Your people will judge you every step of the way and the morale of your people directly affects how powerful you are in combat. Most of the time there is no right answer or even a safe answer. As you adventure, you face dilemmas that your stalwart band must overcome, through battles and decision making. Gameplay is very similar to the first Banner Saga ($9.99), with some slight improvements. Being a dad myself, I chose to go with the character that wouldn’t be talking about his dead daughter, so Alette was the choice for me. Times are not great, and the story picks up with you basically chosing who the surviving leader of your clan is, either the brooding father Rook, or the young daughter, Alette. If that wasn’t enough there is also a Kaiju sized worm casually destroying mountains and other geographic landscapes. The Banner Saga series is pretty big, but if you are unfamiliar, you take on the role of a leader of a clan of viking-like people in a world where humans and giants(called Varl) have been beset by numerous woes including a sun that has stopped moving and a race of invading humanoid creatures(called Dredge) are driving large populations of folk from their land. You’ve probably had enough time to get over the overwhelming depression the first episode was so good at instilling in you, I bet you’re ready for round 2! Come and join me by the fire while we still have some rations to share while we look deeper into this enjoyably sad sequel. The epic journey has returned to iOS and with it new gameplay mechanics, new environments and new friends to see die in new and horrible ways. I hope you packed extra consonants and umlauts, because Stoic is back with Banner Saga 2 ($9.99).
