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.

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.

Goated RTS game
Very strategic and cool game. I love the style and art, plus the structure of the game overall. I wish there were bigger islands and an option to have more than four commanders at once, but I have had a lot of fun with it anyways.
16,500원 이라는 가격 자체는 적당하다고 생각함. 1회성 게임치고는 재미도 있고, 간편하게 즐길만한 수작임. 간단하고 직관적이라 심플하게 즐길 분들에게 추천함. 다만 아쉬웠던 점으로 전투 중에는 각 부대의 병력 현황을 보여주는 UI가 없었음. 때문에 병력 파악을 위해서는 눈에 보이는 아군 병력의 수를 대략적으로 봐야 했는데 적과의 난전 속에서 특정 부대의 아군 병력을 눈으로 파악하기에는 매우 어려웠음. 그리고 게임 시작시, 아이템·트레잇 등을 고를 수 있었는데, 이건 이전 회차를 클리어하면 일정 확률로 해금되는 기능인 것 같음.(확실하지는 않음) 때문에 시작할때 새로운 아이템, 트레잇 등을 선택하고 싶다면 플레이를 여러번 해야만 하는 것 같음. 이 점이 다회차 플레이를 강요하는 느낌이 들어서 좀 거부감이 들었음. 그냥 한번 깨면 다 해금시켜 주던가. 그럼에도 이런 것들을 고려하더라도 진짜 나쁘지 않은 게임이었음.
This game is the type that's easy to understand but difficult to master. It's about Viking invasions of islands and villages, so you have to repel them and protect yourself and your city until you get your loot. The system is simple, with levels, and the difficulty increases with each level, as the number of enemies increases and new enemies appear. The gameplay is nice; you have to distribute your forces and defend the island. You have three unit specializations: swordsmen, spearmen, and archers. Each has its advantages and disadvantages. For example, if you upgrade swordsmen, they get armor, so they won't be affected by enemy archers, but they're weak in long-range defenses. I recommend using them for quick intervention or to eliminate archers. Spearmen are powerful and best placed in strategic locations, like on a hill near a staircase, so no one can climb up because the enemy's speed decreases, making them easy targets. However, their weakness is that if enemies get close and hit them, they won't be able to defend themselves. You have to drag them away and keep them ready. Archers are best placed in high areas. It will be useful, but over time most of the players will start wearing armor, making it less effective. I recommend the game; it's a simple and comfortable strategy game with smooth character movements. It's best played as a side game during sales.
好玩
Le jeu est vraiment bien pour se relaxer ,et la mécanique qui fait que quand un commandant meurt ,il meurt pour toute la partie et bien trouvé ,et cela donne de l'importance aux commandant .
