Ratings and reviews

I put the permissions too. Either on SD Card or Internal Storage. I pressed the allow files option. Then, seconds later. It isn't working well. And it is not working properly. Help please. Thanks. The allow files for The Banner Saga 1, are not working properly. Help please!

Best Phone RPG ever... Only 10 hours in but worth every penny. Beautiful lore, art, and music. No ads or in-app purchases. A throwback to when RPGs were more of a "choose your own adventure novel" with clear points where you make important choices as opposed to the modern go-anywhere sandbox. But the decisions are interesting, difficult, and meaningful in lots of ways. Easy to play for half hour intervals.

The storyline is immersive and although the battle system appears a bit complicated at first, it is easy enough to pick up and master. But despite that, I can't give this any more than 3 stars - first, because the story ends too quickly and second, because for a paid product still available for sale it seems this is only minimally maintained especially for newer devices. I experienced a crash at first launch and I'm currently unable to play the game because of an infinite loading screen.
