Dans ce jeu de stratégie tactique au tour par tour mâtiné d'éléments RPG, le cœur de l'action repose sur la gestion d'une escouade de mercenaires. Les joueurs affrontent 42 missions de campagne scénarisée dans un univers fantasy, en constituant leurs armées au fil du recrutement de soldats, de leur équipement et de l'amélioration de leurs compétences. Les assistants octroient des bonus tels que des catapultes ou des boosts de moral sans participer au combat, tandis que les affrontements intègrent le terrain, l'éclairage, la vision des unités, le moral et la fatigue.
La profondeur tactique s'exprime pleinement par la manipulation du champ de bataille : gel des rivières, abattage d'arbres pour les incendier, creusement de tranchées, ou construction de ponts et barricades. Plusieurs niveaux de difficulté conviennent aux débutants comme aux experts confrontés à des menaces grandissantes. Les fans hardcore de stratégie en quête de légende dans un RPG fantasy sombre trouveront là un défi à leur mesure.
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.

• 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?
