RPG Gamers summaryThe Banner Saga 2 is an award-winning adventure, story-based, role-playing game that continues its emotional journey across a breaking world. The game boasts beautifully 2D hand-drawn combat sequences and animations that are further enhanced with special effects and an evocative score from Grammy-nominated composer Austin Wintory. Player choice continues to drive the narrative, with the story continuing based on choices made in the first game as well as hard choices players have to make in this one. The updated Survival Mode challenges players to stay alive through as many battles as possible, while the Deluxe Edition combines the game with the official soundtrack, performed by an array of talented soloists. The game has also added new characters and a new race, the Horseborn. Improved strategic combat with consequences puts a weight on player decisions and permanent loss of characters will still weigh heavy on the mind even long after the battle is over. The game places importance on the journey as much as the battle, where the role of building and managing the caravan is critical to not only the player’s own survival but the survival of an entire civilization.
