‘The Banner Saga’ – Rewards & Hardships
For backers of the crowd-funded, game project titled, The Banner Saga, the release of the game a couple of weeks ago was a welcome sight. The game was originally funded via Kickstarter on April 20th, 2012 and raised over $700,000 USD — seven time the amount Stoic was seeking. The additional funds went into the overall quality of the game and helped the creators of the game expand upon the story they wanted to tell. Described as a “mature, story-driven, turn-based strategy game steeped in viking culture”, Stoic sought to offer a gaming experience that isn’t offered as much anymore. Now that the game has been release, or at least the first Act of it, fans and backers can now try their hand and take in a compelling story.
