Evaluation

Yaga launched on Steam on January 12, 2021. Following launch, the developer shipped a feature patch on February 24, 2021 (the "Which Hand Is It?" update) and a bug fix hotfix on January 19, 2021. The only paid DLC released was "Roots of Evil," which launched on October 28, 2021, adding a new chapter, new enemies, new quests, and new characters. The soundtrack DLC was released alongside the base game at launch. Both DLC items are now released, and no unreleased DLC exists in the store listing. The developer has not announced any further content for Yaga. Subsequent news posts from Versus Evil (the publisher) in 2023 treat Yaga as a back-catalog title rather than an actively supported game — the December 2021 retrospective post lists Yaga among "early titles" they look back on, alongside other completed games. There have been no feature patches, content announcements, or developer communications about Yaga since October 2021. With both DLC shipped, no announced future content, and the publisher explicitly categorizing Yaga as a past title in their portfolio, the game appears to have concluded its post-launch content support with the Roots of Evil DLC in October 2021.

About this game



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!
