Bad North: Jotunn Edition. Raw Fury Strategy. Add to Wishlist. Your home is under attack. The king is dead at the hands of Viking invaders.

Bad North: Jotunn Edition is a cute little real-time tactics-based roguelite that's going for the low low price of free on the Epic Games Store right now.

All you need to claim the game is an Epic Games account and the Epic Games Launcher, both of which are free. You don't need to put in any payment information in order to claim Bad North: Jotunn Edition.

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.

The Jotunn Edition of Bad North includes a completely free eponymous expansion packed full of new features including new items, Commander traits, being able to track your progress in The Codex, a brand new enemy, Very Hard difficulty, and much more.

You can pick up Bad North: Jotunn Edition for free on the Epic Games Store here. It'll be free until the 29th of November, when it'll be replaced by platformer Rayman Legends.

Bad North is a real-time strategy video game developed by Plausible Concept (a game studio in Malmö, Sweden, founded by Oskar Stålberg and Richard Meredith) and published by Raw Fury. The game was released on August 20, 2018, for the Nintendo Switch, then for PlayStation 4 and Xbox One on August 28. A Microsoft Windows version was released on October 16, 2018. Versions for the mobile platforms Android and iOS followed on October 16, 2019.

Gameplay[edit]

Bad North focuses on real-time tactics gameplay, having two game modes: normal and hard mode. The main goal is to defend the kingdom from the attacking Viking invaders who killed the king, and to guide the island's people to evacuate.[citation needed] Islands have different layouts so each poses a different challenge. They are divided into multiple tiles and have houses, with Vikings attacking from any corner, so the player's strategy must be well planned to get the opportunity to save the people from the enemy by protecting the houses. The Viking invaders will chuck torches into the houses, and if they burn completely the player will not earn coins for those houses. Gold is needed to get upgrades for units and level up commanders' defenses. The player can also pick up items (represented as question marks in the map) and add new commanders to the Army.[1]

Expansions[edit]

On July 24, 2019 a free expansion for Bad North called 'Jotunn Edition' was released.[2]
