Summary

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.

Languages: Chinese, Dutch, English, French, German, Italian,
Japanese, Korean, Portuguese, Russian and Spanish.
