    Really good RTS and I thoroughly enjoyed playing through the single player campaign - would happily purchase any single player campaign DLC.

    Felt a little different from a lot of RTS, in that expansion needs to be slow and steady for most of each mission.

    I particularly like this game. Of course there is room to improvements BUT its a small game and its fun.

    Northgard is a great RTS
    The game main focus is on colonizing new territories and resources balancing, although you need to fight for almost every territory against creeps or other players.
    There are 11 clans, 5 of them are DLCs with most of the clans have same units. Mainly, the differences between the non-DLC clans is the bonuses and special abilities (some clans have unique units /    Northgard is a great RTS

    There are 11 clans, 5 of them are DLCs with most of the clans have same units.
    Mainly, the differences between the non-DLC clans is the bonuses and special abilities (some clans have unique units / buildings).
    The DLC clans are more different one from another and from the non-DLC clans, by having unique mechanisms like own resources, slaves, sacrifice system and etc.

    The game skirmish has a lot of customization options and with the maps being generated randomly (map starts undiscovered).
    There is only 1 campaign, shared by the 6 non-DLC clan, with a total of 11 missions.
    There is also a conquest campaign, where you choose a clan from all the 11 clans, and you have 11 missions, usually like skirmish but with special rules, and you get bonus for each mission (the maps are generated randomly).    … Expand

    The game is fun. You assign different jobs to the workers and you can create a nice little game. It is also about surviving in harsh weather and fending off draugers. The game is a little slow though. Wish they had a fast version. Hope they continue to make additional titles or improve upon northgard if they ever make a second one.

    A really great game, super simple so if your not into that look elsewhere but a really great game. i have gotten many hours in on this game with friends and its simple enough (amount of available buildings) that i feel like almost anyone can pick this game up and go.

    Прекрасный представитель своего жанра. Проходится комфортно, по кайфу, на одном дыхании. Обязательно загляну еще раз.

    Хороша миленька стратегійка про вікінгів. Анти-спам механіка виглядає дуже свіжою, нагадуючи трохи America Conquest.

    Northgard is one of the prettiest titles in the genre, and with a very addicting gameplay loop, players are sure to spend several dozen hours to it.

    I felt Northgard’s unintuitive rules of territorial expansion needlessly limit my options but once I got used to them I had fun. Look for this game on Steam sales. [05/2018, p.75]

    Northgard is a refreshing and pleasing experience, thanks to the elements it draws from RTS, 4X and even management games.
