Looking back on Banner Saga 1, Frostvellr is one of the biggest locations where I felt like I had the most options, so strategically it seems like one of the most interesting puzzles, I like the...

Aleonymous, thanks for the info. But the temptation to carry my stats and items through to the next game is enough to make me want to replay Banner Saga 1. (I suspect the only way Rook wins that...

Thanks for the links Aleo. I'm remembering 2 years ago when I had too much free time and spent release day compiling a list of all the review of the first game. I'm glad to hear the second game is...

Just to clarify, Hero-U is being designed by Lori and Corey Cole, the same people who designed the Quest for Glory games from the 90's, so they definitely have a lot of experience making...

A year and a half after the game was released, RPG Codex just posted a very detailed positive review of the Banner Saga:

ROG Codex is famous for...

I want to point people to "Hero-U: Rogue to Redemption", which is in it's final days. It's an RPG/adventure game being created by the couple who made the Quest For Glory Sierra adventure games back...

The "Bedlam" kickstarter project just announced the $65 digital collector's edition features a Ghost Dozer being driven by a Ghost Varl , in a crossover promotion with The Banner Saga: "Arnie...

And the recent kickstarter update confirmed that Stoic is still working on a Linux version of The Banner Saga.

Looks a bit like FTL with turn-based combat. I don't expect the combat to be as nuanced or complicated as The Banner Saga, but the theme looks like fun and I like the idea of being able to control...

Based on Austin Wintory's tweets, they're hard at work on Part 2. I'm keeping my fingers crossed for some sort of Alette/Egil relationship in Part 2 to reward those few players who managed to keep...

On a related note I was always confused why Egil disappeared from the storyline after you left Skogr at the beginning of the game. I get that he can be a nice unit in combat and that he can die in...

Aleonymous, even without facebook I hope maybe you can see these links. Enjoy!

This is a good idea Aleo, at the least it's good brain storming for chapter 2. I remember all the wacky achievements people came up with before Banner Saga was released. Obviously many of them would...

Thanks for the link Rymdkejsaren. $20 is the standard base level for most videogames I see on kickstarter these days. I recently backed Darkest Dungeon and Unsung Story, which had base levels around...

Here's a link to a surprisingly detailed strategy guide and walkthrough for The Banner Saga. I was impressed by the number of screenshots in the guide.

Nice job! I understand what the solid and dashed lines represent, but who do the dotted lines represent?

The last I heard, they do not. He was designed to be a pre-order exclusive. He doesn't add much to the game, just an extra spearman unit.

It looks like the kickstarter campaign will get funded after all (it's currently only $40k away from the goal). Playdek has posted a lot of new artwork and gameplay information in the last few days....

And since the update the campaign has actually lost money. (because backers don't like the new design?) I assume the new content is designed to get gaming press to write new articles about the game...

Playdek is clearly promoting Unsung Story as a game for mobile devices (which makes sense considering all previous games have been for mobile devices). By adding extra platforms as stretch goals they...

You're not the only person who is disappointed by the lack of game details and sample screenshots. They're planning on releasing a big update on Thursday so I'd check back later this week. (it...

Also archers get a huge advantage when they don't move because of their puncture ability that lets them do extra damage against enemies with damaged armor.

I think the story explanation is that it's important for Alette to be in the battle to see her father die, and vice versa. I'm sure there will be repercussions for Alette in Chapter 2. If she wasn't...

Perhaps Alette (like most archers) can't use her silver arrow abilities on Bellower at point blank range? Archers usually can't attack at point blank range.

When I watched the PAX Banner Saga gameplay videos back in September 2013, I remember Stoic commenting that your choice that resulted in Egil's death would have definitely consequences in the plot,...
