At one point, I chose to put Alette’s life in danger to help push the caravan, since we were suffering heavy losses. Right before you get to the first main crossroad of the game, there is an event that requires you to make a whole bunch of decisions. These decisions allow you to shape the actual story of the world the game takes place in and the characters within it.īanner Saga 2 is so good that it had a profound effect on my decisions.Ī great example is that early in the story, you can befriend and invite a Varl and his friends to your caravan. One of my favorite things about The Banner Saga and its sequel is that you can make snap decisions while in towns and traveling the world. Indeed, The Banner Saga 2 picks up literally moments after the end of the last game. Once the game starts, you’ll immediately notice that chapter 8 is the game’s starting chapter. “The Banner Saga 2 is not your traditional sequel.”įortunately, for me, I could emulate Rook’s sacrifice at the end of the first game by selecting Alette as my primary character. Now I beat the first game, but didn’t do it on the same account, so I was worried I lost most of the progress and story. It comes at the cost of one of the game’s main characters, Alette or Rook. The first game ends with you taking down Bellower, the immortal bad guy. So, I want to start with the simple fact that The Banner Saga 2 is not your traditional sequel. If you have already played through the original game, you are already probably well aware of the sad ending, this is essentially the beginning of the sequel, The Banner Saga 2.
As one of the more successful Kickstarter games that has actually been able to follow through an exceed what was promised, The Banner Saga went from 1 game to an already planned trilogy. It was well-beloved for its wonderfully hand drawn animated graphics, beautiful soundtrack and interactive story that accompanied great gameplay.
2014 had a crazy cool indie release with the original Banner Saga.
