The game looks directly like The Banner Saga but still has something to offer. Here we have a strong story in a beautiful setting, nice visuals and a good combat system. Nothing completely new but if you like strategies you will enjoy the game. What is great: it really makes you feel everything you do is important. No matter who dies - the story doesn’t stop.
By the way, there’s two little disappointments: no voice acting and badly written dialogues. Still, that doesn’t ruin the game and I recommend to play it.

The closest score for this is “meh”. Nothing is really bad - it’s just not an original product. It takes everything from The Banner Saga without any improvement. Instead, the game fails where the Saga was great: in combat and the setting in general. Maybe, the developers tried to make something unique but in the end they created a messy story and frustrating fighting mechanics.
I admit, this game can be enjoyable - I spent several hours playing it. But there always be the reason to skip it for better one - The Banner Saga itself.
