SummaryThey've reworked the campaign progression to show the enemy types on levels, advance the Viking Frontier faster and replaced individual gold with a shared gold pool. This is all comes together to allow you to make much more informed strategic decisions between levels and makes tackling multiple islands per turn a more viable approach.

We literally haven’t got a bad word to say about Bad North. It’s a delightfully well-paced strategy roguelike that’s as fresh on your first run as it is on your 10th, with new features, enemies, skills, and troops drip-fed to you as you play. You’ll constantly be developing new strategies and trying to make the most of your limited number of troops. We have no hesitation whatsoever in recommending it to everyone. That premium price point won’t look so high when you’re on your 10th run.

You are never full in control of things in Bad North, and that’s part of what makes it such a tense strategy game.

it is the only game I would genuinely consider perfect, brilliant sound design, music, replayability, gameplay, and (following a few failed campaigns) if you play on hard with no level restarts you get that perfect balance of suffering devastating defeats by the Viking horde yet still holding on to some hope as you fight on, with the unique characters with different traits and items you collect through your journey you can experience some of the most epic last stand stories conceived.

It's beautiful and simple. Like skyrim this is a nordic game. The controls are simple and easy to use so it is great for new fans of the strategy ****'s so innovative. I love it so much.

Unlock skills, nurture your commanders and do your very best to stay alive in this fascinatingly tricky game of tactics that if anything works even better on a touchscreen than it did on PC and consoles.

Minimalist real-time strategy presented in a pure, direct fashion. Challenging, not too complicated and is great while it lasts (pending bug-fixes).

Bad north is very nice, it has very nice graphics with a simple gameplay that plays with a minimum of **** different enemy troops are **** can be a hundred times better with more structures and more ways to get coins as well as a mode where you attack.

Its a fun game, but I wouldnt argue its worth more than $5. The game becomes very repetitive very fast.
