Reka Reviews
Professional reviews from gaming critics
Reka is a base-building adventure heavily inspired by Slavic folklore and legends. It features a non-linear storyline, unique characters, and a cozy cottage-core style that keeps players looking for a relaxing base-builder and returning for more.
REKA is not a game that is going to shatter the very fabric of gaming as we know it. But you know what? That’s OK, because I still loved what I played and it provided such a unique view into a world of folklore that I was very unfamiliar with. The bittersweet story of Baba Jaga and Reka, coupled with some truly “deeper than it looks” customization to your home, will give a little something for everyone.
This REKA review explores what the game has to offer, its story, settings, gameplay, as well as its graphic and sound design.
Reka is the first foray by indie developer Emberstorm Entertainment and it's full release is an emotional filled ride through Slavic folklore. Read more in our Reka review.
REKA is a bold, gothic, witchy crafting game that knows its audience and faithfully delivers the world that audience wants to play around in. Some aspects of the game are a bit repetitive, and the game is a bit short with not a lot of replay value, but if you are enchanted by the world it has to offer, you won’t really notice. It especially shines through its building mechanics, which feature some incredible quality-of-life choices I wish more base-building games would adopt.
The tale of Baba Jaga has been told many times before, and while certain aspects always remain, Reka handles itself in a fairly unique way by having you work alongside her, as opposed to simply existing away from those stories and believing in those tall tales. With its storybook charm and cozy tone
For those who enjoy a slow-burn, atmospheric experience that offers a cosy yet eerie feel, REKA is a magical escape worth exploring. The game encourages you to immerse yourself in its quiet moments; delivering a distinctive experience in a genre that is so often filled with combat-heavy alternatives.
