Banners & Bastions is a 3D tabletop real-time strategy game in mixed reality. Command your troops and fortify your kingdom to defeat the enemy in dynamic and epic battles!

"Not Suspicious is building a track record here of developing mixed reality games with smart design that embrace the idea that a good game in a headset doesn't necessarily need to take over your whole environment to work. Banners & Bastions' visuals are clean, the controls are intuitive, and the gameplay is satisfying, all set inside a well-structured package."
Tony Carter @ VR Reviews
"5 minutes in, you'll know what's going on. 15 minutes in, you'll be explaining it to your friends. Placing units, casting spells, and panning the map feels so natural you'll forget you're even controlling anything at all. It just works. This one is a definite 100% recommended purchase for me, and I just can't wait for more."

"As someone who usually plays action games, I'd consider this the surprise hit of the year, as it came out of nowhere yet is one of the most fun games I've played in months. Regardless of what genre you're usually into, I can easily recommend Banners & Bastions. It's very easy to learn and understand, but hard to master. You can easily sink hours into this game."

"This is easily my favorite hand-tracking experience and arcade minigame experience since I've started playing VR. The gameplay is great. The hand controls are great. The animation and art is awesome. The music's awesome. The upgrade tree is all interesting. The difficulty seems fair. This is 2 games in a row from this developer that I have enjoyed. Superb!"

"I generally just love this game. It's a chill, fun game to play in whatever downtime you have.... It's just like little bite-sized sessions you can play. It's kind of just the perfect game for mixed reality hand-tracking. I highly recommend it. These games are amazing. Keep at it Not Suspicious! I love what you guys are doing!"

"This one's done really well. You can tell that love was put into it and they kind of knew what they were doing. They were like me: they've played tower defense games before, and just wanted to add their own mark to it. Luckily enough, their mark was a good mark. Oh heck. I'm going to be giving Banners & Bastions a whopping great 8 out of 10 just because I've had so much fun with it!"
