Overview

“Northern Wind” is an immersive, tactical dungeon-crawl experience. It combines narrative-driven RPG elements with refined skirmish mechanics, plunging players into a grim struggle for the fate of an empire.

Face a devouring, profane evil with a band of courageous—but unlucky—heroes as you ascend the blighted slopes of Mt. Byōdō. Every choice you make shapes the story across multiple branching storylines.

Gameplay Overview Designed for 1–4 players, Northern Wind delivers a cooperative experience that balances strategy, story, and atmosphere. Players form a party of four heroes, each with unique skills and backgrounds, and progress through three interconnected storylines, each containing 13–20 quests. An optional game master can guide the narrative and control opposing forces.

Accessible but Deep Built as an ideal entry point into tactical dungeon-crawlers, Northern Wind offers a rich mix of exploration, lore, and fast-paced combat. Its tile-based movement system maintains the tactical flexibility of the core skirmish game.

Cross-Compatible Systems The game shares mechanics and miniatures with the Eldfall Chronicles skirmish system. This full cross-compatibility allows players to move easily between the competitive wargame and cooperative dungeon-crawl experiences using the same models and familiar rules.
