Players Like...

❤ Character Creation and Party Building

Players have full control over building an entire party of up to 6 customizable characters from scratch. This allows for a high degree of flexibility, as you can choose from a wide variety of races, classes, and class kits to assemble a party tailored to your preferred playstyle. The Enhanced Edition further expands on this by importing the class kits from the Baldur's Gate series and introducing new kits and the Barbarian class.

❤ Combat and Tactics

The combat system draws from the 2nd Edition Dungeons & Dragons ruleset, requiring careful planning and execution. Battles often feature large groups of enemies that you must strategically target, control with crowd control abilities, and coordinate your party's skills to overcome. The real-time-with-pause system lets you pause the action to queue up a sequence of commands, adding an extra layer of tactical depth.

❤ Difficulty and Challenge

The game is widely recognized as challenging, with a steep learning curve that rewards mastery of the mechanics. Difficulty levels range from "Story Mode" for newcomers to the brutally difficult "Heart of Fury" mode. Failure to properly prepare and strategize can lead to quick defeats, heightening the sense of accomplishment when you overcome the game's trials.

❤ Replayability and Customization

The robust character creation system and combat-focused gameplay contribute to exceptional replayability. With numerous race, class, and class kit combinations available, you can experiment with vastly different party compositions, leading to unique experiences and playstyles. The Enhanced Edition's inclusion of additional content, such as new items, spells, and character kits, further expands the possibilities for customization and experimentation, giving you even more reasons to revisit the frozen world.
