Hey, Settlers fans…
Shortly into starting up this trailer forNorthgard, a city-building real-time strategy game about viking voyagers, I hit pause to see if it would make it out in 2016 unlike so many other games getting announced this time of the year. It will! And that’s great, because it looks wonderful.
On the unfamiliar continent of Northgard, you’ll raise a settlement, get your people situated in suitable roles, expand, probably take a population hit from the rough winters, lose even more good men to giants, expand again, and continue working your way to your preferred victory condition (conquest, lore, and trading, to name a few). It’s all right here in the short-but-sweetSteam description.
This looks and sounds good enough that I figuredNorthgardwas in development at a newish studio formed by veterans or a company whose name I didn’t recognize but whose games I would. Turns out it’s Shiro Games, the studio behindEvolandandEvoland 2. Branching out was a wise decision.
