The Banner Saga is an independently developed title from a trio of former Star Wars: The Old Republic designers. It is described as "role-playing meets turn-based strategy, wrapped into an adventure mini-series about vikings."
Travel through stunning landscapes straight out of an animated film as your party escapes what could be the end of everything. Battle painstakingly hand-animated foes in strategic, turn-based combat. Make decisions with real consequences in conversations with people you'll actually care about.
The Banner Saga is a mature game aimed at gamers who appreciate art, story and strategy.
