Northgard - PC & Mac (Steam)

Funny and great game :D its good to play it with friends :D I did play this game a long time ago, but it improve big time. The posibility to complete quests and then buy a skins for building or new leader character is just great idea.

Very good RTS involving a mix between economy and military actions, active multiplayer community and smart game-play.

Clans offer different approaches on how to win a game, You cannot go wrong with Northgard :)

Northgard is a city building strategy game, similar to the classics such as “The Settlers” series, but it removes most of the hardcore elements and makes the genre more mainstream and accessible for new players to the genre. This game takes on a Norse setting and theme with army contingent being Viking-like, as are the appearances of the buildings and other structures that you build in the game.

*More Casual or Dumbed-Down?*
The thing this game does different from other games in the genre is that, it removes some of the hardcore mechanics such as, having to have roads connecting buildings and instead this game gives you specific locations to build certain buildings. This ensures that newer players don’t mess up their city design and are eased into the genre.

The game has a story mode with an interesting story, as well as online and co-op modes to build cities with your friends. The story follows some Vikings, who after years of searching for a new home find a suitable location and that is where you take control of the group of survivors. You are not only tasked with setting-up a new home you also have to ensure the clan can thrive and grow in this uncharted area.

*Art Design and Viking Horns*
The art design for the game is stunning. The graphics are also up to par with modern standards. But let me explain why the art style is nearly perfect for this game. The art style gives the game a slightly cartoon-y feel without making it too casual. This one aspect of the game makes it feel very welcoming and open to new players without shunning away hardcore fans. Along with the art design, the music choice and sound design compliments the art in the game perfectly. These 2 aspects of the game elevate the game to a whole new level.

*Better than the Older Games?*
Sadly, while I can recommend this game to everyone, I can’t say it is better than the older games in this niche genre. But I can say this is the right game for this generation of gamers compared to the older ones. Some may say this is a downgrade, but in my opinion it is just designed for the modern market. Definitely worth picking up, but fans of games such as the Settlers series might have to manage their expectations.

It is a nice game, it can offer some pleasant RTS hours. Of course it need more attention to some details as it is still in development.
It reminds me of settlers. I could use some more depth in the game though

Good strategy game, minimalistic design and gameplay but great for causual strategy gamers and oldschool strategy fans who like old warcraft, age of empires or settlers is this must have. One of my best buys!

Un bon jeu, très jolie avec un style un peu cartoon.
Les parties sont assez longues, très sympathique entre amis.
Avant de jouer regardez des tutoriels sur internet pour ne pas être perdu et après dès que l'on sait jouer on s'amuse à fond !

So great game, if you liked civ saga and strategy ones this is for you. You start controlling one viking clan and your goal is to make the city survive and grow up, Constant fixes and new content very often. So nice
