The amazing theme and artwork just can't carry the lackluster gameplay of Yaga. The frustrating luck system affects so much of the game, and it's hard to get invested in the crafting when your weapons just keep breaking.

Critic Reviews
Yaga: An Occasionally Tedious Wonder – PC Review
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 has bags of personality and benefits greatly from being steeped in superbly atmospheric Slavic folklore. It's well-written, features lots of excellently-delivered dialogue and has a fantastically kooky sense of humour, all of which helps to carry it along in spite of its bland level design and run-of-the-mill combat. The choices you make as you play through Ivan's adventure do actually affect proceedings enough that the whole thing warrants more than one playthrough and, if you can make peace with that pretty nonsensical bad luck mechanic and uninspiring gameplay, you'll find a fun little adventure here featuring a cast of characters who are well worth spending some time with.
