Submission Saga: The Jiu Jitsu RPG

Roll. Submit. Climb the ranks.

You start as a white belt nobody. By the end you run the streets and the gym.

Submission Saga is a top-down pixel-art RPG that mashes Pokémon-style exploration with deep, 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 for that perfect lock-in and outthink six fighting archetypes that each have their own tells. Every fight is simultaneous-resolution chess scored by real BJJ points.

Outside the gym there's a whole world to work. Open a juice stand and stack it into an açaí shop, a training gym, and eventually your own jiu-jitsu company. Enter tournaments and climb the World Championship arena. Queue into ranked online matches against real players. Forage rare mushrooms in the forest, fish quiet ponds at dawn, and brawl street thugs in the alleys. Build your own signature submissions with the rare Custom Move Creator.

And yes, the supplement shelf is fully stocked. Creatine, pre-workout, and a few bottles with the labels scratched off. We don't ask. You shouldn't either.
