The wait is over: Frosthaven is finally available in Italian! Considered the worthy successor to Gloomhaven, this colossal cooperative dungeon crawler further raises the bar of the gaming experience, introducing new mechanics, characters and a management component that expands the strategic depth.

What's new and main features

Frosthaven maintains the typical campaign structure of Gloomhaven, offering a branched narrative in which each choice affects the development of the story and the scenarios faced. The great innovation is represented by the introduction of a modular board with hidden windows, which are progressively unlocked and make the tracking of the adventure more intuitive and engaging.

On the gameplay front, the combat system remains faithful to its predecessor, with some additions and changes to enrich the strategic variety. Status effects, new cards and advanced mechanics make battles even more tactical, without however overturning the already consolidated foundations.

Outpost Management: An Added Value?

The real novelty of Frosthaven is about outpost management, a dynamic that expands the game beyond combat scenarios. Here comes into play a management component that includes:

• Gathering and managing raw resources and materials

• Construction and improvement of buildings

• Preparing the event deck related to the outpost

• Production of items and equipment

While this mechanic may be exciting at first, it can become cumbersome and procedural over time , slowing down the pace between adventures. Creating potions and crafting equipment are certainly stimulating elements, but managing resources and maintaining the outpost can significantly lengthen the game times.

Characters and Classes: More Depth and Variety

One of the strengths of Frosthaven is undoubtedly the variety of characters. Each class has unique characteristics that deeply impact the playstyle. Some examples:

• Blinkblade : A fast assassin with an original initiative management mechanic, capable of alternating lethal turns with moments of strategic preparation.

• Boneshaper : A necromancer who harnesses persistent summons, increasing resistance and control over the battlefield.

• Drifter : A versatile and resilient character, capable of maintaining permanent effects that make him a real rock.

• Frozen Fist : A powerful, but low-stamina fighter that requires careful management of its vital resources.

• Pain Conduit : A hero who bases his fighting style on accumulating negative conditions and then transforming them into powerful attacks.

Each character offers a completely different experience and, compared to Gloomhaven, the tactical depth of the classes has been further expanded. This guarantees a high level of replayability and greater customization of strategies.

Conclusion: Is it worth buying?

Frosthaven represents a natural evolution of Gloomhaven, improving some aspects and introducing new elements that expand the depth of the game. The combat system remains solid and satisfying , while the variety of scenarios and characters guarantees extraordinary longevity.

On the other hand, outpost management can be a double-edged sword : an interesting addition, but one that risks slowing down the flow of the game excessively, especially in the advanced stages of the campaign.

If you're a Gloomhaven fan looking for a new challenge, Frosthaven is definitely a must-buy . The level of strategic depth, replayability, and epic nature of the experience make it one of the most anticipated and ambitious titles in the board game landscape.
