After amassing over 1.5 million wishlists and securing a spot in Steam's Top 10 most-anticipated titles, Unfrozen's prequel is finally playable. This isn't just a soft launch; the initial version arrives with a substantial amount of content for fans of the classic TBS/RPG formula. Players can dive into the first act of the campaign or test their tactical mettle in multiplayer and skirmish modes.
At launch, six distinct factions are available to master: Temple, Dungeon, Schism, Grove, Necropolis, and Hive. Each brings the series' signature army synergy and hero development to a modern engine while maintaining that specific bird's-eye isometric charm. For those who live for community content, the inclusion of a pre-release version of the Map Editor is a massive win, ensuring that custom scenarios will be available almost immediately.
To celebrate the release, a 25% launch discount is active for the first two weeks. The developers have also signaled a commitment to rapid iteration, promising non-stop hotfixes to iron out any technical hitches discovered by the initial wave of players. Given the depth of the six factions and the return to Enroth's origins, this looks like the serious revival the franchise has needed for years.
