The Banner Saga

Love the game. Combat, storywriting, mechanics, art, sound, it's perfect. The Android app is not so perfect. Loading times up to 2 minutes. Graphic glitches when app goes to background. Dragging on the roster is difficult. And I didnt get a hard difficulty achievement after completing the game on hard difficulty. That was a bummer. Worth 10 euro? Yes, if you don't mind being patient.

Great game. I absolutely loved it when I played it on PC years ago. I downloaded it to revisit the game and I can't equip items. The drag function does not work for me. I am using a Samsung Galexy s10. If that bug gets fixed, this is easily a 5 star game! Edit: Still waiting on a big fix, but the response from Versus Evil was quick and it is clear they care.

Normally I start with five stars and deduct a star for each significant flaw. In this case, those rules went out of the window. I've completed the game twice, once with almost no do-overs and no prior knowledge and once trying to get the "perfect" outcome. It's been so enjoyable that I give it five stars despite its almost fatal flaws. On the flaws: interminable load times, occasionally getting completely stuck and if I use Google pay whilst in combat, I return to a blank screen...

I got this for the One plus 7Pro. Was looking forward to it because it was amazing on iPad. Currently however, it's stuck on startup. After it asks for permission to use media, it's stucj forever loading. Have tried uninstalling and reinstalling to no avail. I have emailed support already regarding this and will be willing to change my score as soon as a work around is found. Edit - reinstalled for the third time and it started up. Finally. Wish I didn't have to reinstall it again and again

When I first began playing this game, I had an issue with the game constantly freezing and being unplayable. Turns out that for whatever reason my phone was not compatible with the game. After Android update, I was able to play the game. The developer of the game was also quick to respond and offer solutions to remedy my negative experience. Very fun game and good for fans of turn-based combat.

Best Phone RPG ever... Only 10 hours in but worth every penny. Beautiful lore, art, and music. No ads or in-app purchases. A throwback to when RPGs were more of a "choose your own adventure novel" with clear points where you make important choices as opposed to the modern go-anywhere sandbox. But the decisions are interesting, difficult, and meaningful in lots of ways. Easy to play for half hour intervals.

I was interested in this game a few years ago and never got around to purchasing it. I should have done so sooner. Pretty great turn based strategy RPG. Artwork is beautiful. Excellent creativity in how the world is developed. I only have two complaints. The story is a bit difficult to follow in the begining. The descriptive text in towns and battle are difficult to read most of the time. You have to get pretty close to the screen. I will be buying part 2 and 3 for sure.

I didn't think the developer would still read these, so I deleted my old one just to write a new one. I'm a big fan of Xcom, although find it overwhelming at times and therefore give up. Banner Saga is the same kind of format but; simple, easy to use, the art work is just awesome and I feel involved in the game with the choices I make. I can't wait to buy the 2nd one and it's one of the few mobile games that I feel my money was well spent and not just an impulse buy.

One of the most beautiful, engaging games I've played for a while. Combat is like a more interesting x-com-style turn-based affair. The story plays out like a choose-your-own-adventure where your choices matter. This game actually made me angry at fictional characters because I was so invested in them. Great bloody job. Literally downloading banner saga 2 now!

I'm pretty sure I spent most of my time played loading. The battle mechanic was really frustrating. Because of the way the turns work you end up being punished by finishing off mooks. I think the ideal strategy is to bring them low, then ignore them so they plink at your guys which wastes the enemy turn and gives your guys more chances to hit the bigger bad guys. This feels really counterintuitive and is honestly not very much fun. The story seemed cool, but with so much loading it was hard to get into it without being interrupted. The visuals were pretty great though. I guess I'm mostly disappointed that I finally decided to jump into paid games, heard this one was good, decided to drop the $10 on it, and it was such a disappointment. Maybe freemium is the way to go... But I hate dlc and micro transactions 😒

I know its a good game and i want to play it but sadly i have to ask for a refund. Trying to play on a galaxy s20fe and it keeps freezing at the same point in the second battle when theres only 2 thugs left. Tried it 4 times now and no matter what way the fight goes and moves are made, it always ends up freezing at the start of the enemy's turn when there's only 2 left.

Unplayable. Installed and reinstalled but game is crashing in the first 10 minutes over and over. 1st then 2nd and now 3rd battle keeps freezing. Infruriating. Refund please. *Updated* prompt reply and refund. Thanks, appreciated. More realistic review is 3 stars as I only have 10 mins of play but loved what I saw.. shame capability isn't sorted at the price for the game (I.e. still gets sold when known issue of crashing for newer phones and a 7 year old game)

I played this game a few years ago on an Android phone and it worked fine, but I recently wanted to play it again before purchasing and playing through Banner Saga 3. However, the game crashes every combat I attempt from the first settlement your party arrives at. I submitted a support email on 7/13/21 and 7/23/21 and haven't heard back. Maybe they're busy with other projects, but it is frustrating nonetheless. I hope to hear back from the developers soon.

I enjoy this gane very much, but I have turn off data and WiFi in order for it to open. If you get a call, text or shut the screen off for anything while playing you might get stuck in a black screen and lose progress back to previous save. Especially frustrating during cutscenes or story parts.

As someone who has always preferred creative games with interesting mechanics and fleshed out stories over flashy graphics from the AAAs, Banner Saga blew me away. It's beautiful. Oregon trail meets FF Tactics; with gorgeous animation, an evocative score, and the consequences of my actions weighing on my conscience... I haven't seen anything like it since... I don't even know. Ever?

This is exactly the game I was looking for. A compelling story with in depth, complex characters that can die if you make the wrong choices. My one complaint is the morale system. I can make good decisions and have weeks worth of food saved up but morale always plummets after a day or two. I know not everything has to be super realistic but it's annoying winning battles regularly but having medium to low morale because people are upset over eating into supplies slightly. Still a great game tho.

I love this game and everything about it so far. It is really well done. It is funny due to the fact that I have eyed this game for years and just recently decided to get it. Much respect to the developers for this wonderful work of art. My only complaint though is with the crakling that is happening when there is music playing. I thought it might have been my headphones at first but the crakling only happens during the game. I'm using a Note 8 FYI. Hope this can be fixed asap. Thanks

EPIC! I've been looking for this game for months. It's ver LOADING ......... y well balanced between combat, beautiful graphi LOADING .......... cs genuinely difficult choices which impact on the LOADING .......... story development. The world it's set in is similarl LOADING .......... y well crafted without relying on tropes and cliche. LOADING .......... Infact it's hard to find anything wrong with it!

This is one of the best games available on the Play store. It is an old-school style game in that there are no IAP. It is a story driven, strategic, well-illustrated game that comes with a great musical accompaniment. I would describe the gameplay as Oregon trail meets Shakespeare meets chess, except that you don't start with predetermined pieces - you build your own pieces and can maximize how they interact. My only issue is that the other 2 parts of this trilogy aren't up for sale on mobile.

Amazing artwork and music/sound Gripping story arc, so much so that even though i was pissed at the ending coming out of nowhere i am 100% going to get the 2nd game and continue the storyline! The main draw i would say is the artwork and the overall aesthetic to the gameplay. 5 out of 5, angry it ended how/when it did, absolutely gonna play it a 2nd and 3rd time before i get The Banner Saga 2

Very good game. 👍 nice story, music, artwork, etc. (Tried it on ps4 and was happy to find it on android) I wish they used more voice-over (pls. make text redundant) I was quite dissapointed to see the front page has an add space..

I'm sure the game is great but it keeps freezing and I can't play past the second battle and google won't refund. I got this game on pc and android and i feel ripped off. Edit: After my review I contacted the company, they were really helpful and they issued a refund.

Definitely one of the best android games i've ever played.. actually i played it once on my s7 device and it ran smooth without any problems.. now i use s10, i found slightly longer loading screen, and when on a party roster the heroes cannot be dragged into the party slots.. hope u can fix it soon..

One of the best turned based games that have played to date for sure. Beautiful design and graphics. And gosh the story... Game comes with some frustration too. Since you can easily lose the character you worked on leveling by choices you make. Devs thank you for the game. Absolutely wonderful job.💖

Game is unplayable and broken. It keeps freezing during combat. The game looks like a lot of fun but I am unable to keep playing after the second fight area. I'm playing on a z fold 2 so it looks like the game needs to be updated.
