Bad North: Jotunn Edition - Reviews, Revenue and Downloads - Apple App Store

Description

Bad North DOES NOT support: iPhone 5S, 6, 6 Plus, iPad Air/Mini 2, 3/iPod Touch 6th gen and lower

Your home is under attack. The king is dead at the hands of Viking invaders. Hope is a distant glimmer in the fog, fading fast with every passing moment. As you rise to take your father’s place as ruler, it will fall to you to stage your defenses. But make no mistake – this is no fight for victory, but a desperate grasp for survival.

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.

Key Features

REAL-TIME TACTICS ROGUELITE: Position and relocate your troops to fend off the Vikings, who each have their own counters to the threats you pose. Pick your battles and plan your evacuations carefully! Lose a commander and they’re gone forever; lose everything, and it’s game over!

INTELLIGENT UNIT CONTROLS: You command the broad strokes of your defenses and monitor positioning — your soldiers do the rest, navigating and engaging intuitively in response to the situation at hand.

PROCEDURALLY-GENERATED ISLANDS: Each island is both stylistically charming and unique in its layout. Plan your strategies around every nook and cranny, for you only get one chance to save them from the enemy invasion.

UNLOCKABLE UPGRADES: A stronger, smarter defense leads to greater rewards. Use these to develop your subjects from a ragtag militia into seasoned warriors.

Great game......

Love the game itself. The gameplay is challenging and refined. My only gripe is that it crashes A LOT on my ipad.

“Great, but could be better”

This game is so good, the gameplay and mechanics feel great, and the art/style the devs chose was so friggin cool. It’s a really cool and great game, definitely get it if you are looking for a cool roguelike to play and kill time with, definitely worth the 4 dollars you pay to get it BUT, in my opinion, it could be better. The game would really benefit from more “classes” which you could unlock, maybe a class focused on trapping or stunning enemies, maybe one focused on high ranged damage on a single enemy (like those Vikings that through telephone poles at you, or whatever they through don’t really know) and maybe a class focused on healing, that would be great, not brining back dead commanders no, that’s the holy grails job, and class which brings back dead troops, maybe 2-5 at a time ( you could increase the number of resurrected troops when upgrading him) but never bringing back commanders, since that would be way to broken, oh and also make sure his damage output isn’t good, if he even can deal damage. And maybe you could make a DLC where YOU play as the Vikings, which would be sick. However, that’s just my opinion, it would really make the game better but the game right now, is definitely 5 stars, I just would like to see those things get added, you know a little more content after you beat the main game and get the idea, through like 3 more classes at em to give the players more content. NO CLUE if the devs will even see this but if they do, please add the stuff I mentioned, if you can of course, I know being a dev is probably hard, or maybe not i don’t know, oh and also thank you SO much for making such a good game.

More please

I have had this game for 2 years, and i love it! But after a couple of wins, it just gets harder and less enjoyable. However, if a new unit is introduced in later game, it would be more fun, and hopefully slightly easier. Some crashes happen every so often, but usually they are just annoying, and not game changing. But please. ADD MORE TO THE GAME!!! It’s so good, it just needs a little more variety!

Really great - needs AppleTV version

This is very well crafted. I’ve been playing it on and off for years. Friends and family really enjoy it too. We all agree, this would be awesome on AppleTV. I realize it’s a wish, but hey. Thanks for creating such a fun and thoughtful game. Best!

One of the Best

No game has no flaws, no matter what game it is. But in light of the recent mobile game crisis, I have to say that this is one of the best mobile games ever. I’ve played this game so many times and it never ceases to amaze me. Amazing, amazing game. It’s really refreshing to play a mobile like this; one that has actual time and effort put into it. Beautiful

By far the best game on earth

After playing for a year I’ve had no problems at all and it’s been a great experience. I Just wish they didn’t abandon this game because it has so much potential and of course it’s good at where it’s at right now. But I would love to get more traits and units, I wish they’d come back to this game but it likely will not happen other then that 10/10

Bad north

Now that they’ve fixed the save bug this game is a perfect ten out of ten play it

Abandoned a great game

I don’t know why the devs have abandoned this game. It was GREAT! Update or sequel please!

Crashing problem

I love this game to the very core, but alas it keeps crashing every time around the 6th campaign. I’ve tried reinstalling app several times and starting new campaigns. Mostly crashes when the new island has a lot of enemies. To be fair I am running on a iPhone 7 lol

I love this game

This is the only game I have ever reviewed I have spent so many hours on this game. please add on to this game or create a sequel!
