Started Playing Rainbow Moon

And I must say, I see what the fuss is about. Simple RPG mechanics make this highly addictive. It's definitely one of those games that you can play while laying down on your couch.

I chose to send Baldren into the game minimally equipped and got my ass soundly stomped the first couple of battles; by the 2nd death I made my way to Cassar and bought the first couple pieces of armor available. Spent the next 30 minutes levelling Baldren in the woods, and now I'm in some Mines on a sidequest. The whole thing feels a bit generic, but not at all in a bad way.

Gonna go play some more.

Couch sitting is the most fun game of all.

it was too grindy for me, but I thought it looked great, and it seemed otherwise chill. I don't think I'll go back to it, but I did enjoy it, I just got tired of it after a while. Glad you're enjoying it.

It's grindy for sure. In that, it reminds me of a Final Fantasy game

i really like how it looks though -- most Tactical RPG's are old these days and new ones aren't coming out except for Disgaea, and it's nice to see one with modern graphics. That's what's nice about Banner Saga too.

will banner saga play decent on a low-spec PC? that's what I'm working with.

there might be a demo on steam. it's not 3D, is all cel-shaded, and I imagine it would work on a machine that's not too powerful. I'm looking at the specs now and you only need 2 gigs of ram, windows xp, and no 3d card. So I bet it would work.
