The plot revolves around a group of Vikings who are escaping from the looming doom. The action takes place in a fantasy world inspired by the Nordic mythology and the scenarios are written in a road story style. The developers made use of their previous experience and created a game that forces the player to make difficult decisions. Dialogues are kept in a cinematic convention characteristic for Bioware productions.
The Banner Saga is a tactic RPG enriched with adventure elements. As the turn-based combat system is the core of the game, you fight on maps divided into square tiles. With the progress, the heroes get experience and become more powerful. The final objective is to take a large group of Vikings to some safe place, so it is important to take care of other of the group, not only those in your team.
The Banner Saga published on PC, AND and etc. features beautiful 2D visuals. The creators were mostly inspired by Eyvind Earle – an American artist widely known for developing the graphic style for Disney’s Sleeping Beauty. In the outcome, The Banner Saga offers bright colours and cartoon characters and at the same time maintains the seriousness of the story.
