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.

Rogue-like defence a series of islands

Slick rogue-like where you skill up your units (up to 4 on map at a time) to defend a new island each round from a variety of viking enemies. It feels fair as you can see the terrain of upcoming islands and the types of marauders and choose the ones that suit the army you have built. There is no story or even any impetus to try out different builds on successive runs, which seems a weakness.

Addictive & well made

Loving it so far, I'd recommend it if you're a fan of strategy and especially tower defence. Love the difficulty balancing, feels like a lot of thought has been put into it.

Jump in, Jump out kind of game

A game that brings me back to the days of playing flash games at a friends house. Simple game that is easy to get into but still gives a challenage. I've been having a great time with it so far.

Too simple

You click on the square with your units and then click on the square with the enemy. That's the extent of the game. I think it goes to show that the average playtime is 3 hours and I'm bored after 2.
