Banner Saga

Some months ago I bought and played this game and I loved it. Some dialogs were very difficult to understand (my mother tongue is german, and when I bought it there was just the english version) but with a dictionary it was really okay. I was quite deep into the story and I loved it. I loved the gameplay, the battlesystem, the story, the mechanics, the freedom of making opportunitys and the amazing artwork (that reminded me on my early childhood). If you like to read, great artwork, a very nice story and an not too complicated but interesting battlesystem you will like "The Banner Saga". Hopefully a Sequel is coming soon.

I liked the banner saga very much, almost finished it in one go (ok I had to go to sleep but only 1-2 hours were left) The story had some unforseen twists and isn't all nice. (despair and sorrow mostly with little moments of joyfulness and fun) Anyway I only played combat in easy (was playing for the story) and that was just that, which suited me nicely. And the story was definitly worth it.

I played this on IOS first, loved it. Then now at the release of the third and last game I get it for PC so that to play through all the chapters. For stupid reasons they left out one of my favourite characters that was included in the iOS version. It's a long many years ago they released this game, i'd gladly pay extra to have access to that character on my PC too.

The Banner Saga deserves commendation for the strength of its art and music experience alone, which shatters conventions. That experience, in turn, complements a bleak story of a world teetering before its fall, where the harshness of the Scandinavian landscape mirrors the plight of mutually distrustful refugees. It's also a tough tactical RPG that rewards thought and careful strategy, although it stumbles a bit in explaining systems beyond its combat.

Great game and this music is wonderful.
