Storyline

After years of tireless explorations, brave Vikings have discovered a new land filled with mystery, danger and riches: Northgard.

The boldest Northmen have set sail to explore and conquer these new shores, bring fame to their Clan and write history through conquest, trading, or devotion to the Gods.

That is, if they can survive the dire wolves and undead warriors roaming the land, befriend or defeat the giants, and survive the harshest winters ever witnessed in the North.

Northgard is one of the prettiest titles in the genre, and with a very addicting gameplay loop, players are sure to spend several dozen hours to it.

Great game. Plays super well and surprisingly easy on Switch! Graphics look decent and I’m quite happy with them -obviously not as good as PC.Great game. Plays super well and surprisingly easy on Switch! Graphics look decent and I’m quite happy with them -obviously not as good as PC. Had probably around 20 hours worth of gameplay if I’m not mistaken and the campaign was good. Controls are really good on switch! Cons - online multiplayer literally has no switch players and you’ll be waiting ages to play a game. Maybe they should let us cross play with PC players? Really disappointed with the lack of players online. Other than that buy this game on sale I got it for £12.50! Highly recommend!

A really great game, super simple so if your not into that look elsewhere but a really great game. i have gotten many hours in on this gameA really great game, super simple so if your not into that look elsewhere but a really great game. i have gotten many hours in on this game with friends and its simple enough (amount of available buildings) that i feel like almost anyone can pick this game up and go. I absolutely loved the campaign to recover the horn was fun and couldnt stop playing to see where it ended up, With most games like this i gave it a 9 because i feel like they could have developed more campaigns to play in this style without breaking any kind of budget.

I haven't played strategy games since the Command & Conquer days quite honestly. I thought it's important to mention where I'm coming from,I haven't played strategy games since the Command & Conquer days quite honestly. I thought it's important to mention where I'm coming from, and that I'm not hardcore into RTS games.Northgard looked pretty simple in that regard (in a good way), kind of what a strategy game would look like on a Nintendo switch.Well, the problem is that it's mostly about defending your base from wave after wave of enemies landing on your island. Even with the upgrade system, it gets tedious after a while without variety. Like for example you taking the fight to the enemy, or setting ambushes at sea. Overall, I didn't finish the game, it was fun for a short while, but if you are not much into the basic premise of the game, there isn't much else that will sustain the interest.
