A mix of Turn Based Strategy, resource management and a choose-your-own-adventure book, with a heavy focus on story. The TBS aspect of it isn't too different from games like Fire Emblem, but instead of moving all your characters in your turn, you switch after every character. The Banner Sage really excels in its narrative, it creates an interesting world and forces you to make hard choices that aren't as black and white as most games have.

For $20, I was pleasantly surprised by the number of hours this game provided, as well as how polished the gameplay experience was. I found it to be a unique choose your own adventure with mostly traditional fantasy elements. The combat was turned based, and reminded me of Heroes of Might and Magic. Overall I'd recommend it for anyone that enjoys strategy games.

This collection contains three excellent Banner Saga games in one convenient package. The Banner Saga games are turn-based strategy RPGs, and it's recommended that you play them in order for the full experience. Just be careful that not all games are on the included cart, and there's an additional Nintendo eShop code that you will need to redeem.

I absolutely love this series. The art style is great, the storytelling is enthralling, and the strategy takes thought and planning without being too overwhelming. I've played it through already, but had to buy it for the Switch to support the devs and because the games have a high replay value.

This is a great trilogy of games that look awesome! There are tons of characters to play and everything is hand drawn. Also if you get this on sale, which best buy has had a few of them lately, it is a no brainer. If you like strategy games at all, get this game!

This is a wonderful saga with beautiful artwork! Originally a kickstarter game that got funded because of the deep lore and art style, it ended up being a wonderful tactics game that didn't hold your hand. Tactic games are a treat on the switch with it's ability to be portable!

Might not have been the best idea to get this as my first game for my switch because it’s definitely gonna be hard to match it! Such amazing graphics and storyline! Definitely love this game!
