It’s a great veneer that begins to crack once you work your way into the meat of the game. Like the heroes of their narrative, they took on a hefty task and underwhelmed in the performance.Īt first glance the Banner Saga is going to be a treat, a tactical RPG with a story steeped in Norse mythology told through lively character portraits and lovely landscapes, a soundtrack orchestrated by Journey’s (the game, not the band) Austin Wintory, and a combat system that puts a zesty twist on turn based combat. What better to do whilst suffering through the Northeast’s polar vortex than curl up in a freezing pre-war apartment with a copy of a game where everything is covered in ice and snow? The Banner Saga is the first effort by studio Stoic, a developer that much like the traveling caravans in Banner Saga is full of refugees from a not so little company called BioWare.
