Northgard

79 /100
07 mars 2018 14½ Hoursh

Northgard, développé par Shiro Games et édité par Playdigious et Shiro Games, est sorti le 7 mars 2018. Ce jeu de stratégie s'appuyant sur la mythologie nordique place le joueur à la tête d'un clan de Vikings luttant pour le contrôle du continent mystérieux de Northgard, découvert après des années d'explorations. Il convient d'y bâtir une colonie, d'assigner aux Vikings divers rôles comme fermier, guerrier, marin ou érudit, et de gérer les ressources pour survivre aux hivers rigoureux et aux ennemis, tout en visant des conditions de victoire variées telles que la conquête, la renommée, la sagesse ou le commerce. L'exploration permet d'étendre le territoire et de faire face à des loups féroces, à des guerriers morts-vivants et à des géants, dans un récit où Rig, fils du haut roi assassiné, part sur les traces de Hagen jusqu'à la seconde partie située en Neustrie. Disponible sur PC, Mac, Linux, Android, iOS, PlayStation 4, Nintendo Switch et Xbox One, le titre utilise le moteur Heaps et propose plusieurs modes dont la Conquest jouable en solo ou coopération avec plus de cent heures de contenu, le multijoueur et le mode Histoire. Classé parmi les genres simulation, stratégie, RPG, indépendant, tour par tour et temps réel, il affiche un temps de histoire principale d'environ quatorze heures et demi et près de quatre-vingt-huit heures pour le perfectionnisme, avec un prix de 9,79 euros. La presse et les joueurs ont dans l'ensemble salué sa réalisation soignée et sa boucle de jeu addictive, comme le relève GameGrin qui évoque l'un des plus beaux titres du genre, tandis que certains joueurs regrettent un équilibrage imparfait et des unités difficiles à éliminer. Le score Metacritic s'établit à 81 et l'OpenCritic à 79.

Critiques de la Presse (Metacritic)

GameGrin 90/100

« Northgard is one of the prettiest titles in the genre, and with a very addicting gameplay loop, players are sure to spend several dozen hours to it. »

GRYOnline.pl 85/100

« Northgard is a surprisingly great game. It will appeal both to fans of The Settlers series and to enthusiasts of multiplayer strategies. Additionally, it sounds nice, looks decent and it has a high replay value. Even the single-player campaign is well-made and interesting. Northgard is a great example of perfecting the use of Early Access. »

GameStar 84/100

« Completely well-made indie-building strategy game that doesn't have to hide from genre competition. Odin would be proud. »

PC Gamer 84/100

« Northgard is a surprising, elegant RTS that's laden with a very dull story. »

SpazioGames 80/100

« Northgard is a good and different RTS that brings back the memory to The Settlers series. It has few mechanics, but all works well. »

God is a Geek 80/100

« Northgard is a must-play game for fans of the genre and could serve as a very good starting point for the newcomers who are just discovering RTS games for the first time. »

PlayGround.ru 80/100

« Northgard can be a good replacement for The Settlers in the absence of a new part of the series. »

Strategy Gamer 80/100

« Veterans of the genre will love this mash-up, but newcomers will buckle under the weight. Writing aside, it’s a mighty fine attempt. »

Avis des Joueurs (Metacritic)

junglewolf 7/10

« Northgard is a well-made RTS with beautiful visuals, a great soundtrack, a more cartoonish art style, and mechanics that set it apart from its inspirations (Age of Empires, Age of Mythology, etc.). It introduces city-building concepts such as happiness, food management, and seasonal changes into the classic RTS formula, making matches both more challenging and **** game features a good variety of Viking clans, each with its own unique traits, although there isn't much military diversity among the base-game clans—a weakness that is partially addressed by some of the DLC clans. Overall, there is also a limited variety of military units and upgrades, which may make the game less appealing to players who enjoy large-scale battles.Surprisingly, matches require constant combat against the wildlife and mythical creatures scattered across the map (yes, the game fully embraces Norse mythology). The campaign tells a simple, folklore-inspired story with solid voice acting, and it does a decent job of teaching the game's fundamentals, even if some mission objectives can be a bit unclear at times.Skirmish matches against the AI offer limited customization: you can choose the map size, your clan, and the difficulty, but not much else. There are multiple victory conditions, including economic and military, but you can't restrict the match to a single victory type, which, in my experience, makes it harder to focus on a specific strategy.Some clans feel unbalanced, especially the DLC ones, which introduce unique military units. Overall, I found the new ideas that Northgard brings to the RTS genre quite interesting, despite the fact that the harsh climate and map hazards are constantly slowing you down in one way or another, along with the balance issues in skirmish matches. I think it's well worth checking out if you're a fan of the genre. »

« Love the graphics on this one, real time strategy game based on Norse Mythology. »

Sorcererrr 8/10

« böyle oyunlarda 200 saatim olsun 1 sene oynamıyım direk aklımdan siliniyo anlamıyorum nasıl oluyo ama northgard hem basitliğiyle hemde o ağızda bıraktığı güzel tatla beni benden aldı »

bigvampire 10/10

« Лично я ещё фанат Populous : The Begining , (только там были шаманы да палки) был приятно удивлён такому же сеттингу и атмосфере. Очень приятная для глаз графика и малый упор на всякие тыкалки (улучщения). Всё зависит от тебя, твоих действий. Насколько быстро сожрут звери или приплывут недруги на посудинах в самую неожиданную точку твоих владений. Ещё в раннем доступе я понял что эта игра стоит моего убитого времени. Брать однозначно! »

Blenderhead 4/10

« The Northgard UI in a nutshell: Huge notification that takes up a quarter of the screen and lingers for 30 seconds: ERIC THE RED'S WIFE has GAINED WEIGHT! He no longer FINDS HER ATTRACTIVE and it's causing a STRAIN ON THEIR MARRIAGE! 6 pixel icon in the lower left corner that you need to mouse over to read: The **** Dragon will attack your town in 60 seconds. »

mugen_is_here 4/10

« A very interesting and beautiful strategy game completely broken due to certain functional bugs. You decide which buildings to place in each region you own. Keep conquering more regions as you go along. Sounds good right? Wrong. There can be invaders. A simple wolf can easily kill 2-3 villagers because they're incapable of properly defending themselves. You're allowed ONLY 1 tower per region. That's it! And that 1 tower is good as useless in attacking because most of the time the enemies will break down the tower (without a single death). So you're basically left with defending with your warriors (which are severely limited BTW). Either you spread out to defend (you cannot attack with the remaining 1-2 units). OR, you focus on attacking and let the villagers die. To fix this problem, there should have been no limits on the number of towers, the villagers should have been stronger (or the towers should have been at least 3x stronger). Makes no sense to ever construct a tower. Another problem is earthquakes that will set fire to your buildings while the villagers stroll by and you search everywhere to find those buildings. Instead, the villagers could have repaired the buildings on their own rather than you having to micromanage them at that level. »

« NEED NEW DEVOLOPERS! 1)The game doesn't work without vpn, it often crashes, devolopers just ,they just release a new clan every year, get money and don't give a damn about multiplayer, 2)There are so many **** clans, when in order to play the game properly, you need to **** up like that, sit in the lobby, load up several times. 3)Only the balance is constantly being broken( yeah i talking about RAVEN SNAKE AND HOUND IN THIS STATE OF GAME 09.05.2025 ), on low rank if you don't check for opi clans in this patch, you can only fly away like that, they don't play mirror there. 4)So it turns out that in order to play normally, you need to either play in party with friends or spend a lot of **** time studying what is currently broken, unbalanced, etc. + sit in lobbies, load unsuccessfully. The game just needs to burn in order to start playing somehow. But in fact, does their lobby finder fix most of the problems?(No lobby finder ,broke the game completely, now it's impossible to play if the difference is 250 rating units.) But that's why I love it . . . »

X2t 8/10

« A challenging but simpler version of age of empires. Can be confusing at times in terms of how to do specific things. But it is enjoyable to play, even though it is very challenging with such limited space and resources. It is easy to make mistakes that can screw up your game and cause you to backtrack. »
