## What is Northgard?

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.

I need Chinese Chinese Chinese

### 5/5 — Fun and challenging game.

*2026-08-14, version 2.2.10_epic*

Lots of replayability and harder modes require some real strategy.

### 4/5 — Please update

*2026-08-12, version 2.2.4*

This is the best game on the App Store. A quality of life update and bug fix would be appreciated

### 1/5 — Ai is screwed

*2026-08-12, version 2.2.4*

Custom domination is impossible because ai not constrained by gold, food or military buildings.  Also they don’t seem to fight each other. This is a really unfair system and ruins the game.  Please fix or refund me

### 5/5 — Really good game

*2026-08-11, version 2.2.4*

Really good game but I hope you guys update to add the newer dlcs

### 1/5 — 🫩

*2026-08-08, version 2.2.10_epic*

Buns waste of money don’t play

### 2/5 — Incomplete to the pc version on steam

*2026-07-26, version 2.2.4*

I love the game. I’m more than angry with this version however, as it is incomplete. I didn’t discover this until purchasing all of the DLC, and this being the second full purchase of the game (first time on steam for my old pc) it’s turned me off completely.

### 4/5 — ngôn ngữ

*2026-07-24, version 2.2.10_epic*

tôi cần ngôn ngữ việt nam

### 5/5 — Could you add Chinese language support

*2026-07-18, version 2.2.4*

Could you add Chinese language support

### 5/5 — Love hate relationship

*2026-06-22, version 2.2.4*

I love this game, but I’m so tired of the glitches.  I play multiplayer with my kids against the AIs.  We spend 3-4 hours playing, and then something happens, the game locks up, and that’s it.  Sometimes it’s trying to sharp eye a zone, send the lightening with a relic, or just a really big battle with a lot of units.  

If you sit there, it’s just locked up indefinitely.  If you swipe up, and come back in to the multi player menu, you have about a 25% chance that you can get back in.  So pretty much every game one of us gets locked out and can’t finish the game.
