It’s perhaps Martin’s influence that is most keenly felt in this final instalment because The Banner Saga 3 is deeply steeped in tragedy, sacrifice and personal loss – with the bodycount getting higher and higher the closer you get to the end of the story.
Indeed from the beginning, though The Banner Saga has arguably been influenced by the likes of Tolkien and Norse mythology, the murderous pen of Game of Thrones author George R R Martin can be felt throughout the trilogy. More than the macro narrative however, another key reason why The Banner Saga succeeds in enrapturing players so entirely is because the relationships between its burgeoning cast of characters is also equally captivating a fact that serves to ram home the emotional grief all too keenly when the brown stuff hits the fan, because, boy, does it ever hit the fan.
THE BANNER SAGA 1 PLOT SUMMARY SERIES
The Banner Saga 3 refines the series turn-based battle system. Whether that was a battle to save a town, or achieve flight from a group of pursuing enemies that lasted for a seeming age, the breadth and scope of The Banner Saga’s heroic tale increased exponentially from game to game, and in The Banner Saga 3 the stakes have never been higher because, well, the world is quite literally about to end and all must come together in order to fight back what appears to be an impossible situation. One of the many things that The Banner Saga has done extremely well since the beginning is in how it created a compelling cast of characters and then wrapped a typically epic and engaging narrative round them.
