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.

aways the best solo game
很有意思的闯关游戏
经典小游戏鼻祖了又是,可惜的是在玩个几十个回合后明白敌兵种类克制的关系后,可玩性就下降了,升级兵种以及技能都没啥太大关系了,道具以及兵种技能太少了。

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.

Its a cool and relaxing game until the longbow enemies arrive and end the run. It wouldt be a bad idea to get while on discount.
Such a fun charming game!!
super fun
YES
极简的画风,但是战斗倒颇有深度,可以通过即时的微操达到减少战损,但是简单的兵种搭配与站位同样可以达到1+1>2的效果,不过后期堆怪导致兵种选择受到局限,以及更新懈怠,还不如手游移植厂商有活负责
总的来说还行,但是游戏最重要的部分反而是最糟糕的,奇怪的索敌系统让我备受折磨,近战士兵没有追击欲望,敌人只需要人数稍多就能完成冲阵从人堆中间穿过然后烧你的房子,偏偏敌人就在士兵的隔壁格他们也纪律严明地不会追击然后看着房子被烧掉
排兵布阵 欲罢不能 维京巨弩你真是毁了我的战术大师梦 我讨厌你!
