You’ll be treated to beautiful combat animations, picturesque backdrops and many interesting looking characters. We can immediately tell you that many hard choices await in this second game of the series.Įven though this game is the second one of the series, the developers pretty much stuck to the graphical style of the first game, with the motto: ‘why change anything if it already looks good’. You’ll still have to be careful of the lurking dredge, and the monstrous Serpent that appeared in the first game, that was bound to consume the world. This time the main objective of the game is to go to the human capital, Aberrang, with the remaining Varl of your caravan in tow. If you play with Rook, he will remain the leader of the caravan, if you opt for Alette, she will serve as the new leader of the caravan.

If not, you’ll have to choose between Rook or Alette, meaning the other character has died. While we could easily tell you the same as in the review of the first part, we’ll try our best to voice our opinions without shedding too many tears.Īs we mentioned in the original review of The Banner Saga 2, you now have the option to import your save file of the first game, which will make sure your choices are remembered. Only recently we retried our hands at the first game, and it is a bittersweet reunion with many characters from the first part now we already find ourselves at the doorstep of the second game. To make the game more accessible on the Switch, the developers decided to port the first two games to Nintendo’s new hybrid console and they did so in a very rapid pace. Versus Evil is working overtime to finish the third and final installment in the Banner Saga series, which will release on all major platforms in July.
