On November 17, 2022, there was an Early Access release of Frozen Flame, a survival RPG with co-op and building elements, on Steam. The game combines various gameplay elements reminiscent of well-known titles.
What is Frozen Flame about? The setting is Arcana, a land that was once ruled by dragons. However, there was a curse that plagued the land, and since then, the world has been dying. The Faceless brings destruction upon the world and threatens to freeze Arcana in eternal ice.
You must equip yourselves with resources and gather powers to join your allies in the fight against the Faceless, reclaim the Citadel from his rule, and save Arcana.

Exploring the Game World, Surviving, and Crafting
What does the gameplay in Frozen Flame look like? The game provides a world to discover and explore. There are puzzles to solve and secrets to unveil. You collect the knowledge of your ancestors and take on their special abilities.
There are monsters in the ruins that you can fight, and huge creatures roam the game world from which you can obtain loot.
A major aspect of the game is crafting. You build a fortress where you and your allies can seek shelter and store your resources. Because in the world of Arcana, it can get uncomfortable, and you need a safe haven.
You can also create your own items to equip your character. And as you progress through the game, you unlock additional upgrades and abilities to become stronger.
What do the players think of Frozen Flame? Currently, the game is rated as “balanced” by Steam users. It should be noted that at the time of writing the article, the game had been on Steam for just one day. Accordingly, there are only few ratings with 414 reviews. Currently, 60% of them are positive (as of November 18, 2022, via Steam).
What do players say in the reviews? Many players see the game as a decent early access title where they have already had fun playing coop.
Overall, the game world and design are praised, and for some users, the game works technically perfectly, according to their statements.
One player also notices the blend of different elements in the game. User Kiba comments: “As if Genshin/Conan and Valheim had a baby. It’s been fun so far. Let’s see what the future brings”.
A point of criticism that has come up several times is the relatively high price of Frozen Flame and the still somewhat limited scope of game content.
An interesting game for co-op. A bright, colorful world. Many places to explore.
Fans of survival games and co-op will definitely enjoy it.What made me a bit sad:
User VooDoo via Steam
- the high price at the beginning
- Co-op for 4 people (in my opinion this is often completely sufficient), but if you want more people in your group, you have to rent a server for a fee
Negative comments contradict the statement in the positive reviews that the game works flawlessly. Players say the game crashes for them or is full of bugs. Some also feel the game is “not finished enough yet”.
How much does Frozen Flame cost on Steam? Currently, the game is on an introductory offer and is reduced by 15%. Instead of €29.99, you currently pay €25.49. The special offer runs until November 24.
Here you can also find a strategy game on Steam that lets you fight as a military against giant monsters.
