The Banner Saga (Series) Review
Posted: 19 months ago, last updated 3 months ago.
Author: @GeekDadGamer and Jo Robertson.
Overview
The main element of progressions is a turn-based combat engagement employing characters you have in your party. Rather than focusing on a specific hero as in other games, The Banner Saga games concentrate instead on the caravan of characters as a whole. Defeats and deaths in battle affect more than your score or arbitrary outcome, but play into the narrative as a whole.
There are three games in the series:
- The Banner Saga (2014)
- The Banner Saga 2 (2016)
- The Banner Saga 3 (2018)
