You may remember me mentioning before how worried I\u2019ve been about the Nintendo Switch stealing games that would have been perfect fits on mobile<\/a>. Bad North<\/em>, from Plausible Concept, was one of the games I had in the back of my head whenever I bring up this concern.<\/p>\n

Before they partnered up with Raw Fury, we\u2019d been expecting some kind of mobile release for this game as it\u2019d been a long-standing member of our \u2018Upcoming Games\u2019 lists<\/a>. But when release finally came around, Switch and PC<\/a> were the orders of the day, and mobile news was worryingly absent.<\/p>\n

Now, finally, we can breathe a sigh of relief. The Vikings ARE coming to mobile to take all of our things:<\/p>\n

To re-cap, Bad North<\/em> is a self-proclaimed \u2018Micro\u2019 real-time strategy game where you\u2019re managing a very small force of troops, defending small(ish) islands from waves of blood-thirsty invaders. It\u2019s a game where positioning and type-advantage is important – you want the right unit in the right place, but you want it there ahead of time.<\/p>\n

Other than that, there is some light perma-death and management elements as your forces gain experience and gold. You can level up their abilities, and pick up new troops along the way to bolster your forces (which will need time to heal if they get battered). It\u2019s a pretty cool game, and you read our PC review over on Strategy Gamer<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The game\u2019s actually gotten a lot better since we looked at it, and the mobile version will include all of the free content added as part of the \u2018Jotunn Edition\u2019 update that was deployed earlier this year.<\/p>\n

Bad North will be launching on iOS and Android on October 15th. It\u2019s not coming to Apple Arcade, although publisher Raw Fury think the concept is \u201cneat\u201d.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
