The Banner Saga 2 - Analysis
This review is about the qualities of The Banner Saga 2 on console. If you want to read more about him in more depth in other aspects, we refer you to the analysis published on our website.
For the players of the first The Banner Saga, the second part will be familiar terrain. A title in which decisions are crucial, and in which strategy is based on a unique audiovisual style. A game that, yes, forces us to be calm, patient, conscientious. Choose well. Or fixed that we lose a member of our team ...
The Banner Saga 2 continues right where the first game left off, and just like on PC, the possibility of importing our saved game has been respected to continue using the character with all the attributes it had at the end of the first one. An intelligent gesture being the first of a video game so extensive and lasting so many hours. But once again, it is only an option, and if we do not want it, we can choose between Rook or Alette to start the campaign.
The central aspect that can “worry” fans of the saga is how the control has been adapted, since switching from PCs to consoles is never easy. Strategy type games usually work much better thanks to the use of the mouse. And while it is planned that Xbox One is compatible with keyboard and mouse, for now we must stick to the use of the controller, just like on PS4. The adaptation is correct, it does not give problems, the options take the name of the buttons; but we lose agility. With the left stick we are going to choose units and squares to move to. We also move between attacks, and the buttons have a simple use : accepting, choosing a team or going back to the previous menu are some of its main options. Nothing to highlight that the lack of speed involved in losing the mouse is not a major problem in a title like the one in question, since the actions are carried out in turns , and we can take all the time in the world if we so wish.
Another section without variations is the visual one . The title moves wonderfully on consoles. Something that was to be expected given that The Banner Saga 2 is not a project so visually ambitious as to require many resources. What has more value in this case is that it is a PC adaptation that maintains total fluidity . The scenes are also reproduced in all their original quality, something to be appreciated when we are dealing with a title that has an outstanding artistic section. The Disney style of animation , colorful, detailed and with the appearance of being "drawn in pencil" is a hallmark of the saga from the first game. Everything, of course, in high definition. We can not avoid, sometimes, feel annoyed by the size of certain elements on the screen, be they letters or icons . This is quite widespread among the adaptations from PC to console, and although it does not always happen because the font is in good size, certain icons in the battles force the eyes to be forced. The same happens with the text in the lower left part of the screen, where even the images that mark the succession of turns can end up being annoying in different situations. The effect of bringing the camera closer during some battles is especially positive, and will help us to see all the details more clearly.
As for gameplay and mechanics , the title remains completely intact. A title subject to intense narration, with a combat system similar to that of Fire Emblem or Advance Wars : in turns, and based on a board style, something that conditions our performance. The Banner Saga 2 added destructible stage elements , which we could also use as parapets. Each character has an HP bar that will go down as it takes damage, exactly like the enemies, which we can attack whenever they are in our range to inflict damage, something that we will achieve if we move to the correct square. Movement is not free, there is a maximum range of displacement.
Outside of the fighting, we will have to read hundreds of dialogues during the 30 hours of the game , time to carry out elections that will influence the rest of the plot, this being another of the characteristics of The Banner Saga 2: each game is unique , and is that if a character dies, it will not appear again. It is your turn to remove, once again, the strategist you have inside, and guide these Vikings to a better future in their flight to save the human race. To finish, it is necessary to emphasize that the soundtrack of Austin Wintory is still a gem.
