Small Saga is a proper love letter to the 16-bit RPGs of yesteryear that has the plot, polish, and personality to lift it over its smaller setbacks. I loved the characters and their motivations, the smooth animations, the overall graphical quality, and especially the bosses. Even though the battle system was more of a plot device than a main facet, Darya Noghani has done a fine job making a big success out of his small compadres.
