Smash, clobber and bash the murderous legends of Slavic mythology in this darkly funny action role-playing game that changes every time you play. Play as Ivan, a one-handed blacksmith with incredibly bad luck, who must take on the impossible tasks given to him by the tzar. All the while the mysterious witch, Baba Yaga, watches over Ivan's fate. The world of Yaga is a world steeped in Slavic folklore and ancient Pagan beliefs. Featuring a head-bobbing Romanian hip-hop soundtrack from Subcarpați and striking, hand-drawn 2D artwork. Yaga is an authentic love letter to childhood fables from Romanian indie developer, Breadcrumbs Interactive. • Bludgeon the ancient monsters of Slavic folklore using a vast arsenal of hammers and tools forged by Ivan's own hands. • Your actions change Ivan's story, his reputation, and the upgrades he can choose. • Experiment in the deep forging system to make weapons like teleporting lightning hammers and hookshot pitchforks. • Explore the combinations of talismans, magic items, blessings, perks, and curses to fundamentally change how Ivan plays. • Multiple endings, multiple ways of solving encounters, procedural map, lots of characters to encounter, and hidden secrets mean Yaga is meant to be played over and over again. • Ivan's grandma just wants him to find a wife. Don't disappoint her! ## Key features - Battle Slavic mythological legends - Procedurally generated world - Deep weapon forging system - Reputation and story choices - Unique character builds - Multiple endings ## Recent user reviews (10 of 52) All indexed reviews: https://appshunter.io/ios/app/yaga-the-roleplaying-folktale/id1455514508/reviews.md ### 4/5 — Great, unique game, some improvement needed *2023-10-08* This game is a lot of fun and very original. The soundtrack is great and the storyline is a lot of fun. I enjoy the quests and gameplay, but one big downside is that you cannot save progress in the middle of a quest. It would be nice if at least at an oven, you could save your progress and return to that spot later. instead if you need to stop playing the game for a bit, you lose all your progress for the quest. It could also use better tutorials or help page to explain what everything means and how to use items. As mentioned by others, the load time is very slow. Overall, I’m really enjoying the game and look forward to more updates. ### 2/5 — Yaga broken *2023-07-19* Yaga the Roleplaying Game completely broken! The game is completely broken. I was almost at the end, just before the fight against Koschei. After talking to a ghost, a path should be unlocked, but the ghost disappears and the path, closed by ghostly hands, does not open and you can not move forward. It's been like this for months and it's not updated. Now, after the last AppleTV system update, it doesn't even start up. It stays on the title screen. Please fix it. ### 4/5 — iPhone 6s+ *2023-01-27, version 1.1.33* Please I get crashes I’ve had to start all over one time already after getting passed the gilded apple part and it crashes near spoiled sack of grain and the three drunkards in the woods And 60-70% time of climbing the stoves make it crash This is currently my favorite if not 11th out of top 20th of all time Hands down ### 3/5 — Fun game but there is a bug at the end *2022-10-31, version 1.1.33* It’s been a fun challenging game so far. Almost to the end of the game and I am unable to progress any further. When I meet with the ghost the barrier behind her stays instead of disappearing. And I am unable to complete the last level. Very frustrating. I’ve tried repeating the level several times with the same result. ### 5/5 — Incredibly Well Thought Out *2022-10-13, version 1.1.33* I’m so surprised at the low ratings. It almost deterred me from downloading this game, but I read the version history, and most of the bad ratings are from before they did their big update. The other bad reviews seem to be people who are impatient. The game takes a bit of time to load. If it crashes, it’s NOT the game; it’s your device. And I have no idea what the person who “bad translations” is talking about. It’s a rhyming story, and sometimes sacrifices are made for the sake of a rhyme. That’s honestly the only thing I can possibly think of what that person could have been talking about. I think the rhymes work perfectly, though. I absolutely love the rhyming story and the fact the characters are all voiced. The music is surprisingly fun too! I appreciate all of the work that was put into this. I hope more is added in the future :) ### 4/5 — Not enough arms fast enough *2022-10-13, version 1.1.33* After you get the sickle I haven’t found any attachments so can you please make them easier to find ### 3/5 — What happened Devs? *2022-08-11, version 1.1.33* I got this game about 6 months ago. Worked really well on all my devices. Then last month we got an update and now it doesn’t fill my 32:9 aspect display anymore. What I love about Apple Arcade games is that they support 4K and 32:9 aspect ratio. I like to support these games and stream them too, but it looks weird when I stream and I have 2 sets of black bars because it no longer supports 32:9. I really hope this isn’t permanent. ### 2/5 — Every update my progress is deleted!!! *2022-07-29, version 1.1.33* I love playing the game, but everytime there is an update I have to restart my progress from the very beginning. Like literally the tutorial 😭. It’s beyond frustrating because I have already had to start over from the beginning once before. I do not even honestly want to try and replay it to catch back up to where I was. Might just delete the app. ### 4/5 — Crafting weapons exit *2022-07-21, version 1.1.26(6)* If I’m in the weapon crafting screen on current iPhone, I cannot exit the screen without crafting something or force quitting the app. ### 4/5 — Good game but bad translation. *2021-06-28, version 1.1.26(6)* Very impressive!! But the Chinese translation is awful and some translations are really making no sene. Actually, I am glad to help to improve the Chinese translation. ## Frequently asked questions about Yaga The Roleplaying Folktale ### What kind of game is Yaga?
