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.
Sums Steam only; Xbox, GOG publish no volume signal, so the true total is higher by an unknown amount.

从小在社交媒体上看过这款游戏的解说,当时就觉得很好玩 总体体验确实有点容易腻,但真的挺不错的,休闲时间玩一玩也是很不错的选择
[h1] 有趣的画风和玩法 [/h1] 最后一关打过时,看着岛边围满了入侵的船只,才发觉我真的指挥打了一场硬仗。同时这游戏很“友好”的一点是,发现要死了可以直接alt+F4,进来不会吞存档😂。[spoiler] 靠疯狂SL赖皮已通关最高难度 [/spoiler]
Simple, fun, good

Every market we collect.
For scale, across Steam · Top Sellers · Brazil over the last 30 days: the 23 chart moves that followed a price cut of more than 20% went a median of 14 places towards #1, and the 2,515 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.

好玩 需要点微操 灵活运用道具和阵容配合还是能过极难的
W game wish it had multiplaayer
Juego cortito, con mucho encanto vikingo y de dibujo minimalista. Jugabilidad buena, divertido, estilo tower defense pero particular. Moviendo las tropas y mejorándolas sobrevives a oleadas de enemigos, personalizándolas a tu gusto.

游戏不错,画风挺好,引入扣一分,有点太少了

Minik askerlerimizi sınıflarına göre stratejik bir biçimde adada yerleştirdiğimiz ve gelen düşman dalgalarına karşı adamızdaki evleri savunduğumuz bir oyun. Genel olarak oynaması eğlenceli, sıkılmadan oynayabiliyorsunuz. Keşke daha fazla asker sınıfı eklenseymiş.
