Be it coincidence or otherwise, the turn based strategy genre has seen somewhat of a renaissance as of late. XCOM: Enemy Unknown set the world alight last fall, while Fire Emblem and Skulls of the Shogun have ensured those looking to scratch that particular itch have not been left wanting. Now Stoic are entering the fray with The Banner Saga: Factions, the multiplayer component of a Kickstarter funded campaign which found funding success last year. Releasing as a free to play title, Factions is a solid, if not spectacular offering that isn’t without fault.
NoobFeed says- We sent a few questions over to Stoic Studio to discuss their past experiences, how they handled the development progress of The Banner Saga and their view for the future. Thankfully, they found some time, in between the praise, to answer us.
Ron from NoobFeed writes - When the micro-transaction has taken a toll out of this genre, The Banner Saga: Factions walks a diverse path. It provides a wonderful online multiplayer experience, and free-to-play games simply can’t get any better than this.
BeefJack Writes: In the latest Kickstarter update for the successfully funded Banner Saga, developer Alex Thomas explains why mo’ money mean mo’ problems (except without the faux gangsta phrasing).
