Bad North

Your kingdom is drowning in Viking fury, your father lies slain, and your people look to you as their last hope. Welcome to Bad North, the minimalist yet vicious real-time tactics roguelite that turns each idyllic, procedurally-generated island into a blood-soaked chessboard. Don’t let the cute, bobble-headed soldiers fool you: every order you give could spell salvation or doom as you juggle shield-wielding defenders, stoic pikemen, and deadly archers against wave after wave of invaders hungry for plunder.

Between each desperate stand, you’ll hop from island to island, weighing whether to risk it all for coin to upgrade your troops or retreat to fight another day. Every fallen commander is a permanent loss, raising the stakes sky-high in every clash. But when you see your pikemen hold a choke point as archers rain death from above, it’s a tactical symphony worth every tense second. Bad North is charmingly brutal, a pint-sized epic where survival is never guaranteed, but the thrill of the fight is unforgettable.
