A tense journey of measured leadership and tactical combat set against a beautifully bleak, hand-drawn world.

What players say

Players say this middle chapter is worth playing for the art and story, but it is weaker than the first game and does not have a satisfying ending on its own. A few find the supply management more annoying than before, and everyone agrees you must play Banner Saga 1 first.
