About Small Saga
Small Saga drops players into Rodentia, a medieval kingdom of rats, mice, moles, squirrels and shrews hidden beneath London’s streets. The mouse hero Verm seeks to reclaim his tail, stolen by the Yellow God of Death, and must confront a range of beasts and titans.
Presented as a single‑player, turn‑based adventure, the game focuses on strategic combat and boss encounters rather than grinding. Players assemble a cast of misfit rodents, explore the underground society, and work toward overthrowing the vermin rulers that dominate Rodentia.
01 / THE GUIDE
Underground Kingdom of Rodentia
The setting is a medieval kingdom of rodents concealed beneath London, populated by rats, mice, moles, squirrels and shrews. This hidden realm follows a single law—never attack a god—providing a narrative backdrop for the conflict that drives the story.
Verm’s tail is taken by the Yellow God of Death, prompting a quest that leads through the society of vermin and ultimately to an overthrow of the hideous rulers. The plot frames each encounter within this subterranean world.
- Notice how each rodent faction reflects a different facet of the underground society.
- Consider the law against gods as a narrative device that raises the stakes of Verm’s rebellion.

Strategic Turn‑Based Combat
Combat is turn‑based, requiring players to brandish tiny weapons and plan moves against enemies. The system emphasizes strategy over repeated encounters, focusing on boss battles rather than grinding.
Each battle pits the player’s rodent team against beasts and titans, demanding thoughtful positioning as you guide your rodent team through each fight. The design encourages careful planning rather than sheer number of fights.
- Treat enemy size and type as clues for optimal positioning.
- Observe how different rodent combos affect the flow of a turn‑based encounter.

Colorful Misfit Rodents
Players can team up with a diverse cast, including a swashbuckling water vole, a pious lab rabbit, and a poetry‑spewing kraken. Each character brings a distinct personality to the party and a hinted combat role.
The cast also features hideous vermin who run society, offering narrative contrast and opportunities for the player to challenge the existing order within Rodentia.
- Note how each character’s description hints at a possible combat function.
- Contrast the whimsical traits with the serious stakes of the quest.

Awe‑Inspiring Titans
The adventure is boss‑oriented, featuring titanic enemies that serve as major narrative milestones. These encounters are designed to be awe‑inspiring and test the player’s strategic planning.
Defeating each titan advances the story and brings Verm closer to reclaiming his tail, reinforcing the game’s focus on memorable, high‑impact battles rather than repetitive encounters.
- Study each titan’s pattern before committing to a full assault.
- Use the turn‑based pause to reassess your strategy after each titan phase.
