The Banner Saga was put on everyone's lips just when King.com, creators of Candy Crush Saga, challenged them to change their name by trying to go to trial with them by the use of the word 'saga'. A story that better to forget and that shows where a developer can go when he is very successful and let's say he does not know how to handle it properly.
Leaving this stumbling aside, let's get to know The Banner Saga, an excellent RPG inspired by Norse mythology with an excellent touch in the visual aspect and a gameplay that will grab you from the inside to enter a story of those epics that we like to live so much at the hands of our mobile device. With The Banner Saga we will make decisions that will directly affect the hero's personal story as well as the final result. Something that has a lot to do with The Walking Dead and The Wolg Among Us by TellTale Games.
Unmistakable visual style
The Banner Saga has an exquisite treatment for the graphic theme, something not vital, but that gives a lot of substance to a game of this type. Graphically marveling while we follow a good story is something magical in itself, and even more so if we get fully into a 2D fantasy kingdom inspired by Norse mythology. It even has an amazing soundtrack created by Austin Wintory, a Grammy Award-nominated songwriter.
The moment we get involved in the epic adventure that The Banner Saga proposes us, we will be before hand-drawn combat sequences and animations, and that every decision we make will have a drastic effect on our own history with conflicts that will be resolved. Here we will enter into something very important for an adventure and that follows in the wake of the two titles mentioned above from TellTale Games, and that as we follow one path or another, a different ending will await us. Something to praise and that offers more quality, to even start the game again to see what happens if instead of taking the blue pill we take the red one (a little Matrix is always good).
Embodying 25 characters
25 characters will be those that we will be able to embody and each one with its unique characteristics with 7 seven different classes, granting each one unique abilities. The combat, apart from being drawn by hand, will be arranged in a strategic way, so every action we take will be vital. A good mix of gameplay that will make more than one happy with conversations that will be the common thread, and that get you out of what are common RPGs.
1.6GB of game awaits you at a price of € 8,99. The exact price for a video game of this size and you can forget about purchases within the application, since all the content is for you with a single purchase. An epic adventure that awaits you for this weekend and that brings you to the screen of your Android phone some backgrounds worthy of any classic Disney animated film. Please, more games like The Banner Saga, we need them.
