At this time, the game is not worth a purchase. The Developers have seemingly abandoned it, as there are continuous server issues that cause the game to lag with little respite. Typically it will be all players within select public (matchmaking) servers, making the game quite unplayable for a while. This lag is not reflective on individual players pings and is instead coming from the Torn Banner servers directly.

Whether Torn Banner knows of these issues or are simply ignoring them is unknown, as the developers have effectively abandoned the game at this point. There is a vague "Path Forward" the developers put out several months ago which the developers claimed that the game is "feature complete". This statement being made while a plethora of bugs still plague the game, many of which have been present since or around launch.

The disappointing fact is that at this point, an otherwise enjoyable game is not worth purchasing or playing because it is nearly unplayable with certain connection issues and bugs. You have been warned - perhaps pick up the game once you've gotten some measure of assurance that the game will receive better support in the future, if that is even possible now with the Torn Banner moving on to a new IP entirely.

Game will not let you play it unless specific security features on your windows OS are disabled. It's honestly pretty shocking and could be grounds for a lawsuit

Game was great until the devs abandoned it.
