The ex Star Wars: The Old Republic developers put up a KickStarter for their 'viking' RPG last night:

The Banner Saga

THE GAMEOur first priority has always been to make a
role-playing game that feels and looks fresh, and plays like the classic
tactical strategy games of our childhood. It's not about defeating the
villain and saving the day. It's not about grinding to get past the next
fight. The Banner Saga throws you into the end of the world and asks
"how do you deal with this"?


  • DRM-Free, and available on PC and Mac

  • Not another generic fantasy: Drawing heavily from Norse culture
    while creating its own identity and mythology, The Banner Saga takes a
    low-fantasy approach to viking themes. Giants: yes. Horned helmets: no.

  • Strategic combat: Recruit a large roster of unique characters
    throughout the story, each with different abilities that interact in
    combat in a deeply tactical way and personalities of their own. The
    Banner Saga harkens back to classic turn-based gameplay with a strong
    emphasis on tactics over brute force and endless grinding.

  • Travel across gorgeous landscapes: The choices you make as events
    arise have a huge affect on how the story plays out- who survives, who
    dies, and what's worth saving. Add people to your caravan as you travel,
    or lose them when tough decisions arise. You're not just fighting to
    save nameless strangers, you're fighting for your neighbors, your family
    and your way of life. We want you to care what happens to them.

  • An emphasis on story: Your choices in dialogue and throughout the
    game truly affect the story and the people around you. A mature story
    for adults means forming relationships and making tough decisions; not
    sex, violence and swearing.

  • Play online: Though the single-player campaign is our focus, The
    Banner Saga provides a deep multiplayer game; build a unique party of
    characters and battle friends and enemies in multiplayer combat. Upgrade
    your party over time and devise new strategies.

  • Risk in gameplay: A lot of modern games play it safe- you know
    you'll defeat the evil and save the day. In The Banner Saga you can't
    take anything for granted. We want it to feel like a good tv
    mini-series; the world doesn't revolve around you, it's about how you
    deal with change.

And the actual page is a lot more descriptive so you should just read that and watch the video.

I haven't played The Old Republic for more than 5 minutes so I'm not entirely sure what to expect of the game itself. But the game is only $10 during the KickStarter so I went ahead with a pledge.
