It happens to me on a lot of RTS games so as not to worry. I guess I was getting attacked at my main encampment was lost. I started invading the final area to victory, only to have DEFEATED appear on my screen with no explanation why. Feeling confident I was about to win and show that my time spent had improved my RTS skills. For example, I was making ground and getting ready to defeat the opposing forces. Even during the frustration of my lack of skills. I know this sounds like I didn’t enjoy Northgard but I actually did. My main game time was set in Skirmish Mode and seeing how long I could last before suffering an inevitable defeat. I really couldn’t care less about them, so the story mode is effectively one large tutorial. For me, Northgard doesn’t deliver on this front. I love a story and I love to feel invested in the characters. For me, Northgards backstory and narration is less than memorable. The text is tiny and definitely needs to be fixed in my opinion.

Northgard has been made for players to sit six inches away from the screen. The one negative I found is the damn text. Everything is crisp and clear on the UI and graphical front. Tutorial wise, Northgard does a fine job guiding you into the gameplay. There is no easy skill level to help me relax into Northgard.

First off as I started this game I realised I couldn’t cop out with switching this game over to easy mode. Northgard has a tutorial which I’m grateful for, I’m curious about the translation of this game to a joypad. Not because I don’t like them, but because I suck at them. I admit I’m not a massive RTS fan with an exception for a few WWII RTS games. It’s available now on PlayStation 4, Nintendo Switch, Xbox One, Microsoft Windows, Macintosh operating systems, Linux.Īs I have mentioned already, Northgard is an RTS game. Northgard has been developed by Shiro Games and published by Shiro Games and Merge Games. Today I’m looking at the RTS game Northgard on the PS4.
