Journey Bound Games is bringing a unique blend of action and strategy to Steam with their upcoming title, Wild Ice. This game throws players into a frozen apocalypse where the only hope lies in the unlikely skills of small-town hockey players, Max and Finley.
Their mission? To reactivate furnaces across the globe and push back against an encroaching frost zombie threat.
Overview
Wild Ice reimagines the tower defense genre by infusing it with third-person combat and a distinct hockey-themed twist. Players will need to strategically defend critical furnaces, which act as self-contained battle arenas. As the heat from these furnaces is vital, players must protect them from escalating waves of frost zombies. The gameplay loop involves activating a furnace, meticulously planning defensive setups, and then surviving the onslaught.
Highlights
- Hockey-Fueled Combat: Experience a unique tower defense system where slap shots, trap building, and fisticuffs are your primary tools for survival.
- Co-op Fun: Team up with a friend for couch co-op action, combining your hockey prowess to defend the furnaces together.
- Strategic Defense: Each furnace presents a distinct tower defense challenge within an open-world setting, requiring careful planning and execution against relentless enemy waves.
Who It's For
This game is perfect for players who enjoy action-packed tower defense with a creative twist. Fans of cooperative gameplay, especially local split-screen co-op, will find a lot to love. If you're looking for a strategy game that doesn't take itself too seriously and offers a fun, cartoony aesthetic, Wild Ice should be on your radar.
Game Info
Developed and published by Journey Bound Games, Wild Ice is slated for release soon. It supports both single-player and multiplayer modes, including co-op and shared/split-screen co-op. The game features a vibrant, cartoony art style and promises engaging action-strategy gameplay.
