Great game, ♥♥♥♥♥♥ DRM

update: the DRM thing wasn't intentional apparently, so i will remove that part of the review out

You can play as different clan that is specialized in certain things. Game consist of you having to expand your base by claiming territory by territory, balancing economy and resources while pushing the edge towards one of the victory condition. There are also some special territory you can try to conquer to give some benefit for you.

Aside from the enemy faction, there are also neutral faction which you can befriend or conquer, which if you do the former you will gain some benefits depending one what kind of faction they are.

With that said, unfortunately the developer made questionable decision by DRM-ing the game, even the single player part. You can still play the story campaign, but not the SP skirmish or conquest mode. I'd recommend the game it self, but if you are like me and bothered by the DRM, then maybe avoid this one.

Hey D'Cinnamon!

There is no DRM in Northgard outside of the standard Steam DRM. The game will spend about 30s seraching for a connection to a server when you launch, but if it is unable to reach the server, all modes with the obvious exception of Multiplayer are fully accessible after it has finished trying to connect :)

If this is not the case for you, shout me and we'll work otu what's going on for you!

Hope your week is going well,
James

[EDIT] Just talked to the dev team, this is in fact a bug introduced in our most recent update, the tech team are working on this and we should have it resolved asap!
