Review Vencel 4/5 · Feb 16, 2025
Sigue siendo un RPG táctico de ambientación nórdica en el que vuelves a gestionar una caravana (a veces barcos) mientras tomas decisiones que afectan a la trama, y a sus protagonistas. Es más y mejor, aunque hubiera estado bien cambios mas agresivos.

I really enjoy The Banner Saga series. I can look past some of the flaws because I enjoy the simplicity of the mechanics, the music, and the art style.

I really enjoy The Banner Saga series. I can look past some of the flaws because I enjoy the simplicity of the mechanics, the music, and the art style. If you're a fan of strategy and turn based games, don't hesitate to buy these if you catch them on sale. Being available on multiple platforms, you probably wouldn't have to wait long.
It makes me so giddy building up my favorite characters and including them in every battle. You can have some of your heroes completely devastate enemies one after another, but don't get overly confident. There's this suspense before every encounter that has me eager to see how each turn plays out, and when an enemy makes a bad move, you can dish out the punishment.
I could almost just play the game one fight after another with a few lines of story mixed in, but the choices thrown on you as a leader give some potential for consequence. The choices you make, and the long march of the caravan gives something that feels completely unique to the series. The opportunities to sit back and soak up the scale of the game outside of the battles is one of my favorite things.
I really want to say this game is perfect because I enjoyed it so much, but one of my biggest complaints is the dialogue throughout the game. It feels like all the dialogue was written by one person, or at least a very few. Maybe it's unrealistic to expect multiple writers for a small studio, but what bothers me the most is how similar the text feels throughout the game. Every character seemed to have the same moody and sarcastic tone. Maybe this is a reflection of my own inner dialogue, or that you have multiple options when responding.
I was a little disappointed that I made it through the first and second game without giving much of a thought to some characters. I worried about a time when I wouldn't be able to rely on my overpowered characters, but that never happened. It seemed like if there was an ability that one hero had, if you dumped enough points into a similar class of a hero you prefer, they would get the option to take the same ability.
Overall, this was a fantastic game and I'm looking forward to when I can finish some other games in my backlog and catch the third installment in the series.

The story isn't quite as good as the first but it's still exceptionally beautiful and fun to play.
In this game I started to get slightly frustrated by some of the outcomes of decisions you made. Obviously outcomes being difficult to predict makes sense but sometimes the outcomes felt too random and punishing.

Playing as Bolverk wasn't as satisfying as some of the other characters but this was offset by the development of Alette's character.
