I can appreciate it, but I didn’t have fun, I was just frustrated. It’s painfully dull with a remarkable art style and mad props to the team (I believe it’s 3 people from BioWare). What’s more, because the story is split between the real protagonist and some varl (Vikings that are really just lord of the rings elves and dwarves hybrids), you never have a regular recurring team for very long. The battles are all exceedingly challenging but they’re few and far between so you don’t have much of an opportunity to try new tactics or teams. The third game in the Banner Saga trilogy will take into consideration every decision you’ve made in the series so far, and put you under increasing pressure. The tactical rpg element might be brilliant but I wouldn’t know since I never had the opportunity to implement the tactical portion. Many times it feels you’re plugged into unfair situations because it often gives an illusion that you have a choice when really trying the alternative choices still ends in a lose/lose. The city is in the brink of chaos and the mercenary company called Ravens, under the command of Bolverk Bloodaxe, is the only thing holding the city together. The Banner Saga 2 might be a direct continuation of the story told from the first game, but it also presents a refined version of the same turn-based combat and caravan management elements. Between the corruption, smuggling, underground slaving, mass larceny and a rebellious group attempting to usurp the throne, Guardsman Eirik’s life shows no signs of getting any easier. You can keep morale up by feeding folks, you can rest to restore morale but lose stores of food, and you need to pause and make decisions about events. In the troubled city of Strand, the City Watch and Governor’s Guard struggle to fend off the criminal empires who rule their streets. I own it on Xbox both digitally and physically and also own it physically on Switch and digitally on iOS. The story is amazing and keeps you captivated for hours and the artwork is beyond beautiful to look at. The Banner Saga is a viking game on the surface, though it takes place in a purely fantasy world filled with giants (Varls) and invading, alien creatures called the Dredge. Then you kill Eyvind when you get the chance. The Banner Saga Trilogy is one of the best games I’ve played in the past couple of years. This leads to most of Ivers group dying with Iver, Juno and Eyvind surviving by running up the tower while Bolverk is being distracted. The resource management sim is where you spend most of your time. One of them involves losing to Bolverk at the end of BS3. The game is split into two parts: tactical RPG and resource management sim. ![]() This is my opinion based on buying the game, completing the first one and have zero interest in continuing the saga/trilogy.
