You lead a company of mercenaries through a 42-mission fantasy campaign, facing forces such as undead and orcs as a larger threat takes shape. The story unfolds through missions and briefings, with some choices affecting resources or the setup for later battles.
Battles are turn-based and tactical: position units, manage their fields of view, and account for light, terrain, morale, and fatigue. You can also alter the battlefield by freezing rivers, cutting or burning trees, digging trenches, and building bridges or barricades.
Between missions, recruit and equip soldiers, develop their fighting abilities, and assemble a squad for the challenges ahead. Noncombat assistants provide bonuses and options, while difficulty settings let you choose how demanding the campaign will be.
Players who enjoy Warbanners often praise its tactical battles, where positioning, terrain, light, and unit characteristics shape decisions, along with its varied missions and squad development. Some appreciate the demanding, old-school feel, but others find the frequent misses make fights slow or frustrating. Reviews also mention concerns about balance, crashes, and the inability to save during battles.
