Bad North: Jotunn Edition

One of the unique roguelite games I have put my hands on. Game has nice minimalistic art style that in its own gives relaxing vibe. Gameplay is simple even IGN moderator could play it.

This game is stupenous. It's fun, engaging, simple, cute, and one of my new favorite games of all time. The only, ONLY gripe I have with this game is the fact that you can permanently softlock yourself out of ever being able to play the game unless you uninstall it by switching the mouse control to touch screen, of which my personal computer doesn't have. I would really like to keep playing this, but I can't because I don't have touchscreen. Other than that, though, the game is amazing. I could play this for hours. I already have played it for hours. Edit: not even uninstalling fixes the problem.

it took me 3 years to beat but from break it took me that long. it so hard but fun that it keeps bringing me back to it even after years

It's a pretty interesting game. I don't even what genre it would fit into (some mix of roguelite tower defense rts? (there are no towers tho).

The art design is nice, play is fun and easy to pick up.

This game is great! It is full of strategy and is very challenging! Just wish I got it during the discount though...

Made me realize how dirty my monitor is. A fun little roguelite tactics game, my only complaint is I wish there was MORE, but sometimes less is more.

I LOVE this viking indie game, for me it checks all the boxes for a defense game, upgrades, strategy and different ways to challenge yourself. if you like medieval/ viking games you WILL love bad north.

Bad North is a minimalist, real-time tactics game that blends charm with challenge. You’ll command tiny Viking squads (spear, sword, and bow units) each with their own strengths in a satisfying rock-paper-scissors rhythm of island defense. It’s easy to pick up, but don’t let the soft art style fool you, strategy matters. Positioning, timing, and smart upgrades will determine whether your warriors stand tall or get swept into the sea. The difficulty ramps at a comfortable pace, allowing your units to grow and your own tactical instincts to sharpen. Personally, I found myself weirdly attached to my little squads. I wasn't just trying to win, I was trying to protect them. Every retreat, every last stand felt personal, and it made victories all the sweeter. Overall, a great pick for players who enjoy tight tactical gameplay with a beautiful, clean presentation.

fun, chill and relaxing yet engaging,

Using basic units to fight off the enemies is great. I like how smooth it is. So smooth!

This game is really funny, nice art, nice gameplay. In my opinion the level are not so well balanced bc some feel really easy, other need many many tries. all in all a good thing for some hours but not for weeks. The utensils would need more explanation. For example the Gabana is a riddle to me and how to use it

Fun but short, catch it on sale.

Best Strategy game I've played. love the artwork and design of the game.

Story: ★☆☆☆☆ Music: ★★★☆☆ Gameplay: ★★★★☆ Overall: ★★★☆☆ Surprisingly complex and micro-heavy despite its simplicity

Fun, chill strategy game with delightful graphics. I love that the rounds are quick and that there's a nice variety in maps. Highly recommend!

Very interesting and unique game, it needs strategic play and it’s complicated at the right level, i hope they will add new enemies and troop

It's just a great game. I, especially, like to graphics: the tress, the grass, the houses, just great. Great regards, Good Puma

Challenging, minimalistic, medieval tactics game. Have played a lot more on a different platform.

Archers for everything. Shield guys for archers and throwers. Spearman for everything but chargers and archers. Archers not on high ground but on shore. Go Normandy. Shield guys for block, only attack to archers. Spearman are you workhorse. 1 archer unit with Ring of Command + Heavy Weapon 1 shield guy with Philosophers Stone + Fleet of Foot 1 Spearman with Jinada + Sure footed 4th unit optional. Jinada is best item, you can farm one more island at the first 5 to 7 islands. 1 Spearman can solo no thrower no archer maps. Losing one gold houses are ok. Hold your islands, enjoy.

Simple, engaging well balanced hack and slash military fun.

fucking bull shit. They never completed the game.

it is a great game and it is easy to have lots of fun.

About as chill as defending versus vikings could be. Very Entertaining!
