This article principally refers to the single-player game trilogy and usually to its first part, often referred to as ''The Banner Saga'' (without a number) which should not be confused with the entire trilogy. ==Overview== {| class="wikitable" style="text-align:center;" |- ! rowspan="2" style="width: 80px;"| Game ! rowspan="2" style="width: 140px;"| Type ! rowspan="2" style="width: 120px;"| First Release ! colspan="5" style="background:#440000;" | Available Platforms |- !

Giants: yes. Horned helmets: no. * '''Strategic combat''' : Recruit a large [[Roster]] of unique [[characters]] throughout the story, each with different abilities that interact in [[combat]] in a deeply tactical way and personalities of their own. ''The Banner Saga'' harkens back to classic turn-based gameplay with a strong emphasis on tactics over brute force and endless grinding. * '''Travel across gorgeous landscapes''' : The choices you make as events arise have a huge affect on how the story plays out- who survives, who dies, and what's worth saving. Add people to your caravan as you travel, or lose them when tough decisions arise. You're not just fighting to save nameless strangers, you're fighting for your neighbors, your family and your way of life. We want you to care what happens to them. * '''An emphasis on story''' : Your choices in dialogue and throughout the game truly affect the story and the people around you. A mature story for adults means forming relationships and making tough decisions; not sex, violence and swearing. * '''Play online''' : Though the single-player campaign is our focus, ''[[The Banner Saga: Factions]]'' provides a deep multiplayer game; build a unique party of characters and battle friends and enemies in multiplayer combat. Upgrade your [[party]] over time and devise new strategies. * '''Risk in gameplay''' : A lot of modern games play it safe- you know you'll defeat the evil and save the day. In ''The Banner Saga'' you can't take anything for granted. We want it to feel like a good TV mini-series; the world doesn't revolve around you, it's about how you deal with change. ==Kickstarter== The first and third parts of ''The Banner Saga'' have been successfully crowd-funded through '''Kickstarter'''. Refer to the following links for details on the campaigns (FAQs etc. can be found therein): * [https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/stoic/the-banner-saga/description ''The Banner Saga'' (March 2012)] * [https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/stoic/banner-saga-3/description ''Banner Saga 3'' (January 2017)] [[Updates]] [[Category:The Banner Saga| ]] [[Category:Games| ]]
