I never really liked RTS games, I always preferred city building as opposed to tense and fast strategy like AoE, StarCraft or Warcraft. It feels Northgard is made for people like me. With it's slow paced gameplay it gives me plenty of time to enjoy expanding the settlement, as well as keeps you entertained with some challenges. I can recommend this game to anyone who is looking for a little bit of lay-back but still an RTS game. I only play campaign so far and I love it :)

This game is actually awesome. I read that it was a cross between Civ and RTS games and I went.... huh? what does that even mean? Then I bought the game for like $5. I have around 140 hours in it (a couple of days I was in offline mode) and have found that the solo player stuff alone is definitely worth it. I dont play online games so I have no idea about that department but if you are looking for a good RTS game I recommend this one. The factions are almost all entirely unique and play very differently.

Northgard is a great game. My husband and I loved classic Warcraft, and this game is so like that. We have been playing Conquest together for several year now. There have been some bugs here and there, but anymore we don't have any problems.

I started my Northgard journey around 2022. What a ride it has been. Northgard scratched an itch I had for a game similar to Warcraft. Maybe it’s a weird comparison, but the campaign, the different clans, and their own perks reminded me of the many hours I spent playing Warcraft III. The story introduces you to all the main clans: Goat, Bear, Crow, Stag, and Boar. The best way to get into the game, before starting Conquests or going into multiplayer, is to play the Saga of Rig. Since I started playing, the main game has had a few additions. A new campaign with new clans, including the clan of the Lion, inspired by Western Europe rather than the Norse mythos, the game got us used to. As previously mentioned, the best way to get accustomed to the new gameplay of these clans is to play the campaign. It is definitely a new way to play the game, and it has a bit of a learning curve if you’ve been used to the other clans. Another addition to the base game is three clans that were DLCs before. The clan of the Snake is very fun, and I recommend playing it. I think it fits beginners due to its gameplay. Then we have the clan of the Dragon, which, if you thought the Wolf clan was barbaric, takes it up a notch and is fully focused on offence. Lastly, the clan of the Horse, which combines offence with a bit of strategy and defence. I wouldn’t call myself a fan of this clan, but it was fun playing with them. Northgard is a game that keeps on growing. The team releases new clans regularly; some are more fun than others. This new Definitive Edition of the game showcases everything you need to know about it, things that hardcore fans learned step by step. This is the perfect moment to become a Northgard fan. Shiro Games Studio has struck gold with this one, and I am glad to see a team devoted to bringing fun and diversity to their game.

This is very easy to learn, has a compelling story line and many different single player modes as well as multiplayer. I don't really consider myself a gamer but I was quickly able to learn the mechanics of the game and find it a great way to spend my free time. Most chapters in story mode can be won in an hour or two. Each clan has different abilities and building that add variety and make you learn new skills to progress, so you don't feel like you just keep playing the same game over an over. The graphics are nice if a bit repetitive. It is well worth getting the additional clans in DLC to add new aspects to the game. This review is written by me, a human, not AI. Maybe not the most polished review but it's real.
