    Frozen Hearth is the Dark Souls of the RTS genre: damn challenging, at times infuriating, but rewarding to the persistent multi-tasking player. It's a shame there wasn't a bit more spit and polish before final release, because when Frozen Hearth isn't distracting you with oddities or omissions, it's actually a rewarding experience.

    Uninspiring, unpolished, and unnecessary.

    While we're left feeling a little cold, it's possible a half-price sale or similar could rekindle the flame once more. [Feb 2013, p.85]

    Frozen Hearth is an overambitious RTS game, with several good ideas such as specialization of your army, and focus on battles instead of base management. The lack of Internet support in a game designed for cooperation, as well as many glitches and unpolished features are major drawbacks.

  1. A challenging homage to everything I love about the RTS genre.
    There's something in there for everyone willing to sit down and take the reign
    s of what is sure to be a big hit when it gets on steam. Resource Management? Check.
    RPG stuff? Check that too.
    Hero Units? Like the ones you love from Dota, Hon and Lol? Double Check.
    Campaign Story, Multiplayer scenarios and Co-op? Check, Check and Check.
    Sometimes this game can get crazy hard and I found myself getting a bit frustrated but this would just make successfully completing a mission that much rewarding.
    Recommended for anybody looking for a healthy medium between the MOBAs and Starcraft 2.
