I can’t really recommend Warbanners to anyone. Even the most hardcore of tactic fans should really play it at their own risk in the end. The good ideas are there, the tactics can be complex, but the overall design of Warbanners is completely broken to the point of souring the entire experience. It is a shame too, as good turn-based tactical games outside of the Fire Emblems and X-Coms of the world are hard to come by, but there will always be another game that will try to fill that gap in the future.

As such, Warbanners becomes quickly unplayable. It’s not pretty to look at or listen to, the story isn’t all that engaging, and the interesting tactical elements are hard to find under all the tedium. I would say that only a die-hard of the genre would appreciate it, but then, a die-hard would be turned off by the design flaws. It looks like we’ll have to wait a little longer for the next turn-based masterpiece.

Warbanners is a fine game with some redeeming qualities -- but it also has its fair share of uninspired elements. It's certainly not a bad game, but it's no Battle Brothers either. Unless you're specifically looking for a game like this, I'm not sure that you'll enjoy it. And even if you are a fan of this genre, you might find yourself struggling to stay engaged because it simply doesn't offer a unique enough experience to hold your attention.

For the genre, Warbanners hits many of the right notes. There are a few issues with controls for selecting units or performing the right action, but largely it's a decent tactical RPG. The graphics are horrendous, which goes beyond a simple aesthetic and becomes difficult to tell what is happening at times. Barring this negative, the game was made with heart, and those looking for a fantasy tactics game will like what this presents if they can get past the visuals.
