This game is older, but still holds up. It's very cute and is a nice game to play if you have some downtime and aren't looking for a super intense experience! Or it's just nice to play if have the time :) Graphics ✅ Pixel Simple, side-scrolling. Some variation on backgrounds, time of day, weather etc. Generally similar the entire game but it's enough to be captivating! Story ✅ Some lore Two (technically three) story branches: -The story of Aurora and her eventual fateful night on the Ice & the auroras -You vs. "The Jerk" +your own lore, if you decide to give you and your dogs stories. PC Requirements ✅ Potato Runs high fps on (likely) almost any setup. Game Length ✅ Short (3-4 hours for all achievements during casual play.) Difficulty ✅ Easy Easy to learn & Master! Takes a bit of insight to get "good," but there's not much effort needed. Audio - Music ✅ Good Well-done music. About 17 tracks total, though it can get repetitive if you pay attention for too long. Replayability ✅ It must have been some time ✅ Definitely playable Depends on the person -- I find myself either playing it nonstop for days or I'll return to it after a year or so. Game Modes ✅ Singleplayer Bugs ✅ Never heard of 🎮 Is it worth playing? 🎮 ✅ Yes -- If you're looking for a cute, short, and captivating game that doesn't take much skill, I recommend playing it. Worth the $8 price tag, honestly. Rating 9/10

It's a simple game that feels somewhat addicting. It has mechanics that anyone can learn easily, and it's a great game for if you want to relax and not have to think too hard. The game-play can be repetitive and get boring, but I find that if I take breaks between playing then I'm alright. One of my favorite mechanics is how dogs may have a negative trait and a positive trait. which makes the dogs feel unique and also can add challenge to races. If you don't mind taking breaks every so often, and you like simple games with easy mechanics, then I would very much recommend this game!!

I think a review is due since this game is why I made a Steam account in the first place. The graphics are very charming and the gameplay is simple and easy to pick up. It's a bit repetitive, but it feels like a game you don't finish in one sitting. I would only recommend it if that doesn't bother you, but if it doesn't then I highly recommend it. It really holds up even though it's nearly a decade since release.

one of my favorite games! every so often and i'll come back and revisit it to play through again with some sort of new self-imposed challenge. the gameplay can get repetitive but i find it overall very relaxing and i can easily sink a lot of time into perfecting my team. i just wish there was more content, and a hard mode. i can only hope that one day we'll get a dog sled saga 2!

Well I guess it isn't too often that I get to review a dog-sledding game. Oh no! where are my reference points? Luckily, this is a really nice game to play, and Husky pre-knowledge is not required. Well, not too much anyway. I really liked this straight-forwards, chill, fun game. While deceptively simple in presentation and function, it does actually have some depth and difficulty which propels you to engage it a bit more seriously after an hour or two. Basically two main aspects pillar the game; a management sim where you might pick dogs, races, sponsors etc and train and mange business to progress, and a mildly but critically interactive race element which does require attention to get the best out of your pups and your racing chops. You can play this for hours i guess, and it's one of those games where you just don't mind. The story and progression are there but also non-essential for your enjoyment. The pixel graphics are just right for the game, and cleverly fully represent both your lovely doggos and the feeling of living in the wilderness with not much more than racing and a diary to keep you going. And keep going you must, if you want to beat 'that guy' So, a motor-racing team sim, with no motors but many lovely dogs and where superchargers, tyre wear and driver attitude are replaced with attitude, aptitude and love and care for your racing friends. What's not to love? I definitely did
