Frosthaven brings Isaac Childres’s acclaimed board game into a dark-fantasy tactical RPG, with Snapshot Games adapting its successor-to-Gloomhaven experience for the digital realm. Its campaign sends players into an unforgiving northern frontier, across varied environments where progress depends on more than winning battles. Managing resources and developing an outpost are part of the broader journey, giving the adventure a strategic layer between encounters.
Combat is turn-based and built around ability cards, asking players to plan attacks, combine class strengths and keep party members alive against enemies and bosses. The six starting classes have distinct abilities and playstyles, and further classes unlock as the campaign progresses. That roster makes party composition a meaningful decision: Frosthaven emphasizes weighing risks and finding synergies rather than relying on a single approach. Outpost buildings can also be constructed and upgraded, unlocking additional features and mechanics.
The game supports both single-player and online co-op for two to four players, so its player-count context spans a solo campaign as well as coordinated sessions with friends. Difficulty options are described as accommodating different skill levels, while a tutorial introduces the basic mechanics. Together, these formats frame Frosthaven as a substantial strategy RPG shaped by deliberate tactical planning, resource management and class-based teamwork, whether its northern dangers are faced alone or in company.
