In Toward The Ice, players step into the role of a princess navigating the wilderness, initially on a routine hunting mission. This tranquil day quickly turns into a nightmare when her younger brother, the prince, is captured by trolls. Each scream rings like a death knell as she watches him vanish toward a cave in the mountains, setting the stage for a race against time and danger. With your assistance, she seeks to reclaim her brother from the clutches of these monstrous beings.

A Classic Turn-Based RPG Adventure

Crafted as a first-person party-based dungeon crawler RPG, Toward The Ice employs grid-based movement and turn-based combat mechanics, immersing players in a nostalgic gaming experience. The game features random encounters that inject unpredictability into every dungeon and cave. Take charge of a party of six characters and strategize against various foes while navigating through intricate level designs, adding depth to combat scenarios and exploration.

Choose Your Heroes from Epic Classes

Customization is a highlight in Toward The Ice. Players can build their party from a selection of ten distinct classes, including exciting new options like the Valkyrie, Skald, Berserker, and Runecaller. Alternatively, if you're pressed for time, you can also opt for a pregenerated group of adventurers. This flexibility ensures that each player can create a unique lineup to tackle challenges as they explore diverse zones.

Discover Secrets in Every Encounters

Each battle comes with opportunities to uncover the strengths and weaknesses of various monsters, allowing for a more tactical approach in combat. Effective resource management and quick thinking are crucial as you uncover the secrets lurking within the trolls' lair.

Atmospheric Soundtrack Enhances the Experience

The auditory landscape of Toward The Ice is enriched by an original soundtrack composed in a nostalgic MIDI style by Bloodless Mushroom. The music not only complements the gameplay but also enhances the atmosphere, pulling players deeper into the unfolding narrative. The combination of engaging music and visual storytelling creates a melodic backdrop that accentuates every tense moment and victory.
