The Banner Saga: Words fail me!

squarezero · #1 03-21-2012, 07:01 PM

The Banner Saga is a turn-based tactical RPG being made a small team of ex-Bioware designers and developers. Though it will first come out this Summer on Mac and PC, the team committed itself to developing an iOS version (among others) if their Kickstarter campaign exceeded their original goal of $100,000. 30 days before the deadliine and they have already raised $150,000, so it's safe to assume that an iOS version is coming (though, to be clear, the devs have not confirmed this).

If you are not as excited about this game as I am after watching the teaser below, then you are not a real gamer.

Okay, maybe that's kind of extreme. But still, it is difficult for me to overstate the level of awesomeness on display here. Enjoy!

Yeah, this looks freaking incredible. There are plenty of people who aren't into SRPGs though.

They've mentioned multiplayer so that's a bonus. Guess we'll have to see if/how they do an iOS. Looks awesome and looks like it will be well supported past development as well (assuming ex-bioware employees know anything about anything!).

Currently Ravenmark: Scourge of Estallion (Witching Hour Studios) reminds me visa-versa of this, which imo is an awesome iOS game and just had the Sunspears Expansion as well.

Yeah this "genre" is perfectly suited to iOS imo. Advance Wars was one of the best games I played on the old gameboy
