March 2025
I am having a really enjoyable time playing through Warbanners thus far - at time of review, I have not yet finished the game. I had wanted this game for many years, and finally picked it up during the 2025 Spring Sale. Totally worth it. - First & foremost - this is a story driven game, not a sandbox like Battle Brothers. I would offer it is like the first 2 Metro games in this sense; you go through missions where every battle/experience has been handcrafted, and have been made very well at that. - There are an array of units to add to your party, unlocking as progression is made; along with potions to be bought/used, and a system of "assistants" (kinda like the retinue in BB), which provides various bonuses or aids, oft at the start of missions. - The environments in each mission have lots of interactivity to be manipulated; from building little barricades or digging up hexes, to breaking down barriers / or using barriers for chokepoints or general defense. Setting fire to areas, climbing the walls / using battlements in a siege battle/mission... And more to be seen, (as I have much more of the campaign to go through still!) - *(Now, to address the comparing of Warbanners to others, as I know many will want to, have done so, etc.. Even myself!):* - Warbanners is mostly not the same gameplay experience as Battle Brothers; it is different than BB - and rightly so! It can definitely be felt/seen that the developer very much knew fully what type of game he wanted to create, as well as what all he wanted to be in the game, and hugely, what it was going to present & feel like. All in all, Warbanners does all it aimed to do, very well. - Now, in my findings, while different gameplay experiences, Warbanners DOES scratch the same "vein or itch" that BB is within... Which, IME, very, very few games even make it to the same "vein" that BB is in. The dev himself & other players have posted very helpful comparison of Warbanners to BB; so for those coming from that standpoint, I suggest finding that forum post & reading... - BUT regardless of that; if one enjoys tactical, turn based battles & a high-bar ("realistic"/hardcore) difficulty, then go ahead and give Warbanners a try; just open thyself up to interacting with what it is presenting, & what it is bringing to the table. I am excited to continue playing & ultimately making it to the ending. I also already purchased the DLC while on sale, as it is the addition of a few missions on a playthrough/mini-story of its own - but playing as ORCS! This is a really neat, enjoyable turn-based tactical experience that requires some sound thinking & strategy + use of all tools available, thought into the maps & environment factors, and of course, actions carried out by ones units. I also really appreciate, from reading older forum posts & discussions, the openness & honesty from the developer behind this game. He does not bend/warp or try to say/present anything of this game beyond what it is, what is has, and everything of it. There's no false or "tipsy advertising or describing", so to say, like one may find in other titles *(meaning, how sometimes certain elements are described more flowery or "stretched" to appeal more broadly...)* None of that here / from this dev! Which again, I find very respectable. Thus, to anyone interested in this type of game; know what you see is what you get. **P.S.** Dev is working on a new game now, Veterum; which I am keenly following now, as he did a great job in crafting Warbanners. Am even allowing myself some hype (which I very rarely do nowadays) for his next title. Keep up the good work @CrasleenGames.

Very good tactical game. Story becomes great near the end. Choices affect the end also. It will be hard for those not used to tactical turn based combat like Fantasy General even on easiest. A must play for fantasy story and turn based fans.

The presentation is not exactly on par when compared to other similiar titles of varying budgets, but the ideas of the game are pretty cool and interesting, and it's quite fun to play. I got mine on sale for 5 bucks, but tbh even 10 would be absolutely worth it.
