Check out the first 20 minutes of The Banner Saga

Pirates are neat, and ninjas are OK, but I’m all about Vikings. Thankfully, I’ve got The Banner Saga to give me my Viking fix.

Developer Stoic Games released The Banner Saga today on Steam for $25. It’s a tactical role-playing game that has players taking the role of several characters in a cold, Nordic world where the sun has come to a stop in the sky. Gameplay is a mix of strategic, turn-based battles and conversation-based storytelling.
