Comment on The Viking combat roguelite Bad North (2018) is truly incredible in bite-sized real-time tactics

The reason I said that is because I found it becomes increasingly engaging and tricky the deeper you survive, breaking up similarity. Did you try different difficulty levels? Some games’ enjoyment can significantly depend on a personally fitting difficulty level, whether hard or easy.

I’m not sure of what the reviews were like back then, but they’re insanely high on Steam, more than even what I had expected.

Did you try different difficulty levels?

Not that I recall. Just normal I suppose. That’s what I usually play games at.

[the reviews are] insanely high on Steam

Not sure we’re talking about the same game?

  We sure aren’t. This post is about Bad North: Jotun Edition! I own that game you mentioned (got it through a giveaway) but never touched it and never will; I don’t play games <80% in Steam review score.

    I checked the reviews of Bad North on Steam as well and yeah, that is very high! Added it to my wish list and let’s see if it’s ever on sale. 😁

    I have no reason to down vote you. We were just having a conversation. Not sure why others are. 🤔
    
    Anyway, I mentioned Jotun because they seemed like similar games. 😁

    Oh, okay. And Jotun is totally different and probably more akin to Hades or any other ARPG. I’d actually liken Bad North almost to FTL, in a sense.
