Northern Saga

About The Game

Northern Saga is an Ogre Battle-inspired strategy RPG from Bluetome. It combines real-time movement with pausing and automatic tactical encounters, placing the emphasis on organizing squads and preparing formations before they enter combat. Units occupy positions on a 3-by-3 grid, where placement influences available abilities, bonuses, and combinations. Soldier, Archer, and Pilgrim form the foundations of a branching class system. Players can change classes and combine their skills with equipment effects to develop formations suited to different roles, including defensive groups and teams that pressure enemy back lines. The campaign follows Una through unrest in the Northern Territories, with clan recruitment, customization, and development supporting the effort to unite the region. Its narrative deals with intrigue, betrayal, and personal tragedy, presented through pixel-art environments and character scenes. Northern Saga is in development for Windows PC, with no full-release date announced. A public Steam demo became available on October 29, 2026. Its combat flow uses automatic skirmishes rather than individually selected turn-based commands.
