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.
