Northgard, the strategy game from Shiro Games where you control a clan of vikings is coming to Linux tomorrow!

I've been excited about it for quite some time, especially as the developer confirmed it was coming way back in early 2017. Now that the game has been officially released, the developer has announced that tomorrow March 8th, the Linux (and Mac) versions will be released!

Check out the official release trailer:

Features:

  • Build your settlement on the newly discovered continent of Northgard
  • Assign your vikings to various jobs (Farmer, Warrior, Sailor, Loremaster...)
  • Manage your resources carefully and survive harsh winters and vicious foes
  • Expand and discover new territory with unique strategic opportunities
  • Achieve different victory conditions (Conquest, Fame, Lore, Trading...)
  • Play against your friends or against an AI with different difficulty levels and personalities
  • Enjoy dedicated servers and grind the ranks to reach the final Norse God rank!

I already own a copy as their press team sent me a key last year so that I would be ready for the eventual release. Thanks to that, I will be able to have some thoughts up on it once I've been able to play it. It already downloads right now, but the download seems a bit mixed up and doesn't work (might be due to the key I have), hopefully this won't cause me any issues with the actual release.

I'm extremely pleased that Shiro Games are firmly keeping to their word!

Thanks for the tip, TapocoL!

Noting that it is 25% off on Steam at the moment, and the offer ends on 14th March. So... a few days of Linux build and on Sale, coming up.

The game is in my wishlist since begin... I don't bought Windows only version since long time but I know dev can have wishlist stats so... If lot of Linux player have a game in them wishlist, it can be an argument to incite devs !

Instabuy for me.

Damn it, and of course I already own the game since before, so can't even throw money at them for the Linux release.

Steam could really use a donate / gift button for developers, to really show appreciation for things like this.

Looks like The Settlers. How does it compare to The Settlers?
