    Really enjoyed this game. Just wish it was longer. Gameplay is fun and addicting, hours flew by while playing it.

    Una pequeña maravilla. Estrategia en tiempo real muy bien adaptada para una consola

    Fun but simple game-play mechanics. The game gets to the end still difficult. I like it very much that you can´t really pause the game during the combat to think what you need to do next. This sense of urgency is enhancing the experience with the game.

    Quite relaxing but difficult rogue-like RTS Game, with a beautiful minimalism and a charming design and OST, I had a lot of fun and really enjoyed the simplicity. But the difficulty curve it's definitely not the best.

    Un RTS muy bueno, te da la opción de jugar facil, con reinicio o dificil sin el, es entretenido las primeras horas pero tiende a hacerse repetitivo

    The minimalist design and deceptively challenging randomly generated world really has me hooked. Very much pick up and play, and it's just as comfortable for 20 minutes as it is over too many hours in to the early morning

    Brilliant fun until the difficulty level reaches Valhalla and you risk losing the entire game. [Dec 2018, p.94]

    I was completely enthralled with Bad North‘s simplified take on the RTS and its straightforward yet tactical gameplay – up until I died the first time. There are some neat ideas here, but the roguelike structure highlights its weaknesses more than its strengths. The brilliant minimalism is really only intriguing the first time around; all other times you’re trudging your way back to the part where it gets interesting, then suddenly losing it all.
