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.

The virtual pad is too old.  Flick is old too.  The latest is the point-appointing movement along free curves which I invented.  On touch devices, the easiest controlling action RPG is born.  Control Nacchan to eradicate pests.  You only need to touch on your screen.  You attack automatically.  In solo mode, eradicate pests in the cave.  In two play mode, Nacchan battles against Siichan.  With this incredible UI, enjoy this all new action RPG.
