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.

常凯申小时候吵着要玩
这游戏就是神。 但是最高难度过于困难,根本打不过。 不更新了也是一个遗憾。
Простая но достаточно залипательная, игра. Сильно упрощённый FTL, в скандинавском сеттинге. С удовольствием потратил несколько часов на оборону от нападающих викингосов.

Every market we collect.
For scale, across Steam · Top Sellers · Brazil over the last 30 days: the 26 chart moves that followed a price cut of more than 20% went a median of 7 places towards #1, and the 2,400 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.

强烈强烈建议前期选择兵种升级的时候多选一点盾兵,不然就会向我一样等到弩弓维京人出场的时候发现自己的弓兵矛兵还没等到他上岸就被射得如陀螺般旋转然后被迫弃档
电脑里有一款,敌人个个以一敌百,你的队友以1/2敌虫,你以为是1/2个人才打得赢一只虫吗,实则是1/2个队才打得赢一只虫,而敌人融合三大战役的战术,诺曼底登陆,凡尔登战役,闪击战,而你只能看着你的队友9打1被反杀7的美妙景色的游戏
Обожаю этих разрабов, делают из минимализма вкуснятину, но... На первый взгляд выглядит так: 🔸Крестьяне с копьями, как по заветам Папича, здесь не имбалансные, даже скорее очень странные, мощные до жути, но мест для их применения не так уж и много и ежели ваша жадность не даёт вам всрать хоть 1 дом, дабы не потерять драгоценный шекель - придётся их контролить постоянно. Пара бичёнков зашедших с подветренной вплотную - загрызут отряд практически полностью, потому что копейщики не развились до скилла "Немного отойти" и "Не поднимать копья когда всегда", а узкие пространства, да, они в соло вытащат, даже если на них идёт два отряда жиробасов, но это от обстоятельств. 🔸Обучение на горьком опыте, то что ты не знал, что некоторый наступательный отряд, видимо, проплывал мимо Гарварда и развился настолько, что таскать щиты и кидаться г̶о̶в̶н̶о̶м̶ топорами стало привычным делом - исключительно твои проблемы. Ах да, за нинзя с двумя мечами, которые сальтухи крутят - отдельный респект, отряд из 12-ти Т3 мечников просил передать комплект новых трусов в Вальгалу. 🔸Микроконтроль для самых маленьких, скиллами совсем не пользуюсь пока что, вывозится и без них неплохо на нормальной сложности (сракотно на сложную прыгать первую катку) По всей видимости я ещё много что не открыл, хотелось бы острова с магазиками или микроивентами, отряд гренадёров с зажигательными смесями, возможность отменять ссаное пополнение отрядов в кибитке, когда это необходимо, ну и от тортика я бы не отказался. На первых парах, в общем, заскучал, будем посмотреть. Спасибо команде Raw Fury
说实在,没啥爽感,你可以要求我的策略,可以要求我的操作,但是不能在一个策略游戏里面要求我的操作,这不变成RTS了吗,问题是RTS是可以通过策略调整去切换节奏的,而这是一个闯关游戏。另外,重复度太高,也没什么额外的机关设置。纯粹没事干可以体验下,如果有更好选择建议还是玩别的吧
great game! very minimalist but deep. it is a very punishing rougelike if you get greedy. im very greedy. i want to take every island and that means splitting your forces which is extremely punishing if done wrong and can set you up for failure. it’s a low reward to high risk often times. does that mean i don’t push it? god no! we gotta take all the islands and kill every viking invader and collect all the gold and treasure and item! 9/10 just could use a speed up button.
Стратегия про викингов неплохая. Пройти сойдёт, ачивки нет. Потартил на 14 часов больше для 2 ачивок. 7 викингов из 10
Too simplistic to be interesting. after two upgrades the units have nothing new to offer. Then just copy-paste your tactics on every island
