The Banner Saga
RPG/Turn based/Tactical
Steam Link

So to start out with I spend about 15 minutes browsing the hundred-odd chivalry banners that come included with the game.

Once that's all finished up we can actually start the game!

Right away I like how cartoony everything is. It's not a style you see often in games.

OH HO HO, IT'S TIME TO FIGHT

did I mention that you are viking giants? Because you're viking giants.

Basically this is a tactical RPG. You can also kill like two people at once because you're viking giants with horns growing out of your heads.

MORE FIGHTS

There is a lot more to this game that I can tell, such as skillups for your characters, keeping everybody's morale up as you travel around, and so forth. Unfortunately I ran out of time and wanted to make this post before bed. Maybe more tomorrow if people are interested?

THE VERDICT:

  • pretty interesting art style
  • YOU ARE GIANT VIKINGS WITH HORNS
  • pretty fun so far
  • UI is kind of awkward in places
  • I haven't played enough yet to make a decent analysis, sorry
