Bludgeon the ancient monsters of Slavic folklore using a vast arsenal of hammers and tools forged by Ivan’s own hands.
Right from the get-go, you’ll notice that Yaga is heavily entrenched in Slavic Pagan mythology. From the settings and environments to the down-to-earth characters and writing.
It’s no secret that Yaga is designed with multiple play-throughs in mind. This is thanks mainly to the various dialogue options and choices you make as you progress.
Broken down into 4 main choices are Righteous, Selfish, Aggressive and Foolish. With each choice subtly affecting your path.
Upgrading also carries its own choices. These are Body, Mind and Fate. These will determine how you upgrade and how your stats grow.
Even choosing a mission gives you choices. It may be which day of the week to set off or time of day. These will grant you passive buffs, such as faster movement, better defence or weaker enemies.
The player’s active role in shaping the story goes much further. Yaga is actually framed as the titular Baba Yaga recounting a recent exploit to three other crones: the Weaver, The Reader and the Spinner. They help her successfully reach the end by suggesting small adaptations that translate to buffs and boons for Ivan.
Breadcrumbs Interactive certainly have done their best to make Yaga one of the most “craftable” experiences you’ll ever play. I’m confident Yaga will prove just as enjoyablefor anyone who wants to try this tale.
