Kickstarter-funded games are the rage in 2012. Developers love circumventing publishers and gamers love feeling like they’re directly involved with the games they buy. The Banner Saga is a recent Kickstarter project that caught my eye. It combines a few of my favorite things. It’s being made by Stoic Studio, which was formed by several ex-BioWare talents. It has a beautiful animated art style and gameplay similar to Final Fantasy Tactics (still my all-time favorite). Former BioWare peeps, sweet art, and FFT gameplay?!? Sign me up!!!
I’m definitely going to contribute to this project. I just need to figure out how much I can afford. If you have a sec, check out the trailer and let me know what you think of The Banner Saga.
I finally got around to backing this project yesterday. Next one will likely be Replubique.
