The characters in the game are cartoony the landscape includes a lot of greenery and animals and everything looks cheery and colorful, with a vibrant palette.
Northland uses the same 2D, isometric graphics engine as 2002's Cultures 2. Thankfully, a useful set of tutorial missions is included to help ease players into Northland's interface. Those who are new to the series, however, may feel intimidated at the outset by the seemingly dozens of buttons and info boxes that pop up anytime you click on something. The graphics and interface are just about identical, so longtime fans will feel right at home. Once in the game, Cultures veterans will find that not a whole lot looks different in Northland from Cultures 2. Only by going into our video card properties and disabling DirectDraw and Direct3D acceleration were we able to play Northland. With some more research, we finally discovered a work-around to the problem on an ATI-enthusiast site. After combing through the game forums, we learned that this issue seems to afflict all recent ATI Radeon cards, including the 9500, 9600, 9700, and 9800 series.

Unfortunately, there's currently no patch for the game, nor is there any troubleshooting information. Launching the game would allow us to view the opening cinematic, and then we were dumped to a black screen that presented us with just a cursor.

The game's campaign is spread out over eight missions, and you can also play an additional eight stand-alone missions that are unrelated to the story. As a result, he calls upon his friends for help. After saving the world in Cultures 2, Hachi and Sigurd have returned to their homelands, but Hachi soon finds that his homeland is overrun by enemies.
Northland follows the story of a wandering band of Vikings, led by a quartet of heroes named Bjarni (son of the famous explorer Leif Ericsson), his lover Cyra, and their friends Hachi and Sigurd. It takes a while to make heads or tails out of all of these buttons. A showstopping technical glitch that affects ATI cards may keep some players from even loading the game at all.
