Story
Players who bring up Story mostly praise it.
198 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The world has charm, wit, humor, and vibrant artwork for the characters and setting.
Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
107 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The only other negatives I could list are made up for by the stellar story, no-filler gameplay, and sheer authenticity and charm.
Combat
Players who bring up Combat mostly praise it.
87 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
So I don't feel like I can fault the game for rewarding me with being very effective in combat.
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
50 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Accompanied by a stirring soundtrack that alternates between gentle folk melodies and sweeping battle themes, the presentation creates a tone that feels both nostalgic and cinematic.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
34 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
It is also because of the mature themes that this indie explores here as, whilst it is by and large a colourful and endearing world from looking at the graphics alone, Small Saga tackles some sensitive topics that may come as rather unexpected for a title like this game here.
Characters
Players who bring up Characters mostly praise it.
23 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The 4 playable characters are very distinct from each other mechanically and compliment each other well and the actual fundamentals of the combat are very solid.
