The Banner Saga Waves Its Flag On iOS
Stoic has announced that its Kickstarted strategy title The Banner Saga has arrived on iOS. The conversion to mobile devices was a partnership with indie publisher Versus Evil.
The Banner Saga is a strategy RPG with a Viking theme, which we quite liked when it arrived in January 2014. You can read our review here. The iOS version is available in the app store for $9.99.
Our Take
Stoic says it designed the game with touch devices in mind, which means that this port should be fairly fluid. With this and XCOM on an iPad, strategy fans can easily get their fix on the go.
I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
Thank you.
