If you like tactical RPGs, don’t miss this promo. “One of the best RPGs of the last decade, yet often forgotten”is back at a record price. From December 22 to January 5, Steam offers “The Banner Saga, Banner Saga 2 and Banner Saga 3 at discounted prices”.
Developed by Stoic, a studio founded by former BioWare employees, this trilogy immerses you in a Viking fresco where every choice counts. And good news: “this offer also applies to its two suites”. Or the complete trilogy for less than €12.
A unique narrative and strategic Viking fresco
The strength of the series lies not only in its fights, but in its storytelling. “Weave your own narrative thread in this epic Viking role-playing adventure with the Banner Saga trilogy”promises the official description. The player plays a clan leader, forced to make difficult choices to survive in a ruined world.
The game world is brutal, with no gods to guide men, and no sun to light their path. “Bold leadership decisions, wise resource management, and skillful combat tactics are essential to ensure your survival”. At the crossroads between Fire Emblem and Game of Thrones, Banner Saga pushes you to sacrifice, doubt, and start again.
Rave reviews and real replayability
The first opus scored 92 on Metacritic, followed by 87 for the second and 88 for the third. Three games praised for their writing, their hand-drawn artistic direction, and their music by Austin Wintory (Journey). However, despite these qualities, “the series is over, or at least on hiatus for the moment”.
And if you’re wondering how long this will take you: “Those who decide to take on the trilogy can expect a running time of around 30 hours”. But with its multiple branches and moral dilemmas, it offers great replayability.
A historic offer not to be missed before January 5
The 85% reduction brings the price of each game to less than €4. “these are the lowest prices ever offered for each game in the series”making it a rare opportunity. For those who missed the adventure when it was released, “Now is the perfect time to take advantage of this offer and discover one of the greatest strategic RPGs of the modern era”. In summary: it’s beautiful, it’s tactical, it’s poignant. And at that price, it’s almost a steal.
