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.

- unlock commander powers like mines, bombs, reinforcements, and gold income, then build each leader into a specialist.
- watch longboats approach while you study the island map and commit your tiny squads before the landing hits.
- bait axe throws with shieldmen, pull them back, and let the attackers walk into pikemen waiting behind.
- hit slow-motion command mode to redirect squads between landings while they keep fighting on their own.
- turn terrain into a weapon by pinching enemies, forcing them off cliffs, and driving them into the sea.
