While the world waited with baited breath as announcements were pouring out of Google I/O yesterday, a small message appeared on the Twitter feed of Versus Evil. “We couldn’t be happier to see #BannerSaga by @StoicStudio coming to tablets this summer! Expect more info very soon!” What wonderful information can be found in a simple tweet!

Update: November 19th, 2014 3:35 pm PST: The wait is finally over! The highly-acclaimed epic viking story, The Banner Saga, is now available to download in the Google Play Store. The price is $9.99. This game has received numerous reviews, that absolutely rave about the quality of the story, music and art. This is one that shouldn’t be missed. If you are ready to dive in, the link to download the game, is available at the end of this article.

The Banner Saga was introduced on Kickstarter back in 2012 as role playing game for PC and Mac. Just to let you know how well it was received when it was introduced, the goal was $100,000. When the Kickstarter campaign ended it was fully funded at $723,886. To say gamers were excited about this project doesn’t quite fully describe it. The game reviews have been numerous and extremely positive. Later this summer, the game will arrive on tablets, which is a perfect format for this RPG.

The Banner Saga is an epic role-playing game inspired by Viking legend. Hand-painted landscapes portray a world eerily suspended in perpetual twilight. Cities and towns begin to crumble into chaos. Heroes abandon their hearths and homes to traverse the snowy countryside, gaining allies along the way to help battle a strange, new threat.  –Taken From Stoic Studio

The game play involves Turn-based strategy.  A look at the visuals created by Stoic Studio show the level of detail and thought put into each panel. If you haven’t had the opportunity to play this game on your PC/Mac, you won’t have to wait too much longer to play it on your tablet. We will wait for more information from Stoic Studio and Versus Evil their Marketing Team, to find out about pricing, the release date and what devices will have an opportunity to experience this Viking tale of adventure. Watch the trailer to prepare for the pending release of this great game.
