7th Saga - The New Class

Game Overview
7th Saga, released by Enix in 1993 for the Super Nintendo Entertainment System, is a turn-based RPG that stands out from its peers with a distinctly somber tone and a focus on player choice. It arrived during a period when many RPGs were bright and heroic, but this one offered a more ambiguous world where alliances were fragile and the stakes felt genuinely personal.You choose one of seven unique protagonists, each with different abilities and story motivations, and set out to collect seven magical runes before rival adventurers do. Exploration happens screen by screen across an overworld and in multi-level dungeons, with turn-based combat triggered by random encounters that are notoriously difficult. The game's pacing is deliberate, even slow, and the high challenge means every resource and decision matters. It feels like a tense, lonely race against time where no one can be fully trusted.
