    Bad North is a nice real time strategy little game. It features some traditional tower defense mechanics with a visual style that reminisces of Islanders, for a very cute, viking-slashing experience. Although the difficulty could be a bit harsh at the beginning, some roguelite elements (powerups for your next run, save points) can aid your battle in consecutive runs.

Even when I enjoyed upgrading & watching my squad of little soldiers fend off vikings, it felt like the experience washed out quite long before the credits rolled. Despite all that, the overall experience is fun for the most part - one thumb up for this cute, bloody indie.… Expand

    Bad North succeeds in making real time strategy accessible to everyone with easy to grasp controls and a straightforward set of tactical choices. However, some may be put off by the difficulty of the latter half, and with just one mode of play at launch, it's a pretty light package. Aside from the occasional bug, the game runs very well, and the miniature battles make for a compelling experience. If you're looking for a streamlined strategy title you can play in your downtime, Bad North is an imperfect but solid solution.
