Bad North

A real-time tactics roguelite about defending small islands from Viking landings.

Our take

Recommended for players who like compact positioning decisions with lasting consequences.

Procedural island layouts and troop counters give a small set of commands strategic variety.

Keep in mind: Commander losses matter, though Jotunn adds optional restarts, checkpoints and a limited resurrection item. Charming art still depicts violent combat.
