If you haven’t played The Banner Saga already on your PC or smart device, you’ve likely heard of it. Developed by Stoic and published by Versus Evil, The Banner Saga is a tactical RPG that centers around a group of Vikings, giants, and various other caravaners as they journey across a harsh landscape and do battle with a sinister foe. The combat system will feel familiar to anyone who enjoys tactical RPGs in the vein of Final Fantasy Tactics , and features excellent, hand-animated visuals and a haunting original score composed by Grammy nominated composer Austin Wintory.
The story is co-authored by each player as he or she makes a series of difficult, game-changing decisions along the way about who to trust, what to do, and how to spend resources. Now, for the first time, this epic story can be experienced on your PS4 or Xbox One. “Merging the story and gameplay of Banner Saga with a refined controller interface makes it a very enjoyable console gaming experience. Despite the technical challenges we initially faced in porting the game, we’re extremely happy with the end result of many months of hard work to deliver a worthy console version,” said Jon Watson, founder and technical director at stoic. Find The Banner Saga on the Xbox Store or PlayStation Store for $20.
