About

Position and relocate your troops to fend off the Vikings, who each have their own counters to the threats you pose. Pick your battles and plan your evacuations carefully! Lose a commander and they’re gone forever; lose everything, and it’s game over!
You command the broad strokes of your defenses and monitor positioning — your soldiers do the rest, navigating and engaging intuitively in response to the situation at hand.
Each island is both stylistically charming and unique in its layout. Plan your strategies around every nook and cranny, for you only get one chance to save them from the enemy invasion.
A stronger, smarter defense leads to greater rewards. Use these to develop your subjects from a ragtag militia into seasoned warriors.
Your home is under attack. The king is dead at the hands of Viking invaders. Hope is a distant glimmer in the fog, fading fast with every passing moment. As you rise to take your father’s place as ruler, it will fall to you to stage your defenses. But make no mistake – this is no fight for victory, but a desperate grasp for survival.
Bad North is a charming but brutal real-time tactics roguelite. Defend your idyllic island kingdom against a horde of Viking invaders, as you lead the desperate exodus of your people. Command your loyal subjects to take full tactical advantage of the unique shape of each island. Everything is at stake: fail, and watch the blood of your subjects stain the ground red.
With beautiful procedurally-generated islands and adorable soldiers juxtaposed against the blood-stained realities of war. You control the broad strokes of the battle, giving high level commands to your soldiers who try their best to carry them out in the heat of the moment. It’s accessibly deep, with simple player inputs masking a dynamic combat simulation that make it inviting to new players while challenging veterans.

Reviews
Quite boring and repetitive with very low tactical and strategic depth - good for mobile game but really not entertaining for regular playing.
19年在手机上玩过盗版,最近打折补票。 一款非常短小精悍的塔防战旗类游戏,最有趣的是在自己玩懂后开始挑战困难的时候。后面开始变得乏味了。游戏方面兵种较少,一个兵种只有一种技能,但是技能并不好用,很多时候吃地形,用好了有奇效不假,但是很多时候没那个条件。宝物与部队的特性也较少,排列组合下来有用的不多,为此也有很多玩家打mod,但是这就引入了下一个问题——原版因为双方兵种少,所以相对平衡,但是打了mod就变成虐杀维京人了。 此外游戏没有加速,有些关凹很多遍,找到了最优解,但是只能用原版速度来。此外有些时候要掐准时机仍雷,万箭齐发以及神兵天降,需要点击部队等待天时,但是子弹时间又显得过于冗长,如果可以自己设置倍速就好了。 和王国一样,本身底子很好,但是内容还是太少了,一定要打折买,不然血亏。

Every market we collect.
For scale, across Steam · Top Sellers · Brazil over the last 30 days: the 25 chart moves that followed a price cut of more than 20% went a median of 10 places towards #1, and the 2,413 moves with no price cut behind them went 2 away. One store, one chart, one country — it is the only place we have enough observations to say even that.
Prices outside the United States have been collected since 6 August 2026 and chart positions since 19 July 2026, so a cut older than that has no market to compare and a market that joined later has no history yet. Nothing here is converted between currencies.

2나오면 지갑털어서 살 의향 있는게임
三种兵种对抗对面七种,长矛前中期的神后期也不弱,盾兵中后期发力,弓兵满级后才有用,主要是用来压出生点和没事补补伤害远程切一下对面狂战(散布大导致还有点吃运气) 真是益益又智智啊,打折入了绝对不亏
10个小时普通模式通关。关卡相似度过高,玩起来有点无聊。玩了2个小时的时候我很期待后面是否会有新的内容,然而并没有。
应该是史低的时候买的,不到12块,今天终于全成就了。整体上是个需要一些策略的游戏,这一点在困难、极难模式下尤其明显。优点是价格不贵,属于比较新颖的塔防类型(尤其对我来说),入门简单,可以体验到指挥官调兵遣将的趣味,音乐的带入感很强;缺点是玩法单一,兵种太少,困难和极难模式下非常烧脑但是又不是玩法更难有种为了难而难的感觉,虽然岛是随机生成的但玩到每个存档的后期总是很无聊,过了上头阶段就没有什么打开玩的意愿了
A semi-chill tower defense game with some surprising hidden depth—especially once you get to the later difficulties. I had a very good time 100%ing for the price. Would love a sequel with expanded ideas and mechanics!
приключения рюрика и его друзей
Hard at mid-late game, somewhat creepy, really fun. Allies AI is stupid sometimes, but never ruined me a game. Definitely recommended.
Прикольный рогалик. Управляешь 4мя отрядами, пускаешь их по кругу 24/7. также их викинги любят пускать по кругу, пока до генерала, этого самого отряда, не доберутся. Генерала можно прокачивать: выбрать класс (лучник, мечник, копейщик), усилить отряд. выдать ему дополнительное оружие (мины, бомбы и др.), а также навык, привязанный к классу. Не сложно разобраться, помогает расслабиться, ну может кому то попсиховать, потому что бывают сложные локации. Рекомендую: 10 хороводов из 10 генералов!
