An update for Bad North

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.

very fun game, but doesnt have much content

Very bare-bones and repetitive, and getting the last two achievements is an absolute slog. The first one is for killing 15,000 enemies, and after 15 hours, I've only gotten halfway. The other is just extremely difficult, with a lot of luck factors involved. It's an interesting idea and looks pretty, but there's no reason to play it again after beating it once.

played the demo, fucking loved it. bought the physical edition for 50$, fucking love it. i just beat the game right now, and there was ONE FUCKING UNIT LEFT, STANDING ON A HILL OF BLOOD AND CORPSES, and i dont mean a whole single team, nah the last single commander. now thats a memory to be treasured. moments where im cornered by barbarians enhance that feeling of pure and visceral war. this game is so good oh my god (buy it for 15$ tho its not worth 50$)

Cool artstyle, fun gameplay, interesting decisions with reasonable risk in-between levels.
