Play as Ivan, a one-handed blacksmith cursed with incredible bad luck.

Ivan is caught between a Tzar giving him impossible tasks, a mysterious witch who wants to manipulate him, and his grandma who wants him to find a wife.

Start your journey in an action RPG where the story and characters react to the way you roleplay your character.

  • Building a reputation through roleplaying results in different interactions with villagers and NPCs, unlocking secrets, trading options, or bestowing game-changing curses or blessings upon the player character.
  • Pagan beliefs and superstitions are key to unlocking hidden secrets, getting house spirits on your side, or avoiding the powerful curses of unclean creatures.
  • Fateful Crossroads between levels allow the player to influence the difficulty, challenge and level generation of the game
  • Discover and combine lots of talismans and artifacts that change the player's abilities and the gameplay
  • Craft and upgrade an arsenal of weapons and tools to aid you in your journeys.
  • Unique Soundtrack featuring underground folklore band Subcarpați.

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.

Features:

+ 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 mission outcomes, random maps, random encounters, 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!

Good news Orcs must die 3 is only a timed exclusive https://www.reddit.com/r/OrcsMustDie/comments/cslke7/clarification_from_robot_entertainment_on_orcs/

Clarification from Robot Entertainment on Orcs Must Die! 3 Stadia exclusivity self.OrcsMustDie

eingereicht vor 18 Stunden von phudrick - announcement

Hi all, I’m Patrick Hudson, the CEO of Robot. OMD3 is a timed exclusive on Stadia. The background on that decision:

After shutting down OMDU, Robot had to downsize our studio. We had re-sized and focused on making smaller games than an OMD game. We didn’t know when or if we would get back to the OMD franchise.

We met with Google to learn more about Stadia for our other projects. We discovered that the people at Google are big fans of OMD. That led to an exploration of what might be possible with an OMD game on Stadia. We both got excited about our ideas and decided to go after it.

OMD3 would not be possible today without Google’s support. They are behind the game in a big way. We’ve hired more developers to bring it to life. It’s the OMD game that fans of the first two games have been wanting, and we’re thrilled that we have the opportunity to make it.

When OMD3 releases in spring 2020, it will be a timed exclusive on Stadia. We’ll say more about other platforms in the future.

We’re having a lot of fun playing OMD3 inside the studio, and we hope you love it as much as we do.

Though that means Google currently has 2 real exclusive titles to offer for their system.

How do you pirate a Stadia game without some Mission Impossible style server farm raid?

Death Stranding looks like a shitshow of a game.
17 hours of cutscenes and walking simulator gameplay. Dudes backpacks are also gravity defying. Looked like he carried three times his weight.

Yakuza 3 western release features all of the cut content :salute:
Yeah, but what about the PC versions? Sega has started bringing the series so it would've made sense to release the 3-4-5 remasters on PS4 and PC simultaneously, instead it appears to be only for PlayStation for now.

Pretty sure they're strategically staggering the PC releases a bit, which makes sense. We've gotten 3 Yakuza titles on PC in the course of a year, with apparently less people playing each subsequent release (judging from steam reviews, global top seller placing, etc.). I think even the most diehard Yakuza fans are feeling a bit of series fatigue, and I'm fairly certain Sega has taken note of this. I expect the Remaster Collection to release on PC within the next few months, with an announcement about a month or two prior, if past experience indicates anything.

PC versions are staggered so that impatient fans buy an inferior console version first and a superior PC version a few months later.

Well, that too. Clearly the issue is there is money to be made, rather than they are unable to release them simultaneously.
