What is it about?
Banner Saga features beautifully hand-drawn combat sequences and animations, accompanied by an evocative score from Grammy-nominated composer Austin Wintory. There are more than 25 characters to choose from in this epic game, but you must be wise in how you play them. Within this RPG, it is all too easy to lose a character permanently if you make poor choices.
For those who...
- Enjoy Norse mythology
- Love tactical combat
Not for those who...
- Aren't fans of Vikings
- Don't enjoy games with deep, compelling storylines
Why we love it
The game features beautiful hand-drawn animations, and provides you with a wealth of characters to choose from. The deep story-driven gameplay changes based on decisions you make, as characters who you allow to die in combat are lost permanently. It's a truly challenging game to master, with hours of fun gameplay.
