Frozen Flame

About this game

Frozen Flame is a Survival RPG set in the vast world of Arсana, an ancient land once governed by the Dragons. Addled by the curse, it now beckons for souls capable of harnessing the powers of the primeval magic. Those who seek to govern over these lands will have to amass power and allies to bring the fight to the Ice Citadel, home of the Faceless that spreads rot over the realm.

Tailored for those who love to explore, Frozen Flame offers so much more than just an open world full of beautiful vistas and ancient ruins riddled with monsters. With a fully-developed progression system, it’s up to you to choose your own path and endure the harsh world full of mystery, threatening enemies, and gigantic creatures guarding the secrets of this world.

Recruit allies, build your keep, gear up with dozens of craftable options and get exploring in search of ancient artifacts left by the ancients. No journey is like any other in this realm: bound by magic, the shape of the world is unique for every playthrough, with islands, floating in the air, changing the layout in an unpredictable way. Spread the wings given to you by the power of Frozen Flame and explore the ever-changing landscape in search of ancient treasure.

Shape the Destiny of the World

Looming over the horizon, with its massive silhouette dominating the landscape, stands the Ice Citadel. It now captured by the Faceless – a being of immense power, blighting the lands of Arсana. His power grows ever stronger, sending waves of destruction across the lands which will freeze the world in eternal ice if it is not stopped.

Rediscover the Knowledge of the Ancients

Your ancestors were once beings of great power, who shaped these lands with unbending wills of iron and the skills of great masters. Gather their knowledge, absorb their essence to obtain their powers and choose your own path in this fully-developed RPG world.

Reimagined survival experience

Build a fortress capable of protecting your party and the possessions you’ve amassed along the way. While keeping the destructive powers of eternal winter at bay, it provides you with much-needed means of production to overcome the harsh conditions of the cursed lands and rest when the breath of ancient Dragons brings the destructive powers of winter to your doorstep.

  Next Update: Open Alpha

  We know you're excited about the next update, and we truly appreciate your patience. While it's still in development, we don't want to keep you waiting any longer. To give you a sneak peek, we're opening access to the alpha for everyone. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/32012398/601edff5a74b6a0964da9dde790cccd6153177a0.png Alpha Version Access First and foremost, we want to show our current progress to those who are concerned about the future of the Frozen Flame. In the alpha version, you can explore the foundation of the new biome. New portal and biome (no quests or activities yet) New monsters New armor Updated combat system Reworked ability tree Flying adjustments Keep in mind that it's still missing balance, optimization, and localization. We've already conducted closed testing and are now actively working on the beta version, which will include quests, rebalancing, and all core activities. How to switch to the Alpha branch To switch into the Alpha branch you need to open game properties in steam: Proceed to the “Betas” tab and select “alpha” in the drop down menu: {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/32012398/b3437c6042cdcaa312221f421484d4aabfa3d52a.png To switch back - select “None”. IMPORTANT: Backup your game save before testing, as many aspects will change in the final version. How to backup files To make backups you should navigate to your save files location. The path should look like this: C:\Users\%USERPROFILE%\AppData\Local\FrozenFlame\Saved\SaveGames Copy the “SaveGame00” - “SaveGame04” folders to a different location. If something unfortunate happens to the files during your Alpha experience, you can place the copies back and overwrite the broken saves. Price Reduction Due to numerous requests, we have decided to reduce the game's price soon to make it more accessible. All previous purchasers will receive a Primal pack (will be sold separately) and the Golden Harp pack (not for sale) as a token of our appreciation for your patience and support. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/32012398/da957c760...

  Dev Diary #5

  As players continue to engage with the game and express concern about its future, we aim to clarify a current stage of development. Next Update {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/32012398/57d35bd294f6fce7d160f4ed109892d9fef9a17b.png Since the last update, our dedicated team of enthusiasts has been developing the game despite the challenging times. Finally, we plan to begin beta testing for the next major update this spring. The exact date will be announced on Discord at least a week prior to the event. Here are some changes to look forward to: - A portal to the next biome (although there's much work to be done, you'll be able to engage with new enemies, items and armor) - An accelerated and refined combat system - Ability Tree update - Game balance update - Fixes based on player feedback (bird flight fixes, loot pickup fixes, etc.) Focus to Co-op Experience We have decided to shift our focus entirely to cooperative PVE adventure, possibly with optional PVP arenas. Moving forward, each game world will have its own "irreversible" state with gradually increasing difficulty. This change will reduce grinding and introduce more new activities and challenges. Following the update release, we plan to close the official game servers, which were initially more PVP-oriented. However, players can still maintain and develop their own servers with their own rules. Pricing and demo We also plan to release a free demo this spring and are considering a price reduction. If we proceed with this, all current players will receive a free DLC containing special items. This is our attempt to make the game more accessible to players. Please let us know your thoughts on this. Community If there's something you're particularly excited about for the next update, beyond what's already listed, now is the time to share it in the comments. We are grateful to our players for their patience and support, and we look forward to bringing the game to release together with you, pilgrims.

  Dev Diary #4

  Autumn has already arrived and many of you have been eagerly awaiting the next updates, so it's time to tell you what we're working on right now. Cursed Lands {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/32012398/e518b10a394c541818805061095066f36481de31.png First and foremost, we’re working on the next large biome and the continuation of the campaign. Traveling among flying islands has brought a lot of new sensations, but many people miss large locations like the Cradle of the Keepers. The Cursed Lands will fill in. We have to warn you. Pilgrim should not expect a warm welcome, especially if you come unprepared - The Cursed Land is one of the final locations before the Frozen Citadel, and it will put ones’ skills to the test. We should preemptively warn you that you won't be able to fly here. You will need to explore the surrounding area on foot and exerсise caution. It's not just about poisoned clouds and contaminated waters here… Flora and Fauna Those who have participated in the very first tests will remember the "old friends" - dangerous underground beetles and wild lizards, distant relatives of the peaceful Ku. This lands belong entirely to them. Between the lizards' agility and beetles' ambushes, battles will prove to be interesting, yet dangerous. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/32012398/c71dcada98a3287c2ef958b628991bc535efccd1.png Whoever vanquishes them will be rewarded with new resources, which players can use to finally acquire chitin armor. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/32012398/a6d192dbb604ad3025a65b78425de6c8806f725b.png And don't forget about the local exotic plants. They will serve as components for creating new, unique dishes. It is said that the recipes for these dishes have long been forgotten by the residents of Arcana. But maybe someone remembers the distant taste of "Mountain Giant Stew", which gave incredible strength? {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/32012398/f8847e71fc94836b91eaad56e32d59c2a6c5066e.png New Boss In the depths of the cursed lands, players will encounter a new boss. Do we really need to spe...

  Dev Diary #3: Future plans

  It has been just over a month since the last major update, and we want to share with you what is happening inside the studio, as well as to tell you about our future plans. How was Early Access? Before the release in Early Access, the game was in development for over 5 years. Initially, it was developed by a small indie team, which eventually expanded up to 20 people. After the release in Early Access, the pace of work was frenzied, and we literally didn't sleep to deliver everything we promised during the long project lifetime. This was justified on the one hand, but on the other hand, the tight deadlines resulted in errors that many of you have experienced. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/32012398/95f495eca07a61cff7cbfe40e350a3dc48282276.jpg {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/32012398/bbfa7774f2e1c5d38a72e823b701fc7faa8c3b23.jpg The most unpleasant ones were wiping all servers and periodic players’ house breaking. We apologize for those again. We are taking all possible measures to prevent such problems in the future. Although the overall reviews of the game are still mixed, a decent part of the negativity was in the first few days of Early Access due to the lack of public servers and content. Both moments are already fixed, and we continue to strive to gradually achieve consistently positive ratings of the game. After all, we have also received a lot of words of support and truly useful reviews, some of which are now pinned in the company chats and inspire us to move forward. In any case, we are glad that we released the game in Early Access first and hope that we can release it together with you. By the way, many people ask about the game demo version. Steam is currently testing the trial system, and we are looking forward to use it. This will allow you to continue playing immediately after purchase. However, if this option does not appear in the coming months, we will release a traditional game demo version. What's happening now? As we have already told you before, we are currently working...
