We hadn't mentioned it before, but the Vikings are coming! In a turn-based strategy slash role-playing game called The Banner Saga that is. What shall you do, then, dear honorary Viking, in this in-the-making debut entry from indie game developer Stoic? We are told a story-based single player campaign will be the main focus, but there's also a free standalone multiplayer component which will purportedly be released first as a forerunner. Count on a "strong emphasis on strategy and a lot of room for character advancement". By Odin, if the final outcome lives up to these base premises, it should help us stay cool this Summer.
