### 3/5 — hyped

*2025-11-03, version 1.0.7*

very well made, but still hyped and limited.....my idea of RPG is something like Neverwinter Nights or Baldur s Gate. Got bored with this pytty quickly

### 3/5 — Not working any more

*2025-10-25, version 1.0.7*

I’ve been planning to get around to playing this - loved the first game - and finally opened it only to find that it just dumps me back onto my homepage. Must need an iOS update

### 4/5 — Техническая проблема.

*2024-08-12*

После покупки режима выживания игра зависла. После перезагрузки телефона теперь не запускается, с заставки сразу крашится. Телефон iPhone 13 mini. Переустановка не помогла.

### 3/5 — Please put 3 on the iPad!!

*2024-05-24, version 1.0.7*

How come you don’t put the last game on the iPad so I can continue the story? This is so disappointing to fans.

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work

*2023-08-02, version 1.0.7*

Game crashes on start up

### 1/5 — wont open at all

*2023-06-27, version 1.0.7*

dead app, 2019 ipad pro with latest iOS and it crashes immediately. wont open at all.

### 1/5 — ULTRA CRASHES vs. Artful Strategy Game

*2023-06-14*

This 5-Star game will now not open…
After paying extra for the Survival mode a couple days ago 09JUN2023 (which I did not mind), the game will now not open. It crashes immediately upon start- kind of a slap in the face after supporting their add-on.

I’ve heard the developer talk about the lack of respect mobile gamers have in regards to paying for premium mobile games. I don’t blame them and am happy to support premium mobile masterpieces like this, but Stoic needs to also hold up their end of the bargain. This not only includes making their games properly work on modern iOS releases, but completing the last 1/3rd of the trilogy as well- Kind of a necessity, as let’s be honest, these games on their own are short with incomplete story lines.

I hope they fix this game as it is was one of the few, premium, non-pay-to-play/ in-app purchase/ artless pieces of trash 99% of mobile games are. 
Please Fix!!

This was my old review:
Artfully made strategy game with a story heavy choice/ reward mini-game component. - Beautiful art and story. - Game journey map with great lore. - Deep and satisfying strategic combat. My only complaint (which is the same on consoles / desktop) is the lack of ability to rotate the camera. - I’m grateful such an awesome game is available on iOS in the first place, so thank you! - Of course, part 3 would be great!

**Developer response:** Thank you for the positive and well detailed review! Unfortunately we don't have any current plans to port part 3 to mobile, but we do hope to do so in the future. When we have a timeline for this, we'll post the announcement on our social media channels (@BannerSaga). Thank you for your support. 🙂

### 5/5 — Need Banner Scrolls 3!

*2025-11-11, version 1.0.7*

Amazing game. No ads or pay to play. Great story, with consequences, strategy, and characters to enjoy.

Please release Banner Scrolls 3 for iOS!

### 5/5 — Will BS3 ever come to iPad?

*2025-06-19, version 1.0.7*

Banner Saga is one of the few games that I’ve replayed several times and own on several platforms. My favorite platform for this series is iPad! For several reasons, it just feels right. Controllers and PC/Mac are awkward in ways that make the iPad with the touch screen just ideal. But here we are in 2025 and BS3 on iOS is still nowhere to be seen. Any chance we might see it someday?

### 5/5 — This seems like a good game.

*2025-05-28, version 1.0.7*

But why isn’t it full screen. Is there a way to adjust this, I’m on an iPhone 13

### 5/5 — Игра супер!

*2025-04-30*

Где 3 часть на айпаде? Очень удобный формат прохождения на нем именно.

### 5/5 — DEPOIS DO IOS 18.4 O JOGO TÁ FUNCIONANDO!

*2025-04-02*

ESSE É O MELHOR JOGO DE CELULAR QUE JOGUEI, ATUALIZEM POR FAVOR, ESTÁ FUNCIONANDO MAS SERIA ÓTIMO UMA ATUALIZAÇÃO PRA PREENCHER A TELA CHEIA NO iPHONE 13.

### 5/5 — Amazing game

*2025-01-24, version 1.0.7*

An amazing game with a gripping story and well-developed characters. I especially loved the decision-making aspect, as it added depth and made the journey feel personal. Highly recommend it!

### 5/5 — Enthralling

*2024-10-30, version 1.0.7*

This game series has fascinated me for years. It is intricate, involved and difficulty. I cannot play it when as a second screen distraction because it is entirely too distracting! It is not for everyone, as it requires some relatively deep thinking and patience. The game has infuriated me infrequently but when I win these challenges, I feel validated by myself. There are very few games I can say this about.

### 5/5 — Great, handmade graphical rpg

*2023-05-05, version 1.0.7*

Hello, I bought this on Steam at release.. and it was terrific, but certain story lines would bug out for me.

Now i have ios, so am excited. Keep up the great work!

5 stars easy

### 5/5 — Third part needed!!!

*2023-04-03, version 1.0.7*

Grat game, love the tactics, and kind a cruel deppressive story, but whatever life in cold wildernes whith evil everywhere is though. But where is the THIRD PART?!? Please help mi sleep in peacufull calm that I know the ending (and also let me f@€)& play!)
So developers Im waiting for your answer…

### 5/5 — Game doesn’t work on iOS 16

*2023-03-05, version 1.0.7*

It’s a fantastic game and I’ve loved it on mobile before, that’s why I’m still giving it five stars. However it will not open on iOS 16. It crashes on start every time. For that reason I can’t recommend buying on iOS until resolved.
