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.

This and every other Pro feature is free until October 20, 2026. A free account is all it takes.
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.

很好玩,等更新
good game very enjoyable if you like this type of game,i saw a youtuber called Draegast play a couple years ago and decided to play on it last year quite fun but do understand it tends to get repetitive after the first completion run (but that may vary on different people so do keep that in mind! :3)
Good game
[h1]Bad Nord ma Good Fury[/h1] Perdonate l'inglesismo..Salve! Scrivo questa recensione in data 29/07/2026 alle ore 20:39 e sono molto contento di cosa hanno creato con quesa magnifica opera d'arte. Il videogioco detiene del potenziale e della bellezza immensi nonostante sia un giochetto di seconda mano, e questa è una cosa GRANDIOSA, dico, trovare una piccola perla che non debba per forza essere un videogioco di 100 ore pieno di trame intricate ma semplicemente un passatempo che ti dia emozioni e sfida. Partirei dal prezzo: 15 euro sono troppi per un giochetto simile, questo dovrebbe stare secondo me sui 7/8 euro in quanto ribadisco che è un giochetto simpatico ma non profondo👎 Però nel mio soggettivo sono soldi ben spesi perché mi ha dato molto, inoltre l'ho preso in sconto a pochi spicci, quindi ben venga.👍 Trama: Ribadendo che è un giochetto, la trama funziona molto bene e non lascia spazio a fraintendimenti, quindi sono soddisfatto delle ambientazioni e dagli scopi proposti del gioco👍 Giocabilità: Una delle migliori mai viste per essere un gioco dove posizioni le truppe, di solito cose del genere finiscono in strategici da matematico fallito mentre qui sono ben organizzati e divertenti, creando un sistema tranquillo, veloce, intuitivo e simpatico. Sarà richiesta strategia e attenzione, ma senza esagerare, potendo permettere quindi rischi e cali di attenzione senza troppi problemi, oltre che...strategie pazzerelle....ehehehe👍 Musiche: Il comparto musicale non è assolutamente da premio Oscar o da medaglia del presidente, tuttavia funziona molto bene e detiene musiche interessanti e stimolanti, sono molto contento👍 E direi che può bastare, andrei ora ai lati oggettivamente negativi di questa opera. Abbandono: Il videogioco purtroppo sembra essere stato abbandonato, avrei preferito aggiunte di nemici, classi, oggetti...ma nulla, nel momento in cui hai finito il contenuto..e non ci metti una eternità, il gioco dev'essere per forza abbandonato...ed è un peccato, perché questa pigrizia da parte degli sviluppatori grava molto su un giochino simpatico come questo.👎 Effetto casualità: Per quanto tu possa creare strategie efficaci o rischiose ma funzionali, persisterà sempre un sistema di stupida casualità per la quale facilmente butti tutta una partita, tra gli esempi troviamo arcieri che non colpiscono senza un motivo anche se dorati, un nemico che ignora completamente le spadate e sopravvive andando a bruciarti le case, un arciere peloso che ti colpirà anche dietro una casa...insomma, non persiste molta stabilità di gioco e quindi, ANCHE SE RARAMENTE, rischi davvero di buttare ore e ore di gioco per cavolate da due soldi.👎👎👎 Fine, il videogioco secondo me merita molto e per questo darei, anche per ragioni affettive in quanto ci giocavo da adolescente quando saltavo scuola sul telefonino, un bel 8/10. P.S. Qui ho solo 30 orette ma in realtà ho finito questo gioco centinaia di volte...avrò almeno sulle 100/200 ore di gioco tra telefono, portatile e play4, incredibile.
Pretty fun game when you're just looking to kill some time and not think too hard. Some decent replay value from unlocking all the powers/items. I'd still wait for a sale though.
