Epic has today put on offer Bad North: Jotunn Edition to claim for free via the Epic Games Store, taking the place of The Messenger.
Bad North is a real-time-tactics (RTT) title developed by Plausible Concept, a Swedish indie studio founded by Oskar Stålberg and Richard Meredith. Players are challenged with defending an island’s people against the Viking invaders. Islands are procedurally generated, each with a different layout requiring players to devise a different strategy each time.
Jotunn Edition includes a free expansion for the game, introducing new enemy types, a codex system, hero traits, mines, and more. Here’s how the Epic Games Store describes the title:
Position and relocate your troops to fend off the Vikings, who each have their own counters to the threats you pose. Pick your battles and plan your evacuations carefully! Lose a commander and they’re gone forever; lost everything, and it’s game over!
