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.

Muy táctico, los errores se sienten fatales, pero el juego te permite planear bien, asi que no se sienten injustos. Pocas opciones de especialización, que se resuelve con diferentes pasivas de los comandantes y objetos a equipar, lo que le da variedad. Buena variedad de enemigos, cada uno con sus habilidades que explotan los puntos débiles de tus tropas

Every market we collect.
For scale, across Steam · Top Sellers · Poland over the last 30 days: the 21 chart moves that followed a price cut of more than 20% went a median of 12 places towards #1, and the 2,501 moves with no price cut behind them went 1 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.

这游戏很对胃口,艺术风格和策略性都是。体量不是很大,原价购买有些贵了,建议打折入手。别的不说,一巴掌下去飞出去一队盾兵真帅吧,千里之外拉弓拿人头真帅吧,拿双刀跳劈到人堆里大杀四方真帅吧,可惜全是敌方的坏家伙!
石头剪刀布游戏,兵种互克。 为什么不把弩兵改成通关奖励,这玩意索敌远,打的准,伤害高还不是脆皮花瓶,一发还能秒多个兵。刷这玩意的海岸完全不能站人不然等着被串糖葫芦吧,这玩意两个齐射步兵必减员,还好这玩意不会直接用弩射房子,而且不像弓兵全岛马拉松不然高低打个差评。 最大问题还是AI寻路,有时会卡几个在别的队伍里,或者卡在拐角或者上下坡有概率会留一个在坡上罚站,还有补兵也有概率会留一个在屋外罚站,虽然不影响进度条但是在补兵完成前不能单独控制,站外面还会被抽靶子
Beating this game gave me the same feeling as finishing Breaking Bad, just wanting more. Looking through the reviews I see people saying they wish the developers did more, which I agree but similarly to Breaking Bad, maybe adding too much would saturate the game. The game is simple, beautiful both visually and to the ears, I am yet to 100% the game, but it took me two years to get myself to finally beat it, maybe it'll take another two years to get the last two achievements. Either way, 10/10 game would absolutely recommend
This game is a straight PTSD simulator, i am always screaming trying not to get jumped by 500 vikings. W game 10/10
Très bon jeu !
쌍검 점프 뛰는 새끼가 ㅈㄴ 열받네 재밋음
Une leçon de gameplay qui continue de me hanter souvent. Oskar, reviens.
