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.

Great while it lasts

I really like this game. Great artwork, atmosphere, gameplay,etc. unfortunately, it crashes my iPad regularly. Hard locked it a couple of times. Now my game is stuck at 77% and won’t let me proceed. Just keeps crashing. I deleted the app and reinstalled it. This enabled me to proceed about 2 more islands. I’m up to 80% and can’t proceed. Crashing again.

Needs more variety and cleaner controls

Only 3 playable classes while you face around 7 different enemy types. The commander variety is ok but some seem completely useless. I wish this game had more depth as I was really into it at first and then I realized I had experienced most of the game pretty early on. I do hope they release another version of this game because I can definitely see it being a lot more fun with some additions. Some things get cut off by the iPhone notch so you have to flip your phone to see them. There should be a way to select your units rather than tapping on them such as listing then on the side. Many times I mis tapped on the wrong unit. It’s difficult to see which ones are selected.

I love this game but for $3 it crashes way too much

I got this game today and I’m almost finished with my second campaign. On the first one, I got halfway through and then the save wouldn’t load. Now on my second run I’ve gotten 93% of the way through and my save file will sometimes load but then when I go to the next island it crashes. I would give this game five stars because it’s really good but this glitch is gamebreaking so for 3 dollars with constant crashes I can’t justify three stars. Though the game would be totally worth 3 or even 5 dollars if the crashing stopped.

Good but....

When you get to level 72 is impossible to play because every time you get into the game like in the loading screen it says about analyzing something before you get inside the game it will say analyze something I don’t rember and then it crashes I have tried over 15 times to get a work I’m trying to shutting down my iPad tactic reloading and installing again it doesn’t work I just delete my progress when I reload and reinstall so therefore I’m gonna leave a three star review hope the Devs can you fix this

More troops?
Mr.Cushion

I feel like if you had more troops to choose from this game could get a lot better it’s just a suggestion. The game is still one of my favorite time passers!

60% and No Way Forward
Geo-Fry

The game perpetually crashes once I got to just beyond halfway through the campaign. What’s even worse, I messaged their tech support and NO ONE responded. How’s that for customer service and commitment to making something that works. For a pay to play game, I’m a bit disappointed at the level of service given to work the bugs out. The game itself is a wealth of fun, but then it just stops working.

i can’t play
