Reviews

“...it can be quite hard but it’s also very rewarding, and deserving of any praise it gets.”

“Bannerman is a hard, brutal game that manages to mix difficulty and combat rhythm together to form a meditative, deep, and fulfilling side-scroller.”
9/10 – Game Skinny

“Fans of skill-based combat who are interested in the masterfully created retro visuals will get a short but intense journey through the gritty side of war in medieval times.”
7.5/10 – Worth Playing

About This Game

Bannerman is a gritty, dark and atmospheric medieval action-adventure with challenging skill-based combat inspired by historical swordsmanship.

You play as a man-at-arms who is left for dead following a terrible battle. On awakening you discover your lord's banner has been lost. Bound in service to your lord, you must now travel across a war-torn medieval land in pursuit.

With a sinister atmosphere, bleak narrative and punishing combat, Bannerman explores the dark side of medieval fantasy. You are not a valiant questing hero, and there are no knights in shining armour to be found in this world.

Key Features:

Intense medieval combat! Cut, stab, parry, dodge, punch, kick and bash your enemies using authentic techniques researched and compiled from historical sources.
A dark narrative explores the senseless brutality of war in a medieval-fantasy world.
16-bit rotoscoped animations capture the authentic movement of characters and the impact of medieval combat!
An amazing soundtrack sets the scene - combining acoustic guitars, banjos and folk instruments to create a haunting atmosphere.
A focus on skill-based melee combat rewards careful timing and cautious engagements.
Face off against deadly bosses in brutal duels to the death!
Unlock combat treatises as you progress - discover new abilities and combat techniques!
