Warbanners - Review @ TechRaptor

TechRaptor has reviewed Warbanners:

Warbanners Review

The recent talk about difficulty and journalists is one that is baffling to me, as the point of a video game is, first and foremost, to always have fun with it. Difficulty is always hard to gauge because it’s subjective. Some players love the “Nintendo Hard” of yesterday, the aggravating, annoying insanity difficulties akin to Cuphead that offers the perfect placebo for perfection. Others prefer the more casual experience, the simplistic charms of a Super Mario Odyssey that offers a fun experience without being overly hardcore.

Amid all of this are the worst kind of games, the ones hard for hard sake; the ones designed, intentionally or not, for the player to fail. These types of games are often difficult to describe, but it often boils down to the game’s overall design working against the player by being overly unfair. A sad example of this, the indie game Warbanners, is textbook to this for various reasons- least of which the fact that I couldn’t even finish the last mission of the game without cheating due to these design flaws.

[...]

Summary

The good ideas are there, the tactics can be complex, but the overall design of Warbanners is completely broken to the point of souring the entire experience.

Pros

  • Good In-Game Tactics...
  • Various Missions Full of Choices...

Cons

  • ...With Little Chance Of Using Tactics To Your Advantage
  • ...Uninteresting, Linear Narrative
  • Imbalanced Combat
  • Poor In-Game Progression
  • Wide Variance Of Randomness
  • Forgettable Graphics and Music

Score: 4/10

Warbanners - Version 1.0.7 released

by Hiddenx, 08:01

Patch 1.0.7 for Warbanners is live:

A Few Minor Changes and Now Available in Portuguese!

Version 1.0.7 is released. Changes include:- Added Portuguese (European) language. Many thanks Tiago!!!

  • If Accuracy of an attacker equals Evasion of a defender, To-hit chance is 55%. Each 1 point in difference between Accuracy and Evasion changes the To-hit chance by 5%. To-hit chance can not be less than 10%.
  • The share of experience gained by magicians has been slightly reduced.
  • Fixed a bug related to not receiving karma in the "Scapegoat" mission.
  • Slight adjustments to AI.
  • Music no longer plays when the game window is minimized or another application/program is selected.
  • Problems with ultra-wide monitors (2560 x 1080, 3440 x 1440) and 4K monitors. Unfortunately, we don't have such monitors, and are therefore working blindly. This build, of course, does not solve all the problems, but we hope that we are moving in the right direction. Please share with us what issues remain here (Screenshots would very much be of help – thank you for understanding!)

Warbanners - Released

by Hiddenx, 19:25

The turn-based, tactical strategy game with role-playing elements Warbanners has been released yesterday:

Warbanners

Warbanners is a turn-based, tactical strategy game with role-playing elements. Managing a squad of mercenaries, the player will experience the story campaign's 42 missions, battle through a meticulously crafted fantasy world, and achieve the ultimate goal: become a true legend!

Key features:

  • Create and modify your unique, well-prepared army; hire and equip soldiers, develop their fighting qualities, and learn new exotic skills.
  • Hire assistants! They will not participate in battles themselves, they never engage in dangerous activities, but they will provide you with several bonuses and options. Expect a catapult, poisoned enemies, increased morale, and much, much more.
  • Immerse yourself in a multi-faceted battle system that takes into account a variety of factors, including landscape morphology and lighting, each unit's field of view, morale, and even fatigue.
  • Manipulate the battlefield environment to gain tactical advantages! Freeze rivers, chop down and burn trees, dig trenches, construct bridges and barricades, and so on.
  • Choose the optimal level of difficulty for your tactical fantasy RPG experience; from easy for beginners, to nightmarish for sophisticated tacticians.
With every step you take in Warbanners -each and everyone marked by blood and iron- an invisible but deadly threat will become more tangible. Darkness itself, brooding in the corners of your soul, shall become ever more palpable.

Who said earning your place among ancient legends would be easy?
