    A nice game that deserves a good rating. But there are significant drawbacks - the balance. When playing with more than 2 players, balance is completely absent if you play against bots - they attack the player at the same time regardless of who is in the lead and will soon win. The DLC adds 3.5 new units, and costs like a new game, adding even more imbalance. When playing more than 1 on 1A nice game that deserves a good rating.

    Northgard is perfect for those looking for a quick real-time strategy experience and also for those who want to try this type of games for the first time, although its bad design of the HUD is a negative point. Beyond that, Northgard would need a little more depth, variety and game options for the most veteran players.

    Northgard on the Nintendo Switch may be an indie game but that doesn't mean it's not an ambitious work. On the contrary, this immense real-time strategy game offers an almost endless value with its colossal exploration and empire-building mechanics and with an exquisite presentation and a perfectly crafted handheld experience, Northgard is essential for everyone who likes a good, enveloping RTS and anyone beyond that circle as well.

    Northgard certainly is not a bad game by any means, though I felt myself wanting it to be more of a game. Whether simplified for console release or not, I found myself craving more depth throughout my time in this Norse world.
