Sword & Banner is a real-time strategy game where you lead a warband across a fantasy medieval world, raiding settlements, hunting down bandits, trading goods, and building your army for large-scale pixel-art battles.

Command Your Warband

Select, group, and maneuver your troops with classic RTS controls. Form shield walls to absorb incoming attacks, order devastating cavalry charges, and rain longbow volleys on enemy formations. Every unit is an individual with a name, experience, and an upgrade path from peasant to knight.

Fight Beautiful Pixel-Art Battles

Battles play out on procedurally generated maps across multiple biomes and seasons - from sun-drenched grasslands to snow-covered mountain passes. Watch rain darken the earth and snow settle on the ground as you fight. Zoom in to see every sword swing, or pull back to command the full battlefield.

Explore a Living World

Travel between towns and villages on a sprawling overworld. Settlements have populations, industries, and dynamic economies - prices shift with supply and demand. Buy low, sell high, recruit fresh troops, and upgrade your veterans.

Build Your Army

Start with peasants and shape them into swordsmen, archers, spearmen, and beyond. Every unit earns XP in battle and carries their kills with them.
