Submission Saga: The Jiu Jitsu RPG

You start as a white belt nobody. By the end you can be a world championship black belt.

Submission Saga is a top-down pixel-art RPG that mixes Pokémon-style exploration with turn-based Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. Train at the gym. Level up eight BJJ stats. Unlock new techniques as you climb the belts. Time the submission gauge to get a perfect lock-in and outthink six jiu jitsu archetypes. Every fight is simultaneous-resolution scored by real BJJ points.

Outside the gym there’s a whole world to explore. Enter tournaments, defeat gym leaders, and fight at the World Championship arena. Forage mushrooms in the forest, fish quiet ponds, and brawl street thugs. Build your own signature submissions with the Custom Move Creator.

The supplement shelf is fully stocked. Creatine, pre-workout, and a few bottles with the labels scratched off.
