Small Saga is about a mouse who wants to kill God (Human). Along his journey he will join up with a mole who doesn't quite like their royal upbringing, a squirrel desperate to see his ancestry, and another mouse also spurned by the Gods. These characters are pretty dope I think, a pretty quiet kind of "damn, i liked those characters." The dialogue in this game has a bunch of modern language quirks in it, but I found it to just be like real. Someone called someone else a "softboi" and i was like "yeah okay, that fits".

Every party member has their "LGTB Agenda" and I was loving it. Main character might be Ace, the mole doesn't won't to be refereed to as a girl anymore, the squirrel is gay as fuck with his bf, and the other mouse is bi. I think its dope, its kind of just casual about it, because it is casual! Its just how these people are! If you gotta problem you are weird!

There is a whole section about fighting fascists, that segment is kind of cool. You can just tell how pointed these depictions are in this game; one of them is even like "Bro, debating me would have been more noble than violence".

The combat is cool, its fun. It's very easy though so I don't feel like there is too much to like get in depth with, which is sad. The game is also quite a bit shorter than I thought it would be. I think it could have stand to have a couple more hours but its chill.

I also like the visual style, it really reminds me of a isometric Gameboy Advance game, or even like a Mobile game of the Flipphone era (like the mobile port of Oblivion).

I played an early version of this. Solid game, and the developer was VERY cool 😎.

This is a rating of the demo that is out for this game, not the full release because it is not out yet as of today. I quite like the ideas that are presented in this little hour-long demo for the game. The imagery that attempts to depict how sentient rodents and other small creatures would build a society in our world is fairly entertaining, and cute. But what I find even more interesting is how this game depicts humans and other carnivorous species as these larger-than-life gods, who exceed the small creatures understanding of the world. It portrayed in a sort of Lovecraftian sense, particularly for the hazmat suit human (referred to as the yellow god). I do however wish the game had more to do and look at besides the main storyline, because when I attempted to look around in the one hub world, it was incredibly lacking in anything to do besides one item, and some admittedly interesting and fun books in the library. This is likely due it still being developed, but I do think adding sidequests, or even varying different stores and characters akin to how the Paper Mario series would help greatly in fleshing out this world. Overall, good demo, would recommend.
