Hey Vikings,

We've teamed up with Tower Dominion to bring you a special bundle offer with an extra discount!

Best of TD: Sci-Fi & Fantasy

https://store.steampowered.com/bundle/54703/Best_of_TD_SciFi__Fantasy/?curator_clanid=4777282

What connects us in this bundle?

Both Nordhold and Tower Dominion are all about deep strategic defense where your tactical choices are key. You'll find yourselves managing resources, upgrading fortifications, and masterminding the defense against powerful assaults. Whether it's commanding your Viking warriors in Nordhold or unleashing potent abilities during Tower Dominion's siege battles, the core thrill of building an impenetrable line and outsmarting enemy waves is what we both deliver.

This bundle is a double dose of that satisfying strategic challenge!

Cheers

Nando
