A real-time strategy taking place in a fantasy universe inspired by Nordic mythology and the Viking way of life. Northgard allows the players to lead a group of Vikings, who after years of tedious exploration have found a mysterious, resource-rich land. To attain their goal of fame and fortune, they will have to face numerous dangers scattered across the new land.
Northgard for PC is a real-time strategy taking place in a fantasy universe inspired by Nordic mythology. The game was developed by Shiro Games, an independent studio previously known for Evoland, an original series of action-adventure games.
The plot of the game tells a story about a group of wiking explorers, who after years of tedious journeys discover a mysterious, resource-rich land called Northgard. The most courageous of the sailors quickly decided to explore it, wanting to bring fame and glory to their gods and clans, and become a part of history. However, before they can return to their homes, the group will have to face the numerous dangers awaiting them in the new world.
Northgard’s gameplay was inspired by classic real-time strategy games series such as Age of Empires, Age of Mythology, or The Settlers. The developers didn’t limit themselves to replaying typical genre staples like resource gathering, settlement expansion, and group on group combat. As the action of the game takes place in far north, Shiro Games decided to introduce survival elements: one of our objectives is to care for our clan’s safety and survival during long and frosty winters. The list of our enemies is also more in a shape of a fantasy game: bloodthirsty wolves, undead warriors, and a wide range of mythical creatures, including mighty giants with whom we can become friendly with, or if this doesn’t work out, proceed with the only proper solution – combat.
Northgard is complemented by detailed 3D graphics with a light comic-book design, and employs an isometric camera. Certain design choices and the game’s light-heartness may evoke the latest installments of The Settlers series.

Game Ratings for Northgard Video Game.
The Digital Fix: 7 / 10 by James Eckhoff
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.
SA Gamer: 8.5 / 10 by Garth Holden
Northgard takes some of the best elements of your favourite old RTS games and breathes life into them with an economic management twist. A tighter campaign would launch this into greatness.
God is a Geek: 8 / 10 by Dale Emasiri
Northgard is a must-play game for fans of the genre and could serve as a very good starting point for the newcomers who are just discovering RTS games for the first time.
