A medieval rodent society beneath the streets of London, and one angry mouse armed with a pen knife.

Small Saga's profile pulls in two directions at once. On very few votes, so to confirm, attachment comes out on top, ahead of 70% of games, which fits a narrative RPG where you grow to love a band of tiny heroes. But look at the contrast. Both fun and controller feel drop to the very bottom, ahead of less than a tenth of the field, on few duels. The soundtrack and the art style sit in the lower-middle. There's the real tension: you bond with the journey, but the act of playing itself doesn't win you over yet, early votes to confirm.

Among indie turn-based RPGs, Small Saga lives more through its writing and its world than the depth of its battles. It's a tale before it's a system.

So, who's it for? You, if you love a tender, inventive story, characters you grow attached to, an original world you travel through for what it tells. Much less so if you're after controller-in-hand snappiness first, or combat that keeps you on edge.
