The Banner Saga is a tactical role-playing video game series developed by Stoic Studio. Set in a Norse-inspired world, players navigate a beautifully hand-drawn landscape while making choices that affect the story and characters. The game features turn-based combat and a unique resource management system, where players must balance their caravan's needs as they journey through a harsh, unforgiving environment. The narrative follows a group of characters, including Varl and Humans, as they face the threat of the Dredge, a race of stone-like creatures. Players engage in strategic battles, build relationships, and make moral decisions that shape the outcome of the story across multiple installments.
