Yaga

About

Yaga is a single-player action RPG where you play Ivan, a blacksmith cursed with relentless misfortune. Set in a folkloric Slavic world, the game blends combat, crafting, and dialogue-driven choices that shift the story. You’ll face supernatural threats, manipulate time to undo mistakes, and navigate a world where every decision feels personal. The tone balances dark humor with mythic stakes, letting you approach problems through brute force, clever tricks, or diplomacy. The game’s hand-drawn art style and quirky characters stand out, though its length and pacing have divided players. Metacritic scores hover around 65, with praise for creativity and criticism for uneven difficulty spikes. With releases on multiple platforms including iOS and Mac, it offers a portable entry point for fans of choice-heavy narratives. Yaga’s charm lies in its irreverent take on folklore and the freedom to rewrite your own bad luck, though some found the story’s twists harder to stomach than others.
