What is Bannerman?

In this single-player, 2D action-adventure, you play a man-at-arms crossing a war-torn medieval fantasy land to recover his lord's lost banner. You fight enemies and bosses using cuts, thrusts, parries and dodges, and unlock new techniques through combat treatises.

For you if...

  • +you enjoy studying enemy patterns before committing to attacks
  • +you prefer bleak war stories over heroic fantasy quests

Not for you if...

  • −you want fast, forgiving combat built around button mashing
  • −you avoid gore and graphic depictions of violence

What players say
