Description

Bad North DOES NOT support: iPhone 5S, 6, 6 Plus, iPad Air/Mini 2, 3/iPod Touch 6th gen and lower

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.

Key Features

REAL-TIME TACTICS ROGUELITE: Position and relocate your troops to fend off the Vikings, who each have their own counters to the threats you pose. Pick your battles and plan your evacuations carefully! Lose a commander and they’re gone forever; lose everything, and it’s game over!

INTELLIGENT UNIT CONTROLS: You command the broad strokes of your defenses and monitor positioning — your soldiers do the rest, navigating and engaging intuitively in response to the situation at hand.

PROCEDURALLY-GENERATED ISLANDS: Each island is both stylistically charming and unique in its layout. Plan your strategies around every nook and cranny, for you only get one chance to save them from the enemy invasion.

UNLOCKABLE UPGRADES: A stronger, smarter defense leads to greater rewards. Use these to develop your subjects from a ragtag militia into seasoned warriors.

A nice little game

I was worried about choosing to download this game, since so many had complained or crashes. So far, I’ve not had any crashes on my iPhone 7s. So it’s all good for me in that respect. I love the simple but enchanting islands of this game. I just wish there was a bit more, both in terms of gameplay and in terms of visuals. Being minimalist in design doesn’t mean it has to be minimalist in content and variation as well. However, it’s still a good game and is what I expected it to be. I gave it 4 stars for being good but not great. If it had been buggy, I would have rated it lower. For me, it was worth the purchase. But the main reason for my review is simply to say that I personally have had no crashes, which is the more important thing given other reviews.

great game but crashes :(

I absolutely love this game but unfortunately on the third turn of playing it crashed, and has been crashing on the loading screen ever since 😖i’ve i restarted my phone, deleted and reinstalled but that hasn’t seemed to help unfortunately.
I currently play on an iphone 11 with ios 14.0.1 installed and i’m super devastated as i was enjoying playing it so much, but hopefully this problem can be solved!

Spiritual successor to Myth by Bungie

Game reminds me of the original Myth game by Bungie two decades ago. Has a similar feel, but is unique in its own original and quirky way. I am not a fan of simplistic casual gaming but this one is very good and tactically it is a real challenge. Love the art work, music and general old world feel of this offering. Certain to be a classic. Fantastic.

PLEASE, PLEASE THE DEVELOPER: Could we have a version where we play as the enemy in either defence or attack. That would be so cool!
