It's an unsatisfying folktale then, the kind where the storyteller insists on coughing and saying 'erm' a lot, when all you want them to do it get on with it and get to the good bit.

The amazing theme and artwork just can't carry the lackluster gameplay of Yaga.

Yaga is a nice looking game with Slavic mythology and interesting tasks and characters, which suffers from a limited combat system, bad map and interface, and an inefficient system of side tools that hang like a dead weight for most of the game.

Indie action-adventure Yaga blends Slavic folklore with unique gameplay mechanics, but its stumbling combat leaves something to be desired.

While this may be welcomed by players looking for a less intense experience, Yaga doesn't fulfill all its potential due to an exploration that feels too linear and a combat system that remains shallow. Its luck system also needs an improvement and the HD Rumble feature is not properly implemented, which end up harming what the Yaga experience could have been.

Yaga is a fun and artistically very inspired action RPG. Visually we are faced with a small masterpiece, which manages to paint a truly original picture of an absolutely fascinating mythology.

Yaga has bags of personality and benefits greatly from being steeped in superbly atmospheric Slavic folklore.

Yaga on PC is a fun romp through an underused setting. Slavic lore is fascinating and the game hands it to you by the bucket. However, while the story is fun, the setting is fantastic, and the graphics are terrific, Yaga's gameplay suffers from mediocrity despite some interesting-ish mechanics.

Yaga is an Action- RPG game which in some ways, reminds us of this genre's king, Diablo. Althought the game has problems in gameplay and some mechanics that you can't deny, but its good aspects are definitely more. The mythology and old atmosphere of the game, In addition to a masterpiece soundtrack and delightful graphic, provide an enjoyable experience for you. If you like isometric Action RPGs like Diablo, you should try Yaga.

If you can look past the gameplay problems you can easily get a couple different playthroughs in with this unlucky blacksmith.

Nice visuals and pagan dubstep are not enough to compensate boring and repetitive action and rudimentary RPG elements.

Yaga is an incredibly enjoyable action-RPG roguelike with a beautiful art style reminiscent of children's fairytales. Its unique setting utilises Slavic folklore in a meaningful way, and a wonderful score further complements this. At times, the combat can be tedious, but there is enough variation and weapon customisation to never get too stale.

Yaga is a real videogame fairy tale, which is evident not only from the narrative premises, but also from the way in which the game unfolds in its various aspects. The graphic rendering evidently recalls the books that accompanied our childhood, just like the narrative tenor of the amusing and rhyming dialogues. Fairy tale in which the player will outline the main character aspects of his blacksmith; all these elements make the game in question worthy of the attention of any player.

If you’re looking for a rogue-like action RPG with a refreshing flavour, then Yaga is the game for you. The actual combat and gameplay aren’t much to shout about, but the unique Slavic culture in the writing, characters and music more than make up for the game’s shortcomings.

Yaga offers a fun game filled with adventures and a great story. The battles can become a little too repetitive but in the end, it's a very enjoyable game.
