Banner Saga

You get an old version (2.18.08) as until today 21. August 2016. The patch 2.18.11 was released on 12. April 2016 if you look at steam ... You can't mod the game, as the mod files are a DLC on steam. No luck in modding, the editor (which is ironicaly shipped with the gog release) depends upon the uncompiled source asset files. So, just don't buy it on GOG! You will waste your money as the developer ("stoic") doesn't care about their GOG customers and GOG doesn't care to provide an good experience to their customers by holding their contract partners responsible for updates and broken features which are solvable.

I keep my reviews short, but I will say this is one of my favorite strategy RPGs, favorite stories in a game, and just one of the great indie game. A must buy!

Good - Beautiful drawings & interesting animation - Nice music and sounds Bad - Repetitive gameplay - Not sure if the choices changes the story - Difficult combat situations, especially later in game. - The fact that you can only take a limited amount of guys in battle but the enemy can take as many as it wants is stupid. - WAAAAYYYY to long waiting between events. Should be a mini game or something to do or even a dialog between two persons while you travel. A BIG WASTE OF TIME HERE! Overall, don't buy this unless you have played it already.

Been seeing ads for this game and finally picked it up. The story is amazing! I love getting surprised by the results of my choices. While managing your caravan moments arise needing your guidance. Some give you immediate results, both good and bad. While others may give you and immediate result and a later surprise further down the road. The combat is pretty simplistic, but still fun. And though it is a big part of the game, I think it could be better. Personally I had more fun following the story and managing my caravan than fighting the battles. I have played through 3 times and will probably try it a couple more times while I wait for the second in the series to come out. Well worth the price.

Cool story, cool characters, neat setting and all around tight tile turnbased combat round out an overall decent 20$ experience
