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.

好玩
越打越捞,这么多年的游戏了一点平衡不讲吗,不打mod通不了关是吧,还有这个关卡随机+玩家控制的兵种灵活性太捞有时候第一关都过不了
It's fun, it's simple and decently priced. Wait until a sale, I got this for like 2 dollars

Every market we collect.
Too few observations to say whether a discount moves this store's chart at all: across the last 30 days Steam · Top Sellers · Poland has just 18 day-to-day chart moves that followed a price cut, against 2,498 that did not. We are publishing the count instead of a direction — 20 is the fewest we will draw a conclusion from, and price collection outside the United States began on 6 August 2026.
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.

非常好玩的即时战术+塔防类游戏,适合休闲的时候玩。画风简易,部署和战斗界面简洁明了。游戏有不同的难度可供选择。兵种有步兵,长矛,弓箭3种,敌人种类多样,不同的敌人需用不同的兵种来克制。前期玩法简单,但后期还需注意岛屿的取舍以及不同岛屿间兵力的分配问题。总之,游戏体量一般,玩法上还是多样的。
Zen but challenging
Esse jogo é simplesmente incrível, msm sendo mto simples. Eu SUPER recomendo ele, simples de se aprender e a jogar, gráficos e músicas incríveis, e um bom nível de dificuldade. Em resumo, ele é o básico MUITO bem feito. Uma pena q ele não tenha tanto conteúdo, como mais classes ou inimigos e até um sistema de "ilhas da comunidade", onde vc poderia jogar ilhas e até campanhas feitas por outros jogadores (talvez num Bad North 2 kkkk).
esta bueno, pero ojala le agreguen mas enemigos, no creo que pase xd =(
Protect your island home from dark foreign invaders!
Muito bom para passar o tempo, o jogo tem sua dificuldade, tem sangue, SANGUEEEEEE Um excelente RogueLike, muito foda
What a great concept & execution. I'm loving the challenge of defending my islands. I always enjoy having a game that I can just pick up and play for 15 minutes to clear my head, knowing that I can come back to it later. This is right up there with Into the Breach for playability and fun. Even though it's a few years old, it's as good as new -- graphics are great.
