Description


Bad North: Jotunn Edition Demo is available here
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.

It’s charmingly brutal, 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.

Keep fighting, warriors. Not for power or riches or glory, but for hope of peace to come once again in the harsh lands of the Bad North.

Key Features:


REAL-TIME TACTICS ROGUELITE: 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!


INTELLIGENT UNIT CONTROLS: 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.


PROCEDURALLY-GENERATED ISLANDS: 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.


UNLOCKABLE UPGRADES: A stronger, smarter defense leads to greater rewards. Use these to develop your subjects from a ragtag militia into seasoned warriors.

A streamlined real-time defence game with a wonderful knack for dread.

Mostly delightful and sometimes punishing, Bad North is a fun alternative to more complex strategy games.

For what it lacks in scope, Bad North makes it up with an addictive, rewarding roguelike strategy gameplay layer.

I don't recommand

The lack of content and strategy makes it a very repetitive and boring game. Don't waste time with this one, just looking at the screenshot is enough.

This game is SOOOOOOOOO boring!

This game is painfully slow and boring. It does what it set out to do, which is why I gave it 3 stars, but dear lord is it dull. If you have a long flight and nothing better to do, it is a decent enough time sink, but it is definitely not a game you will feel a need to play. Even if I got it free I would only play it if it happened to already be installed.

Garbage

The menu seems cute enough to lure you in. Problem is, I lost fairly quickly (4th round) although I read everything the game let me. No idea what I did wrong and I don't think it is a feasible design to brute force the gameplay. The art style is nice, mostly fog to cover the lack of anything on the screen. Would work well had the gameplay been fun.
