Northgard: A Game That Snuck Up The Steam Charts

With so many events happening in the gaming world, it’s often easy to miss out on smaller titles being released. Especially amongst the noise of the Nintendo Switch’s arrival, and the annoyance of the bugs present within For Honor. That said, one game seems to be worth checking out, as its somehow snuck up the steam charts. That game is a little indie number by the name Northgard.



The premise of the game is simple, and explained on the developers website as such: “After years of tireless explorations, brave Vikings have discovered a new land filled with mystery, danger and riches: Northgard. The boldest Northmen have set sail to explore and conquer these new shores, bring fame to their Clan and write history through conquest, trading, or devotion to the Gods. That is, if they can survive the dire wolves and undead warriors roaming the land, befriend or defeat the giants, and survive the harshest winters ever witnessed in the North.”

Looking at the game, it seems a mix between Civilization and Clash of Clan. You are exploring ever outwards in this small game, and meeting not only opposition but also defending against the natural threats of the wild. These threats seem to range from giants to dragons, so watch out.

The game was produced by Shiro Games, and has only just been released. However, it has somehow flew up the Steam charts to the Top ten’s, so give it a check. It’s a pretty cheap by and seems like fun.
