Northgard, developer Shiro Games’ acclaimed real-time strategy affair, is heaving its Viking-themed heft onto iOS devices today, 13th April.
Northgard, if it’s so far managed to pass you by, is a game of exploration, resource management, and land acquisition, tasking players with establishing and expanding a thriving Viking settlement – a process that involves constructing specialist buildings, maintaining production loops, and maiming ne’er-do-wells, both humans and mythological, along the way.
It’s a wonderful thing, both brutal and elegant, packed full of tough decisions and various strategic wrinkles depending on the particulars of your chosen clan.
