Get ready to reshape the battlefield with Sanctuary: Shattered Sun’s second groundbreaking gameplay mechanic: freezing the entire map. This innovative feature brings a whole new layer of strategy to real-time combat, allowing players to manipulate the environment to their advantage—or risk devastating consequences.
When activated, the Freeze Mechanic transforms bodies of water into solid, icy terrain, making them passable for land units. Tanks, infantry, and other ground forces can now traverse areas previously off-limits, creating opportunities for surprise attacks, daring flanks, or even quick escapes.
But Beware the Thaw
While the freeze opens up new tactical possibilities, it also comes with a significant risk. The frozen terrain isn’t permanent—if the ice thaws while your units are crossing, they’ll plunge into the freezing depths, lost forever. Managing timing and risk is crucial to mastering this mechanic, adding an intense, high-stakes element to every engagement.
