Fantastic, yet harrowing experience
The game tells a story of varl (giants with horns) and humans as they struggle to survive in a dark time of dredge (stone-like figures) invasion. The player controls a handful of heroes leading a caravan that just tries to make it in the harsh reality of war. During the struggle the player faces myriad of difficult choices. As a caravan leader, you must manage supplies (boy are they scarce!), morale of the entire group, the roster of fighters and how to spend renown points - the only currency in the game. The combat is turn-based with a twist - the turns are always you-enemy-you-enemy and so forth, no matter the numbers. Your heroes have stats - each is equally important and enhances the tactical aspect of the battles. Classes are varied - each has a special unique active ability and one passive ability. The graphics are hand drawn and a pleasure to look at. Animations of the characters are very fluid. The music is definitely one of the highlights of this game - composed by Austin Wintory, it sets a tone for the harrowing experience and fits perfectly to the snowy lands the game takes place in. Furthermore, the game has replay value, as you can make different choices and end up with a significantly different roster and problems along the way. But probably the biggest upside of this game is its atmosphere and how easy it is to immerse yourself in the bleak reality of Banner Saga.
