Stoic completed telling their Viking-y fantasy story earlier this 12 months with The Banner Saga 3, and now solely violence stays. Yesterday they launched the turn-based tactical RPG’s Eternal Arena DLC, letting gamers struggle on and on in customisable sandbox battles. All the game’s heroes, villains, and maps are yours to toy with, and it has a weekly problem with leaderboards too. Eternal Arena might be the Varl’s concept of heaven, although most likely much less so for the weary people of the deathmarch caravans. The DLC is free for Banner Saga 3 Kickstarter backers, as a result of it was a stretch purpose, and a pair quid for everybody else.
As the DLC’s trailer demonstrates, Eternal Arena is a pure fightmode which lets us tinker with the setup of every part:
The Banner Saga Three is a game I dig extra for the story than its fight, even in its third iteration, and Katharine agreed in our The Banner Saga 3 review.
“As much as it feels genuinely refreshing for the first few hours, you soon realise you’re being hounded by the same half dozen or so enemy types every fight, and it all becomes a bit of a drag,” she stated. But the choices of Eternal Arena may create some extra attention-grabbing–and distinctive–situations. And possibly you simply actually wanna struggle?
Eternal Arena is £3.74/€4.99/$4.99 on Steam and GOG. If you backed the Kickstarter to get the game, you must now see the DLC added robotically to your library.
“The fans and backers have been an integral part of helping us deliver this game so we’re thrilled to introduce the last stretch goal to the final chapter in the Banner Saga series,” Stoic technical director John Watson stated within the launch announcement. A couple of backer rewards are nonetheless to exit, thoughts, and Stoic supply an update on the art book and LP.
