Two questions:
1. How is The Banner Saga?
2. What is The Banner Saga?

1. Sadly, not good. It's a turn-based strategy RPG. However, each side only gets to move one unit before it switches to the other side's turn (even if you have a heavy man advantage, you never get two moves in a row until there's literally only one enemy left and it switches to pile-on mode), you don't get to choose which unit to move, and each unit's HP also affects how strong it is. All that combined leads to stupid unintuitive bullshit like it being better to leave enemies alive at like 2hp rather than killing them so the enemy has to waste turns on moving half-dead idiots that can no longer accomplish anything.

Basically, the devs thought it was a good idea to put a rubber-banding mechanic in a strategy RPG.
