Midwinter is covered in snow, and has some nigh-impassable mountainous regions as well as some flat rolling plains. There were many different variables to take into account (characters' skills, terrain, etc.) when deciding how to move around. The entire island was rendered with shaded 3D polygons.

An indirect sequel titled Flames of Freedom, also known as Midwinter II: Flames of Freedom or Midwinter 2, was developed by Maelstrom Games and published by MicroProse for the same platforms in 1991.
