At first glimpse this game may remind you of games like the settlers, but it’s more than just that. Northgard is a game about building a settlement, exploring the beautiful world, and capturing land. Its a relaxing game, with no pressure to move forward if you dont wish to do so. If you want to just concentrate on farming, building and raising a civilization in your very own village then Banished may be a good game for you!

Steam is currently listing the game in the top ten, as many fans of the building and exploration genre try out Northgard. It is developed by a small team, with a lot of attention to detail. The animations are polished, and the graphics are eye candy for anyone who appreciates this sort of game. Northgard is about Vikings, so a little bit of click combat with no aiming skill required is part of the game design, but don’t let this get you sidetracked, if you wish to stay away from it, you sure can.

Northgard is very close to another indie game released earlier called Banished. Banished is an adorable take on the traditional simulation building game. You have to build your own civilization, feed them take care of them, and essentially make sure they don’t freeze too much during winter. With big farming, and building elements this is the perfect game to sit back relax, and enjoy your little ant farm. Banished unlike Northgard features little to no combat, and your only challenge is to take care of your very own village. It is currently available on Steam here. We have attached a trailer for the game bellow.
