I had about 12 bad runs in a row when I started BN. I overextended my soldiers. I sent in a bad pairing. I didn't flee when it became obvious I should. I lost over and over and over again. But I didn't stop playing. It was a little worm stuck in my brain. Kinda like the beginning of Bloodborne (or whatever your first Souls game was), losing just encouraged me. I never made it far in those first 12 runs. I didn't really taste the real challenges of the game. I just replayed the intro a dozen times.
There’s a warning from emergency medicine specialists if you have a bad cough that won't go away. The flu is on the rise, but another nasty virus is also going around. For weeks now, there have. Bad North is EVIL-ly good, and Raw Fury has fixed a couple (if not ALL) game breaking glitches and I was actually able to beat the game, and let me tell you, if there's anything that counter-balances the sheer amount of vikings, it would be the tons of big bloody messes, beautifil landscapes, looming atmosphere and strategic fun!
Maybe ballot security isn’t such a bad thing after all. Democrats who the day before yesterday were insisting that voter fraud didn’t exist now believe that it was used to steal a North.
And then it clicked.
The only reward you get for beating Bad North is a sense of pride. You had to be patient. You had to be knowledgeable. You had to be strategic. Defeating the vikings on normal is no easy task. Without extra missions or costumes or what have you, victory still felt excellent. It was a sigh of relief and a raised chin.

I really loved the game until I beat it. As a procedurally generated game, you would think it would have lots of replay value. But once you win, I kinda think you've seen everything there is. And that is okay. It took me a while to get to the finish line so my money felt well spent.
If you like strategy, tower defense, roguelite, or just games that beat you up- give Bad North a shot.

Summary
Bad North is a beautifully-crafted, minimalistic, real-time tactics roguelite game where you lead a rag-tag group of island folk as they flee the relentless viking hordes. Progress through a series of procedurally-generated islands, fending off nordic raiders and gather what resources you can, before moving on to the next fight. Protect the nobles and commoners you meet along the way and recruit them to your cause - you'll need their numbers in the conflict to come.
And keep fighting. Not for power or riches or glory, but for the hope that one day you can live a peaceful life again.
Key Features
- Charming Brutality: The tiny islands and adorable soldiers belie the true violence of war. As each level progresses, the landscape is soaked in the blood of your friends and foes, reminding you this is truly a fight for survival.
- Deceptive Simplicity: Positioning is everything! You control the broad strokes of the battle, and your soldiers do the rest. Holding chokepoints, reacting quickly and knowing when to retreat are the keys to victory. The balance always rests on a knife edge.
- Accessible Depth: Hiding behind simple controls are layers of complex systems, with every soldier individually simulated. Tactical mastery of Bad North comes from feeling out these systems and observing soldiers' behaviours, rather than crunching numbers.
