    I'm not finished with the game yet, but I felt compelled to go on metacritic and gush about it. The art is GORGEOUS. The music is really good. The translation is not perfect, but it's good enough. You could really tell the developers are big fans of French history and military tactics, as am I. Attention to detail and battle animations is what makes this game a 10 for me. I alwaysI'm not finished with the game yet, but I felt compelled to go on metacritic and gush about it.

Attention to detail and battle animations is what makes this game a 10 for me. I always did prefer the feeling of Warsong/Langrisser over Fire Emblem, and historical fiction over fantasy. Did I mention, the art is INCREDIBLE? It made me nostalgic for the days of anime when more attention was paid to hair and clothes. Anyway, going to get back to playing!… Expand

    Banner of the Maid is rough around the edges but past the pacing and localisation issues, players will find an engaging and unique narrative, along with easy to pick up gameplay that offers plenty of room to tailor the challenge.

    While Banner of the Maid nails the core mechanics and captures the essence of the genre, it’s hard to ignore the lackluster story and lack of modern features that are found in much of the competition. Its tactical RPG side shines and remains a solid choice for fans of the genre who appreciate the classic formula, but a little more polish wouldn’t hurt.

    Normally, a strategy RPG with solid gameplay, an interesting story, beautiful art and a strong soundtrack is one I'd be recommending without question and I really wish I could give Banner of the Maid that recommendation. The awful translation just manages to seep down and poison every aspect of the game though, at least a little bit. If you just want to focus on the battles and that's enough for you in this sort of title, you may find a lot to like. With the genre quickly becoming crowded on the Switch, though, there are simply better options for you to spend your time and money on.
