WildFront

good card battle game

It's good enough to try, so deserves a recommendation as a free game. However, with more polish it could have been a viable commercial product. It already works rather well, but feels like it's missing something to make it really engaging.

First and foremost, the biggest plus is that it's absolutely free. So, if you try it and it isn't actually something you enjoy? No sweat, nothing lost. There isn't a whole lot to Wildfront. If you've played Slay the Spire, then you'll understand this game real quick. The summoning minions aspect is nifty and has a lot of potential, but I think there is still a good amount of design space to explore. I don't think it's going to be winning any awards, but I'm still having fun, and 10+ hours of fun for the price of free is honestly a great deal.

It's fine for free for anyone who has never tried a deck-builder before, but I ultimately turned away from it because the game doesn't seem to be optimized all that well; even a more complicated title like Slay the Spire seems to use fewer resources on my same machine.

Interesting roguelite, especially at $free!

The game doesn't save runs in progress. Every time I load the game it puts me on the far left of the board. No other game like this fails to save mid run.
