"It&s;s an unsatisfying folktale then, the kind where the storyteller insists on coughing and saying &s;erm&s; a lot, when all you want them to do it get on with it and get to the good bit."

"Yaga is an Action- RPG game which in some ways, reminds us of this genre&s;s king, Diablo. Althought the game has problems in gameplay and some mechanics that you can&s;t deny, but its good aspects are definitely more. The mythology …"
