Tags: Stoic; The Banner Saga

Steam haters can now buy Stoic's turn-based Viking-themed strategy game The Banner Saga on GOG.com.



What's cool about it:
  • An epic Viking saga brought to life in 2D glory – beautifully hand drawn combat sequences and animations, accompanied by an evocative score from Grammy-nominated composer Austin Wintory, will immerse you into a fantasy realm inspired by Norse mythology.
  • Over 25 playable characters from 2 different races, human and varl, the horned giants – embark on your epic journey with a variety of characters from 7 different classes, each with unique abilities and upgrade options to fit your play style.
  • Strategic combat with consequences - victory or defeat and even the permanent loss of a character depends on which characters you choose to take into battle and what decisions you make afterwards.
  • The journey is as important as battle – your role in building and managing your caravan as you travel the vast frozen landscape is critical to not only your own survival but the survival of an entire civilization.

At the moment the price is $22.49 (10% off the regular price).

The best offer the game had was on GamersGate where you could get 20% back(like 5 euros) in blue coins so you could get another game.
Still didnt get it yet, turn based and all but it looks like anime tablet game. Surely gonna be available on iOS for 4.99 next month or something.

I bought it for $25, and I have to say your impressions are spot on. I wish I had waited for a tablet release. It's not really a very good game, but it's good by tablet standards.
