Northgard in IOS

Settle. Survive. Conquer.

Walkthrough, Guilds, Tips on this special game

Our Expert Score

90/100

Northgard is a masterclass in 'slow burn' strategy. It takes the classic RTS formula and infuses it with Viking lore and a punishing winter mechanic that makes survival just as important as conquest. Unlike other mobile RTS games that focus on unit spamming, Northgard requires you to manage your villagers with precision—turning them into scouts, farmers, or warriors as the seasons change.

The port to mobile is exceptionally well-handled. The UI has been completely rebuilt to accommodate touch gestures, and the 'auto-assignment' features help reduce the micro-management fatigue. The graphics are atmospheric and the sound of the howling winter wind adds a palpable sense of dread to the gameplay. It’s a deep, rewarding strategy game that treats mobile players with the same respect as PC gamers.

Fix an issue with saves taking a lot of space


Northgard is a strategy game based on Norse mythology in which you control a Clan of Vikings fighting for the control of a mysterious newfound continent.

After years of tireless explorations, brave Vikings have discovered a new land filled with mystery, danger and riches: NORTHGARD.

The boldest Northmen have set sail to explore and conquer these new shores, bring fame to their Clan and write history through conquest, trading, or devotion to the Gods.

That is, if they can survive the dire Wolves and Undead Warriors roaming the land, befriend or defeat the giants, and survive the harshest winters ever witnessed in the North.

FEATURES

• Build your settlement on the newly discovered continent of Northgard

• Assign your vikings to various jobs (Farmer, Warrior, Sailor, Loremaster...)

• Manage your resources carefully and survive harsh winters and vicious foes

• Expand and discover new territory with unique strategic opportunities

• Achieve different victory conditions (Conquest, Fame, Lore, Trading...)

STORY MODE: RIG’S SAGA

The Viking High King is murdered and his Regal Horn is stolen by a man named Hagen.

This event kickstarts a saga that will take Rig, his son and heir accompanied by his right-hand man Brand through the new continent of Northgard.

The continent where he will make new friends and foes and discover a much greater threat than Hagen, and the reasons behind his father’s assassination.
