"Despite some bugs (unfortunately, not a playable race but the game crashing kind) and a feeling of complexity that might be off-putting at first, Banners of Ruin is a smart and creative take on two very familiar genres. With a world, story, and characters that are a refreshing departure from the usual dark fantasy tropes, and gameplay that is engaging and addicting, the biggest knock against it might be players’ potential reticence to dive into yet another deck builder/roguelike. That would be a shame, and anyone who has grown weary of the genre might be pleasantly surprised by Banners of Ruin."

Banners of Ruin is a deck-building strategy game where you lead a band of animal rebels against a tyrannical noble house. Each of your six companions brings distinct cards and abilities, letting you craft a deck that adapts to shifting challenges. Combat unfolds in tight, turn-based encounters as you push through Dawn's Point, balancing resource management with tactical positioning. Every decision carries weight, you'll face scenarios that test your resolve, often forcing you to sacrifice allies in your quest for vengeance. The game stands out for its layered strategy and emotional stakes. With over 200 hours of playtime reported by some fans, the combination of procedural scenarios and permanent character deaths adds lasting tension. While the medieval animal theme feels familiar, the depth of deck customization and moral dilemmas keeps matches fresh. A smaller but dedicated community praises the game’s challenging difficulty and satisfying progression, though newer players might find the learning curve steep.

Travel with up to six characters through the streets of Dawn's Point, facing perilous combat encounters at each turn. Take revenge on the Enders for what they did to the noble House Blackfoot, but expect to lose some brothers along the way.
