About This Game

Frostward is a turn-based 4X strategy game set in a frozen, post-apocalyptic world. Lead the last survivors as you build settlements on a hex grid, expand your territory, and command troops against the bitter cold and enemy invasions.

Survival keeps the pressure on. Planning, expansion, and combat drive your decisions.

From Buildings to Districts to Wonders

Discover our original layered construction system: place buildings on the hex grid, combine them into districts, then bring those districts together to form mighty wonders. A wonder is more than a standalone landmark—it is the culmination of the settlement you have planned and built.

Build Your Settlement. Then Defend It.

The cold and your enemies will not wait for construction to finish. Balance survival, expansion, and defense. Command troops directly in turn-based battles on the world map, or prepare defensive structures to repel invasions. Venture out for resources, but do not leave your settlement unprotected.

Choose Your Path of Development

Research technologies, develop heroes, strengthen buildings and troops, and shape your strategy through policies. Combine these systems to decide where your limited resources will go—and how you will meet the challenges ahead.

A New Situation Calls for a New Plan

Resource locations and enemy positions shape where you build and expand. Plan your layout, choose your development priorities, and adapt your troop deployments to the conditions of each run, rather than following the same construction checklist.

Stay, Escape, or Change the World?

Build a civilization that can endure the long winter, pour your resources into a Lifeark to escape, or uncover the source of the cold and try to bring warmth back to the world.

Wishlist Frostward and plan your civilization’s future in the frozen world.
