About The Banner Saga

✦ AI summary

Lead a caravan of Vikings across a frozen Norse-inspired landscape where every choice in conversation, travel, and strategic combat permanently shapes your story and determines who lives or dies. Manage your band of 25+ characters from multiple races and classes while defending civilization from an existential threat, with your decisions carrying over into sequels that continue your unique saga.

Live through an epic role-playing Viking saga where your strategic choices directly affect your personal journey. Make allies as you travel with your caravan across this stunning yet harsh landscape. Carefully choose those who will help fight a new threat that jeopardizes an entire civilization. Every decision you make in travel, conversation and combat has a meaningful effect on the outcome as your story unfolds. Not everyone will survive, but they will be remembered.

Key Features

  • Player choice that drives your own narrative – every decision you make in travel, conversation and combat has a meaningful effect on the outcome as your story unfolds.
  • Over 25 playable characters from 2 different races, human and varl, the horned giants – embark on your epic journey with a variety of characters from 7 different classes, each with unique abilities and upgrade options to fit your play style.
  • Strategic combat with consequences - victory or defeat and even the permanent loss of a character depends on which characters you choose to take into battle and what decisions you make afterwards.
  • The journey is as important as battle – your role in building and managing your caravan as you travel the vast frozen landscape is critical to not only your own survival but the survival of an entire civilization.
  • An epic Viking saga brought to life in 2D glory – beautifully hand drawn combat sequences and animations, accompanied by an evocative score from Grammy-nominated composer Austin Wintory, will immerse you into a fantasy realm inspired by Norse mythology.
  • Multiplayer Combat Enhanced – sharpen your combat skills in the free multiplayer game “Factions”. Compete against other players with many of the character classes you see in The Banner Saga.

Banner Saga is what happens when you mix Baldur's Gate with the Oregon Trail. The choices you make will always make you feel uneasy but there's always this sense that you must keep pushing forward or the world will crumble from under you. But you must keep pushing forward or every sacrifice was for nothing. The combat system is incredibly engaging even for someone who doesn't like turn based combat as much as the next guy. The animation style is so nostalgic, harkening back to the age of animated classics like Justice League or Gargoyles. All of this wrapped up together creates a very daunting, unique and lovable experience.
