Description
Small Saga is a single-player, turn-based RPG that takes place in a medieval rodent society beneath the streets of modern London. The story follows Verm, a particularly angry mouse armed with a pen knife, who is hunting for the human who stole his tail. On the way, Verm befriends a mole wizard, a squirrel harlequin, and a lab rat lancer. Together, the party upend rodent society, clash with titans, and maybe even confront the gods themselves.
The game was funded by a Kickstarter, which successfully came to a close on the 4th of July, 2019.
The game successfully launched for PC on November 16th, 2023, and Nintendo Switch on August 14th, 2026.
Features

- Meet the hideous vermin who run society, then overthrow them.
- Enjoy simple but strategic, turn-based gameplay. A limited energy system encourages the player to wait for the perfect time to strike.
- There is no grinding. Small Saga is a tightly-focused and boss-oriented adventure.
