Frosthaven

This is, of course, not yet complete, but seeing what has been done so far, I have no reservations about recommending this to any fan of the board game version of Frosthaven or Gloomhaven. The features released have been reliable and accurate. One warning: Frosthaven is tuned to be considerably harder than Gloomhaven, so you may want to start on a lower difficulty.

I have mixed feelings regarding both the game, and some of the other negative reviews. The UI is fine. Other complaints, I don't understand. One review cited "losing a mission to UI confusion is soul-crushing." The game autosaves literally every turn. At most, make a mistake, go back 10 minutes and play the same turn again? The game is quite hard and requires some trial and error, reloading autosaves, can be annoying. But losing a scenario to UI confusion? Skill issue. Very good, if hard, game. Still getting some game breaking hangs playing multiplayer, but if you want to play single player and enjoy a challenge/puzzle? Great game.

Game is very un-optimized, crashing and far from being ready. Wait for release and see if they fix

Yes game is bugged to hell. my brothers are stuck in a mission where i cant join because the game just immediately crashes. early access for any game is just crap. its a crap excuse to push a crazy unfinished game out for quick profit.

Like a few other reviewers, I'm a little baffled by the gripes about UI confusion, or complaints of too many clicks to complete a turn. If you like the board game, or liked Gloomhaven PC or board version, then you will love this. There is a definite learning curve - classes have a certain level where you get the card that makes your build click. If you specialize with these characters you will always do better - a jack of all trades approach leaves you master of none. I played the very early demo and was super skeptical. However, the developers have succeeded in bringing the board game to life and it plays very similarly to Gloomhaven, but with the new classes and scenarios of Frosthaven. I'm sure the product could be more polished, with things made slightly clearer, but it is definitely easy to navigate if you give it a few minutes to take it all in. I found the UI easy to navigate, which is just as well given the complexity of some of the cards! Plenty of guides and resources out there if you want to know how to best use the cards. Great game, can't wait for official release.

I've been keeping track, the null has shown up 56 times and the crit has shown up 9. This is annoying because the random is not random. Which wouldn't be a problem except I've played entire campaigns of boardgame Gloomhaven and over 30 of boardgame Frosthaven so I know what the modifier deck is suppose to feel like. Oh, but just in case that's not enough, there are the bugs. Yeah, sometimes things don't quite act the way they should. For instance, if a card has jump the tool text says that you ignore all terrain when moving. So, you'd think if you had a jump 4 you could jump 4 hexes. Not if one of them is rough terrain. Which is annoying because you've just spent the last 90 minutes clicking and clicking to confirm and clicking to confirm that you're sure you want to confirm and then you fail a scenario because you can only move 1 hex instead of the 4 you should be able to JUMP. And yes, I'm currently tilted AF, but I can only ever play one scenario at a time because pretty much the vast majority of them are tilt inducing in some way. I have never rage quit a game before like this one. And I use to play league of legends. Anyway, hopefully they'll fix the bugs, I won't know because I'm uninstalling and going to pretend this game doesn't exist and instead wait for when I can get together in person with my friends and enjoy the game in person. In person Frosthaven: awesome. Video game Frosthaven: Rage inducing.

All-time great board game, but the UI is really clunky and from my experience, losing a mission to UI confusion is soul-crushing

Great game already even if it's still early access. So much game time is offered for the price. These devs should be cited as role models for their early access roadmap and commitment to the players. If you enjoyed the boardgame Frosthaven or Gloomhaven +digital, you will love this version of Frosthaven. 3 irritating aspects of the boardgame are better in the digital version : the buildings and town attacks management, plus the annoying calendar of events. They made it quick and simple which is much appreciated for experienced players. The UI is better than Gloomhaven digital. If you're new to these games, take your time to learn the cards mechanics. It can be frustrating at first but once you get it you will stick to this game. One of the best turn based strategy there is in my opinion.
