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.💖

Amazing game
i personally really liked this game alot. the main story is well thought out and very compelling i found myself wanting to find out more and more. the art work is beautiful and while sone what simple it really brings out the rustic feeling of the old world. game play is intence on normal and hard, easy is a good way to learn the mechanics and rules of combat. one thing i really like was that every time i played the main story basicly stayed the same but the events on the road were always diffrent and very rewarding when you help someone and later on in game in a desprate situation that person you helped 40 days ago helps you and saves you. there are only 2 things i didnt really like but this is just my opinion. one thing was the game seemed to be over quickly but my first run took me about 10 hours. the 2nd thing was that the ending i wasnt thrilled about only because it left me wanting more n wishing i could exsplore more of the vast land before me. all in all great game good re-play value and well worth the 10$ i would highly recommend buying this game i enjoyed it alot and i hope you do too. -
UPDATE ** Company reached out to me, offering a refund. I got it for the switch and really liked the game, still bummed the game can't play on my phone but at least they are going to work with me on getting me my money back. Unplayable on note 20 ultra crashes every 20 minutes. Bummed. I want my money back.

I played this game 3 times
The first time I played I couldn't import my game into Banner Saga 2. The second time I played, I did it over the course of a weekend in an attempt to start Banner Saga 2 right after. Seeing that Banner Saga 2 was just as challenging, if not more challenging, than the first game, I put it down. I just picked up Banner Saga 1 and played through it a third time, so that I could maintain story cohesion for Banner Saga 2. I'm glad I did!! Banner Saga 2 was very epic in a lot of new ways, while maintaining all of the really cool features of the first: nail-biting strategy RPG battles, nail-biting Oregon Trail choice making, a KILLER musical score, and beautiful art. I will probably play Banner Saga 2 a second time in anticipation of playing the third. Thank you for this beautiful RPG, very exciting and memorable! -
Mostly good
I really enjoyed this game but there are a couple problems. 1. The fight scenes. If I can only move one guy per turn, I at least should be able to choose which guy. It is totally possible in a real fight, some guys-like archers-would stay in one place. Why can’t I move the same guy twice in a row? I have to waste a turn telling an archer to stay in place. 2. Got a little boring watching my numbers go down-morale, clansmen, varl, supplies-as my little line of dudes marched on through the viking wilderness. I would have liked the option for the caravan members to hunt along their way. Maybe the game developers wanted to stress the cruel leanness of the times. Something to think about. This game is extremely story driven, lots and lots of choosing dialogue and watching cartoon twiddling of fingers and blinking. That said, the animation is awesome, the dialogue smart, and the soundtrack beautiful. The backstory is compelling and I had quite a few hours being engrossed.

Near Perfect
The only way the game could be better is if it came to conclusion, but then we wouldn’t have the second or third game so thats a double edge sword. I’m just sad to see that Banner Saga 3 has yet to be released on the App Store. What’s the deal with that?

This might be considered an interactive graphic novel. The artwork is wonderful, the score adds atmosphere and tension, and the story is neatly integrated with gameplay.

Great port, great game, amazing memories
I’m a very picky iOS gamer. When I first bought this game, I knew it was a big commitment. And it is, you need to plan on playing this for multiple hours because it’s that immersive. And after completing this game, I’m in love with the world that this story takes place in. The developers, writers, and beautiful minds over at Stoic have my whole heart. It’s so rare to find a game that on every level makes you impressed. There was never a point in the game (on iOS or PC) where I thought, “not a fan.” The story, the music, the voice acting, the controls, the gameplay, the map, and the world design have made me fall in love. Congrats Stoic, you have my full support if you continue to put this much effort and love into your games. For such a small game and for only $9.99, you have truly made one of my favorite games of all time. I may never meet you guys, but I hope your careers are long and prosperous because I want to keep playing Banner Saga. P.S. This game is perfect for my style of gaming, but not for others. It’s all preference. Edit: Thanks for the response, and thank you for sharing with the team! Can’t wait to play Banner Saga 3!

Miss playing Oregon Trail?
This game was nice. I was looking for a game similar to fire emblem and was originally disappointed at the gameplay so it sat in my phone for awhile before giving it another chance. As I got into it more I realized how similar it is to a childhood favorite, Oregon Trail. I eventually beat the game. It was the right amount of challenging and the story was interesting enough to keep me coming back. My only grime was I didn’t love the characters. They just didn’t do it for me. Maybe it was the dry cliche dialect, idk. In all it was a good enough time to garnish 4 stars from me tho perhaps that’s being generous. I do intend to play the second one tho.

Good game, but...
You need to update it so it fits my entire iPhone X screen. It is soooooo difficult to read everything! It’s so tiny! The words are too small. Also, there are a lot of spelling errors and lastly there are several situations where no matter what option you choose it is the same outcome. So why have an option in that case? So far I’ve enjoyed the game. However I’ve had to look up how to play it for advance tutorials. The in game tutorials are lacking a little. Obviously it has Great artwork and interesting story. I’d give it four stars if the update it for iPhone X. Until than I will continue to squint. I would give it five stars if the options you choose in the game (or choices you make) have a greater influence on the story, not just influencing moral, supplies, and renown. For an iOS game this is a great one! So I can’t complain but I do offer those ideas towards improving it. Thanks -
It’s Banner Time
Stoic has presented a beautiful game with interesting character development and a cool unique art style. Combat however can be a nightmare. Moves are turn based and movement is tile based with locked decisions Incase you misclick. There are odd combat features including enemies being able to move past you without opportunity attacks and odd ranged attacks which can shoot far straight but only half the distance diagonally in certain cases. I found the whole thing to be a bit clunky which is a shame because the story is phenomenal and the game does a great job at keeping you hooked and always on your back foot ensuring you never feel too powerful. All in all I think this brings the game to a 3/5 for me as it’s less of a game and more an interactive story. -
Incomplete series
Would gladly give this game 5 stars if they had the entire trilogy available on iOS. It’s like someone is selling you the first 2/3rd of a book and having no option to read the ending! The games are pieces of the story and do not have concrete endings until you finish all three. All of your choices carry over game to game and have a huge impact on the final ending you receive. Without having the third game available on iOS you’re forced to play through on a different platform without any of the choices you made carrying over. Absolutely ridiculous of the studio to choose to release only two of the games when they made it such a continuous experience. -
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.

Nice looking game, but I’m not sold.
This is basically a ‘choose your own adventure’ book with animated graphics, and tactics battles. There is some resource management to be done, but it doesn’t add much of a feel of control or choice. The graphics are really nice, and nicely animated, but the battles are short, the battlefields are small, and as much of the game consists of reading and making dialog choices as battling. The tactical depth of battle almost makes up for the small battlefield, and short battles...almost. All in all, it’s not my cup of tea. I may, or may not finish the story, and I probably wouldn’t mess with the sequel unless it was on sale for a buck.
