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.
This is an awesome game, but I do have problems with crashes.It has crashed every fifteen minutes ever since I played, which normally was nothing more than an inconvenience because the game takes about 20 seconds to load and it didn’t crash in missions. But the more I turned up the difficulty, the more crashes happened, (more enemies to load i guess) and now i’m 84% of the way through my hard campaign and it wont even let me enter any missions. I hope I can still play this game but I’m not sure if it’s gonna fix itself. I don’t know when the last update was, or whether it’s supposed to be compatible with my device but I don’t have much hope of them getting it fixed.
Worth every dollar
Just your everyday person 2
This game was very entertaining and challenging. It’s artwork is just beautifully done in an anime style. You start out with 2 clans and try to defend the island from waves of enemies. Winning the fight gives you loot as coins which you use to buy upgrades for clans. Theres a good amount of skills and special items to unlock as you delve deeper into the map, defending increasingly more challenging islands. I completed the game on easy, normal and hard, however, very hard just took the fun out of it for me. I did enjoy creating my own challenges like trying to win with only one type of clan (archers were capable of defeating up to level hard.) lot’s of laughs watching them slaughter each other and some battles get down to the last man standing. I wish there were more games like this.
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!
