Title: Banner Saga
Post by: Tamas on March 04, 2013, 12:41:06 PM
You can find this for free on Steam. MP only.

You form your team of fantasy vikings and fight it out with others. Kind of World of Tanks meets Blood Bowl meets norse mythology.

You gyus with wargaming experience should tear most opposition apart. I just had like my 7th completed game and didn't score my 5th win only because I was watcing the telly and timed out on a crucial move against the enemy archers :P

Anyways, since there are classes which give slight defensive bonus, and out of common sense really, I think the key at this early stage is to not break formation. Since if your opponent does that first, you'll have one of his dudes on its own next to basically your entire team. And of course concentrate your attacks on a single target usually (altough its not THAT easy, as HP=attack power, so there is incentive to wear the enemy down).
That sounds like Tactics 101 but a lot of people are not yet aware I think.

Fun game. Not sure about the longevity, but they promise new classes and stuff.

I play from time to time. I like it. To my eye, at least, the graphics are gorgeous.

It's not free, not even close. Their pricing model is on the expensive side.

When you meet the guy who programmed the weather, be sure to let him know how much it sucked.

I don't see why Habbs can't complain about the still non-existent paid single player.

I guess if he preordered and has already paid for it...
