Well that Yaga is finally available on Xbox One. I thought it would be interesting to tell a little bit about our main character and the inspiration for the world of our game.
Yaga is an action RPG where you play with one hand
Blacksmith named Ivan, cursed with bad luck. The protagonist is
gently being shunned by the tsar of the kingdom trying to send him to you
Fooling care. This is the beginning of Ivan’s greatest adventure. You
At the same time, I will help Ivan through a series of adventures
Meet famous Slavic villains and characters and many people in
need your helping hand.
This is a key element to give you the opportunity to roleplay
your characters. As Ivan’s voice, you will be able to make decisions that will lead him
to one of four different personalities: selfish, fair, aggressive or
stupid. The narrative and the gameplay are brought together, if you have the choice
In the end, change how you experience the game and define what kind of
You will receive upgrades and the result you can expect at the end of the game.
Right at the beginning of the game, you learn that life was like this
not very nice to Ivan before your adventures. The villagers brand him as
the most unlucky person they have known since losing one of his arms in a fight
with a bad creature. That’s a tragedy, considering the fact
that he is a blacksmith.
Ivan and his villagers are inspired by the ancient Slavs
Folk tales and popular beliefs. Our main goal was to enable you to discover this
mythical world that enriched peasant life and its bizarre beliefs from the 14th onwards
Century Slavic countries. We also tried to include the more humorous sides of
this culture as best we could. This resulted from our conviction that there is a rich one
and an untapped lot of great Slavic stories that tell people in the West and in other countries
Parts of the world are rarely exposed. This is a sad fact for us and us
were lucky enough to be able to change that.
We wanted to bring you a piece of the worlds into which we were privy
to grow up in a country with Slavic influences. I can still remember that
Voices on the notes my mother made when I was a couple of years old
were filled with stories about Baba Yaga and the beasts that roam the kingdoms of
the Red and the Green Emperors. There is one aspect of these stories that we rarely have
to see these days. There is a certain amount in the more familiar Grimm fairy tales
Lot of positivity and goodness that you do not see so often in Slavic
Stories.
What we love about the former is that they are filled with black humor and cynicism about life itself. The Slavic people are known to use humor and self-contempt as a form of escape, and this is reflected in the stories they share. Yaga So we hope to give the players an insight into this world.
