Crasleen Games has released Warbanners for PC and Linux for $19.99.
Warbanners is a fantasy strategy game which offers up a tactical affair with RPG leanings allowing players to manage a squad of mercenaries. Gamers get the chance to take their squad through tons of missions and battles for an overall immersive gameplay experience.
Warbanners offers gamers a turn-based, tactical strategy experience with role-playing elements. The action-packed combat is carried over a campaign over 42 missions offering up a wide variety of environments and enemies. The multi-faceted battle system allows you to master everything from the terrain to special units in order to win the battle.
The game allows you to hire and equip soldiers and assistants in order to develop their skills for the battlefield. Players can manipulate everything around them such as chopping down trees, constructing barricades and even freezing rivers. The graphics and soundtrack are spot on for this type of game and offer an even more immersive experience.
In the end, Warbanners is a solid strategy game but is geared toward more diehard fans of turn-based, strategy games.
