A simple Vikings version of FTL
From the sounds of it, it seems simple and it is...kind of. Throughout the game, you are given squads with a bit of a personality. These little vikings are lead by a main unit with his own portrait. Besides that and a few voice effects for the squads to distinguish them, that is all you get in terms of personality. As for the story and lore, there is none...well unless you made one up yourself. As you move along the map and reach each location, you arrive on small to large islands. Some of them having different terrain and weather which have slight affects on gameplay. However at no point do you come across any bit of lore or plot. Now, if that was the intention by the game's developers, Plausible Concept, to have no plot then I suppose they succeed in that regard. The lack of any kind of lore does hurt as this game would have benefit from it. The art style is both cute and brutal at the same time. From the menus and all their interesting details to the designs of the units and environments, the team at Plausible Concept deserve top marks for that. The music itself is not so memorable but effective in some places. As you defend an island and are surround by all sides, listening to the eerie chants and drones is a nice touch of dread as you push back the horde. In terms of game-play, it is where Bad North is at its best. The concept of defending the islands you visit from swarms of invaders and doing the whole process again until you reach the last island is exciting and hardly grows tiresome. Controlling each unit is simple enough but figuring out what each one works best for the given situation can take a while to get used to. All the skills and items are a blast to mess around with. However no matter how well equip you are for combat, it all goes down the drain with weak strategies. After the Jotunn update, which fix a lot of bugs that I ran across with and added some nice content to boot, I am much more pleased with how it turned out.
