User Reviews

Banner Saga on iOS is lauded for its deep, story-driven narrative, rich art, and tactical depth, offering strong replay value and a clear no-paywall experience. Recurrent criticisms focus on readability (small text), the heavy emphasis on storytelling over traditional RPG gameplay, decisions that can feel unpredictable or ineffectual, and a sense that the game's length doesn’t always justify the price.

Pros

Deep, mature narrative with memorable characters and meaningful consequences
Tactical turn-based combat is approachable yet challenging, with depth
Beautiful art style and atmospheric world-building (Nordic/Viking vibe)
Replayability from branching choices and multiple outcomes
No freemium monetization; no in-app purchases

Cons

Text readability issues due to small font size on iPhone; font size not adjustable
Game feels heavily text-driven with limited interactive gameplay; some reviews describe it as more of a choose-your-own-adventure than a traditional RPG
Decisions and outcomes can feel random or have limited impact on the story
Perceived short length relative to price; the $10 price may not match content length for some players

I have bought this trilogy for the PC, switch, PS5 and now on my phone. Excellent strategy game with so much replay ability. Always gotta have it on me. Story is fantastic. Cant say enough good things about it. My only complaint is that they didn’t make more.

It’s just an impressive work. Puts to shame all the other games that try to grind your wallet with freemium BS. No in-app purchases. Just a truly memorable game.
