EDIT: The developers have abandoned post-game support for Factions until they finish the singleplayer trilogy. It's still a fun game, but the population has bottomed out. I played 400+ hours of Factions, and only wish it was supported more, as the potential was so high. I don't regret a single minute of playing, and thank the developers for at least making the game. My hope is that one day they return to Strand, re-release as a Advanced Edition with all the new characters from the singleplayer into Factions, add campaign maps and AI battles, and possibly the other cool features they've talked about in the past (2v2, town building and management). It can be where all their fans from the trilogy continue their viking journey, maybe even importing their own heroes from the singleplayer to the multiplayer. I doubt that Stoic will deliver on that, and if not the game will still remain one of my past favorites. -- Great visuals. Very unique gameplay mechanics, may not be to everyone's playstyle or liking. I like the in-game sounds and art style. It isn't pay-to-win at all. It does have a learning curve, and requires some grinding to get past the initial "newbie zone". Power level 6 is the motherland, aim to reach that for more frequent matches. I'm looking forward to the singleplayer counterpart to this. Would recommend this game to turn-based strategy enthusiasts, or viking fans. Not for the faint of heart, you will probably be sent to Valhalla for your first few matches. If you're unsure if its right for you, just try it out for a few games, its free after all.

СВОЕМУ СОПЕРНИКУ Я МОГУ РУКИ ОТОРВАТЬ, ЕСЛИ ЗАХОЧУ. Я СИЛАЧ.
This is a free to play PvP only version of the Banner Saga turn based tactical games. Developers should be aware by now that other players aren't an acceptable substitute for content. There's much better free to play PvP games out there, too. I can't really recommend this when the game format is better suited to story/content based progression. I do recommend the Banner Saga 1 & 2 from the same developer for people looking for a meaningful turn based tactical game, however.
It was good while it lasted.
This was a rly nice game, sadly nobody is playing this anymore... 😥
It's no longer available, but it was the best player community I was ever a part of. I will miss it greatly.

👎
Remember much fun with this turn-based Viking themed title. The art style was simple yet very well designed and drawn. The tactical combat was very engaging, and as usual I spent hours just experimenting with different builds and approaches to dispatching my opponents. Shame it's no longer around, R.I.P.
