The Banner Saga 2 Survival Mode comes as a free update
Survival Mode was added to The Banner Saga 2, a turn-based RPG set in a Viking fantasy world. In it, your team of heroes will be battle-tested against increasingly difficult waves of enemies.
The latest game update for The Banner Saga 2 added Survival Mode, which puts you up against 40 rounds of increasingly difficult combat. Before you start fighting, you must build a team of 6 heroes from all characters available. However, if one of them dies in combat, they’re gone for the remaining battles. On the other hand, victories grant you Renown points, which you can use to recruit new heroes to replace the fallen ones or purchase new gear. In order to increase the pace of gameplay a 30-second timer for each turn was added.
Surivival Mode can be completed on three difficulty levels, so to offer a challenge to veterans as well as let the less experienced players have fun. Besides, enthusiasts of competitive play will be glad to know that the mode features leaderboards.
The Banner Saga 2 is a sequel to the well-received turn-based RPG set in a Viking fantasy world. The game launched on PC on April 19, 2016 and is also coming to Xbox One and PlayStation 4 on July 26, and later to mobile platforms as well. It is likely that future releases will include Survival Mode from the start.
