Inspired by Nordic mythology, Northgard is a real-time strategy game where a Viking clan tries to take control over a wild continent.

For instance, farms will stop producing food during winter, while the consumption of wood will significantly increase during the same period.

[2] In the story, the player plays as Rig, a prince who seeks to avenge the death of his father the High King at the hands of Hagen, the ruthless leader of Clan of the Raven.

The young prince will sail to the island of Northgard to fulfill its mission, and in the process it will meet other clans and creatures.

"[9] Writing for Rock, Paper, Shotgun, Max Cox wrote that Northgard was "easy to pick up but difficult to master", and one of the best real-time strategy games he had played.
