Jan. 2025

Warbanners is essentially a set-piece-on-rails wargame with some RPG elements such as unit advancement and inventory management. Not a bad thing, being a table top war gamer for year this is not strange or unwelcome. For purely RPG folks this may be a dealbreaker. I think a miss here is not being able to create your own character from the start. Maybe it would be fun and have replay value if that were the case. To which I think for the most part this is a one play through game. This is not a bad thing, I think that it is enjoyable. Combat is at a reasonable pace. Some of the set battles are quite challenging and fun without being too much of a puzzle game. There is a lot of RNG, which may turn off some younger players. I like that not every attack or spell will be a known outcome. Units gain experience and you get to pick from a few options every level, with some levels offering up abilities and spells as options. Units also have some inventory, which varies. However a unit/character can only have one artifact in their inventory including the hero. I think this is a little bit of a miss especially for the main character but it is not like the game hands them out like candy. Janky interface, weird slowness in the game especially early on as tips will pop up. I welcome play aids but when they make the game unplayable that is an issue. Per the dev, this is just how it is with the underlying code. Not sure I buy it, but the good news is this is less of an issue as the game progresses. Graphics and sound are pretty rudimentary but also completely adequate for the game. They don't take away from the game, but some polish could have been applied post release. Overall, Warbanners is a fun wargame and worth playing. Well done.

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.

Oct. 2024

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.

March 2024

Duration: 22 hours Warbanners is like playing a digital version of Fantasy Warhammer miniature game. It's relatively simple mechanics but the scenarios can be very challenging. Overall, I recommend it as a fun little strategy game. Nothing mind-blowing special, but enjoyable none-the-less.

Fun game. This game can actually get quite entertaining when you get the hang of it. At first, it can seem a bit intimating as not everything is fully explained (character stamina is important so is the terrain your character is standing on and your stats such as evasion, attack, morale, etc. are critical. Items you give your characters can completely change how you use them, and be careful about anything that lowers a character's stat.). If you level up your soldiers right, and build a good army that is flexible, and make sure you keep your unique characters alive each battle, you will do well. After a while you get over the graphics which at first look a bit outdated, but once you understand everything you can focus on the gameplay, which is great. I also think the AI is pretty good. I really like how much effort went into this and how your characters can gain certain abilities. Overall, I enjoyed the game. I would give the game a 7.5/10. Fun turned base strategy game, similar to Battle for Wesnoth, but with a more complicated rule set.
