Nordic Warriors

crashes constantly, cant play for more than a minute. cant seem to submit a ticket through steam as its not their product. messaged the developers but have yet to see an update fixing this. pc specs are above and beyond requirements.

A wonderful love-letter to the Myth series. Real Time Tactics (RTT) games are few and far between, and rarely done right. These devs get it. The Myth games are hard to get working on today's computers, and it's really nice that Nordic Warriors is here to scratch that itch. It's such a faithful homage to the beloved games that somebody should really give them the IP and have them remake Myth TFL + Soulblighter. Everyone should try this genre, and there's no better example.

Really great game reminds me of my time playing myth. used to be a bug on level 7 but I think its fixed now.

Too basic

Хорошая игра - судя по всему разработчики очень старались сохранить дух и наследие серии игр Myth. Враги весело разлетаются во все стороны, кровища заливает землю, движение камеры упростили и осовременили. Тактические сражения так же доставляют удовольствие. Однозначно рекомендую любителям Myth.

Nordic Warriors, developed by Liron Peer and Roman Levin (Coldsteel48) and published by Mashmashu Studio, is an indie real-time tactical RPG that combines Scandinavian mythology with a bleak fantasy setting. The game opens with a tragedy that immediately establishes its tone: a group of warriors returns home only to discover that their village has been consumed by death and chaos. This event becomes the catalyst for an adventure that spans dangerous territories filled with undead creatures, monstrous beasts, and forces tied to the coming of Ragnarok. Rather than presenting itself as an epic kingdom-building experience, Nordic Warriors focuses on the struggles of a small band of survivors attempting to push back against overwhelming darkness. Its gameplay centers on tactical combat where each character serves a distinct purpose on the battlefield. Players command a party of heroes with different abilities, encouraging careful planning instead of reckless aggression. Positioning is vital, as battles can quickly become overwhelming when enemies attack from multiple directions. Freja stands out among the cast thanks to her versatile skill set, providing support and magical assistance while other companions specialize in offense or durability. The game's real-time nature keeps encounters engaging, demanding constant attention without descending into mindless action. Every victory feels rewarding because success is usually tied to smart decision-making rather than numerical superiority. The Norse-inspired world is one of the game's greatest strengths. Nordic Warriors embraces mythological themes and blends them with dark fantasy elements to create a setting that feels appropriately grim. Players travel through cursed landscapes, forgotten settlements, and hostile territories that reflect a world slowly succumbing to catastrophe. The campaign's progression into increasingly dangerous regions creates a satisfying sense of escalation, and the inclusion of creatures from legend adds personality to the adventure. While the narrative itself is relatively straightforward, it provides enough motivation to keep players invested in the fate of its heroes and their battle against the approaching end times. Visually, the game delivers a respectable presentation considering its independent origins. Environments are detailed enough to establish atmosphere, and the use of lighting effects helps reinforce the ominous mood. Character designs may not rival those found in larger productions, but they are distinctive and fit the game's aesthetic well. Combat animations effectively communicate the impact of attacks, particularly during larger engagements against hordes of undead enemies. There are moments where limited resources become apparent through repetitive assets and occasional stiffness in animation, yet the overall presentation remains cohesive and demonstrates a clear artistic vision. Nordic Warriors also benefits from an atmospheric soundtrack that complements its somber setting. The music rarely overpowers the experience, instead serving as a subtle companion during exploration and combat. Sound effects add weight to battles, helping encounters feel more intense despite the game's modest scale. The pacing is generally solid throughout the campaign, balancing exploration, storytelling, and combat encounters without excessive downtime. However, some issues prevent the game from reaching greater heights. Pathfinding can occasionally lead to frustrating moments during crowded fights, and the interface sometimes lacks the polish expected from more established tactical titles. Additionally, players looking for deep customization systems or extensive replayability may find the experience somewhat limited once the main campaign concludes. Despite these shortcomings, Nordic Warriors succeeds because of its focused design and understanding of what makes tactical adventures enjoyable. It does not attempt to compete with massive strategy franchises by adding unnecessary complexity. Instead, it delivers a concentrated experience built around meaningful combat encounters, a memorable setting, and a cast of heroes worth guiding through perilous circumstances. Its passion for Norse mythology and tactical gameplay is evident from beginning to end, making it easy to appreciate the effort behind the project. For fans of real-time tactics and dark fantasy adventures, Nordic Warriors offers an engaging journey filled with challenging encounters and an appealing mythological backdrop. It may not redefine the genre, but it demonstrates that a small development team can create a compelling experience through strong atmosphere and well-crafted gameplay fundamentals. Rating: 7/10

How I longed for this game, a supposed faithful remake of a game to which I devoted many, many hours - to be good. However, it is objectively worse than the original from 30 fuc king YEARS ago! The graphics are worse (if you can believe it!), the gameplay is clunkier, and enemies appear in formation out of fuc king nowhere! Seriously, in the original there was an ebb, flow, logic and rationality to how and why enemies entered into the frame...and I believed they were an army of undead! In this game enemies clunkily appear and engage in combat like the first fuc king Warcraft! There is no art or craft with this clunky game which would have been considered bad back in the nineties when we had far, far less choice. The developers really need to replay the original and comprehend WHY this game was great and retry because I would gladly retry if they did.
