## Description

Northgard is a Norse mythology-inspired strategy game where you command a Viking clan to settle, survive, and conquer a mysterious new continent. Build a settlement, assign Vikings to jobs, manage resources, and expand across lands filled with peril and opportunity. Experience the Rig's Saga campaign and engaging multiplayer modes for up to 6 players, including Duel, Free-for-All, and Teamplay. To complete the 11 campaign chapters, you’ll need to master the specificities of the initial six clans and tame the unforgiving Northgard wilderness.

Carefully redesigned for mobile, Northgard brings a revamped interface, Game Center achievements, and iCloud progress sharing. DLC clans such as Snake, Dragon, Kraken, Horse, Ox, Lynx, Squirrel, Rat, and Eagle expand gameplay and are available separately or in bundles, unlocking new tactics as you pursue varied victory conditions across campaigns.
