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.

Gameplay[edit]

Bad North focuses on real-time tactics gameplay, having two game modes: normal and hard mode. The main goal is to defend the kingdom from the attacking Viking invaders who killed the king, and to guide the island's people to evacuate.^{[citation needed]} Islands have different layouts so each poses a different challenge. They are divided into multiple tiles and have houses, with Vikings attacking from any corner, so the player's strategy must be well planned to get the opportunity to save the people from the enemy by protecting the houses. The Viking invaders will chuck torches into the houses, and if they burn completely the player will not earn coins for those houses. Gold is needed to get upgrades for units and level up commanders' defenses. The player can also pick up items (represented as question marks in the map) and add new commanders to the Army.^[1]

Reception[edit]

The game was nominated for Strategy/Simulation Game of the Year at the D.I.C.E. Awards.^[5]
