Back when i played the demo of this during a steam next fest something like a year ago i just kept my pc running for several days in a row after the end of the next fest so i could keep playing it to completion. That's how youtubing good this game is.
I loved watching you play this game so much!! The game's art is so adorable, but I loved watching you try out weird strategies (like soulbound) but somehow get to crazy good strategies! I'd absolutely watch more playthroughs of wildfrost if you feel like it
From what I can see, this game is all about deck dynamics, combo stacking, and how well your attention span is. Especially concerning the sacrifice summoner deck because it can be extremely powerful in the right hands but you need exceptional planning to pull that off correctly.

cool!
Rt, I'm going to purchase this game, thank you for the informative not-sponsorship
“Bad north” next?
I want it so bad! I wish it was out now!
Is there any chance that we'll get to see more of this flawless masterpiece with no flaws?

So what you're saying is there needs to be co-op.
@@youtubeuniversity3638 Imagine trying to play a sacrifice deck in co-op
its that kind of game where its fun to try stupid and seemingly "what if i do this and that will it go boom?" runs
I felt that when i saw RT play Slay the Spire and thought i could beat it quickly after seeing some of his runs
me with civ 6
I love that Yuki gets a bigger and bigger snowball the more damage they deal.
Top tier design
Takes a lot of muscle to lift a snowball multiple times your size
At one point I thought "Yuki? you okay under there?"
2 feet of PURE MUSCLE
The snowball effect in all its glory
After a certain point, that's not a snowball, that's a spirit bomb.
The fact Yuki is literally holding a giant snowball and her mechanics is that she snowballs hard, is very cute.
And her name is literally 'Snow' in Japanese.
And the best part is the snowball gets bigger as it goes on. I’d love to see how big it can get.

Are you liking the friends and foes update?

Who's your favorite new companion? Mine is definitely nova (she's so broken lmao)
The art in the game is super pretty! It was a delight to watch the video ♡
Adorable and stylized arts styles are always a treat to have in games like this
Looks a lot like Adventure time or Bravest Warrior art style. I wonder if the game has been worked on by the same artist?
@@Sakura2596 I was thinking the same thing!
@@Sakura2596 Nope, the artist is Gaziter. I've been a big fan of his art for a long time, I highly recommend checking it out!

I loved watching the sheer terror in the chat after it was revealed God-Emperor Yuki became a boss
I just realized Yuki has literal snowball potential. This game is amazing
Blew my fuckin mind
Snoffle plus yuki. Plus the snow cake card. Plus other sources of snow balls. Ez snowball wins
Thank you RT for having a wide variety of games you play - they're all entertaining to watch
I love the music in this game, it's so charming. And the upgrade system with the charms is so neat
The soundtrack is amazing, I wish it was on YT
@@dothmotherknowyouwearthit's on Spotify if that helps

I love how Rt is just following the memes when choosing cards
"The spice must flow"
"It's all coming together now"
And it worked.
@@galaxycat9966 I love how this game rewards you when you do the "for the funny" type of decks
Wow. This is so cool, I got chills from all the sick gameplay
Genuinely the samefeeling here, I think I might splurge day 1

Legend
yuki is a monster. preordered this game because of these streams, super excited for the release!
Same here! Stream sold me on the game, even playing the demo now.
They really nailed the artstyle! Reminds me of the adventure time card game too!
It really did remind me of Adventure Time, glad I'm not the only one.
this game was on my wishlist for a while i cant wait to play it!
I already love this aesthetic and this type of game is right up my alley. Adding this to my wishlist for sure.
I adore how Yuki's snowball can be so big that she is the snowball
The music for this game is phenomenal, in a previous stream someone even shared an image with the made up instrument art for the music lol
This actually looks really good. One of my only complaints with Slay the Spire is that, aesthetically, it’s... passable *at best,* so it’s nice to see a deck building roguelike with a lot more care put into its presentation.
I also think this game looks good, but hard disagree on Slay the Spire looking just "passable."
They put a lot of care into the art for spire, I'm unsure what you're on about. Think you just stylistically dislike it or something. Personally prefer it to this game's shiny sheen and cartoon artstyle. This artstyle is 100% not "passable at best" though.

@@aaajeear8654 Its defo a preference, but Despite me loving the game, I also strongly dislike the art :D so its FAIR

i'm so glad they swapped around the effects for the soulbound skulls so that they choose a random enemy
Saw this game on the Nintendo channel recently, looked cool but probably wasn't gonna get it, but I'm glad RT is doing a playthrough because he may change my mind! (He was the reason I bought slay the spire which I now have 200+ hours in)

*"He who controls the spice, controls the universe" ~ RTGames*
Thats true
Yuki has a lot of bloodlust for such a small, cute child...
All of the cards sound like names from those ProZD card game skits and I love that.
Just from looking at it from your stream, this game oozes with charm.
If you can get an upgrade for the town or something like that, that enables a card reward skip i believe this would make this game even better. At least from my perspective.
But either way this game looks really cool! Can´t wait to play it when its released
For what it's worth the muncher (aka card remover) on the map is free and does up to two cards. A skip would be better but it's not terrible.
In case you haven't kept up with the game, they did add the option to skip card rewards!
I watched the 4 hour vod and loved it, I wanna see more of this game it's amazing
would LOVE to see more of this game, it's really cute and looks super fun!! im usually not one for card games like this but i might just put this one on my wishlist!

1 year later. It's insane how broken some of the bosses were back then.

Fun fact - Ice Dice has since been changed and now always hits one ally and one enemy, and with the new way enemy waves work it's not too difficult to avoid hitting an enemy with it, ;)
Every time RT plays a card game I feel the urge to also get it even knowing I suck at card games. The power…
This does look really fun though

So many little creatures that are just… baby. Like snoof. I love snoof.
If anything hurts snoof I will burn down a recycling plant
I’m not happy with Dan but at least snoof is still alive.

Yay snoof lived through everything
Massive adventure time vibes from this game and I love it
I think they should include an indicator that shows where your guy will move when a shadow copy is made. As that seemed unclear
This game looks pretty interesting and fun. The art is cute as well
You know RTGame? They called him “the Snowdrift King” back in college.
I hate how long it took me to get that Yuki was literally 'Snowballing'
People. Are praising the art style which is well deserved but I really like the music. Surprised no one else has made mention of it.
