Evaluation

Warbanners launched on October 18, 2017 as a complete turn-based tactical RPG featuring a 42-mission story campaign. The developer released one paid DLC, "Death Speaker," on March 29, 2018 — the only post-launch content addition to the game. Since then, Crasleen Games has shifted its focus entirely to a follow-up title, Veterum. Every developer communication since August 2022 has been about Veterum, which the developer explicitly described as implementing features they couldn't fit into Warbanners. Veterum entered Early Access on November 27, 2025, and as of July 5, 2026, the developer announced it will leave Early Access and launch in full on September 7, 2026. None of these posts reference any planned updates or additions to Warbanners. There are no unreleased DLC entries for Warbanners, no developer statements about future Warbanners content, and the studio is actively shipping a separate game. Warbanners has been a finished product since the Death Speaker DLC released in March 2018.

About this game



Warbanners is a turn-based, tactical strategy game with role-playing elements. Managing a squad of mercenaries, the player will experience the story campaign's 42 missions, battle through a meticulously crafted fantasy world, and achieve the ultimate goal: become a true legend!

Key features:
• Create and modify your unique, well-prepared army; hire and equip soldiers, develop their fighting qualities, and learn new exotic skills.
• Hire assistants! They will not participate in battles themselves, they never engage in dangerous activities, but they will provide you with several bonuses and options. Expect a catapult, poisoned enemies, increased morale, and much, much more.
• Immerse yourself in a multi-faceted battle system that takes into account a variety of factors, including landscape morphology and lighting, each unit's field of view, morale, and even fatigue.
• Manipulate the battlefield environment to gain tactical advantages! Freeze rivers, chop down and burn trees, dig trenches, construct bridges and barricades, and so on.
• Choose the optimal level of difficulty for your tactical fantasy RPG experience; from easy for beginners, to nightmarish for sophisticated tacticians.



With every step you take in Warbanners --each and everyone marked by blood and iron-- an invisible but deadly threat will become more tangible. Darkness itself, brooding in the corners of your soul, shall become ever more palpable.
Who said earning your place among ancient legends would be easy?
