Small Saga, a turn-based role-playing game originally funded on Kickstarter, quietly landed on Nintendo Switch late last week via the Nintendo eShop.
The indie title, which previously earned a positive reception on PC, places players in the fur of Verm, a mouse on a revenge-driven quest beneath the streets of modern London.
According to the game's official description, Small Saga invites players to explore Rodentia, a medieval-style kingdom of rats, mice, moles, squirrels and shrews that exists under London's surface.
The protagonist, Verm, pursues a god who stole his tail—the Yellow God of Death—pitting the player against a range of beasts and towering titans in a compact, narrative-focused campaign.
The developer-promoted highlights have been rewritten for clarity: the game emphasizes strategic, turn-based combat with a small-but-colorful cast of rodent companions; it stages large, memorable encounters against titans and unique foes; and it focuses on boss-driven progression rather than extensive grinding.
Promotional copy also notes encounters with a swashbuckling water vole, a devout lab rabbit, and a poetry-reciting kraken among the game's roster of adversaries.
Key features
- Character-driven, turn-based combat tailored to small-scale tactical encounters.
- A boss- and story-oriented structure that minimizes traditional grind mechanics.
- A cast of misfit rodent allies and named titans to challenge over the course of the adventure.
- Settings that blend a modern London backdrop with an underground medieval society known as Rodentia.
Pricing and availability
Small Saga is listed on the Nintendo eShop with a regular price of $19.99 and a temporary launch discount of 10 percent, per the eShop listing at time of launch.
The title is already available to purchase on Switch; players can also find footage and a trailer through the publisher's official channels and the eShop product page.
Background and reception
The project began life on Kickstarter and expanded to PC prior to the Switch release.
Early PC coverage identified the game as a compact, tightly-focused indie RPG; the Switch launch brings that experience to Nintendo's handheld-console hybrid and makes Small Saga accessible to Switch owners who may have missed the PC release.
For readers tracking Switch releases, Small Saga represents another example of Kickstarter-funded indie titles finding a second life on Nintendo's platform.
Keep an eye on the eShop and official channels for updates, patches, and any post-launch announcements from the game's team.
