This poor attempt at a game never hesitates to discard any progress you might have made and to send you back by several levels, in order to go through the same few rooms again and again and again... avoid unless you fancy this sort of punishment.
Ah, Revenant! I have fond memories of playing this when it was fairly new. Good graphics, great sound & music, very atmospheric. And interesting controls! – I enjoyed the various attacks and defences, combos and dodges, all controlled off the keypad – it had a sort of RPG-meets-beat’em up thing going on. And I have vague recollections of enjoying the magic system as well. There seemed to be some flaws of implementation. Some things that looked like they were intended for something but did not work. But I looked past that and just enjoyed the atmosphere, and the tactical challenge. BUT! I also remember never finishing it. Ultimately, it is too long and linear. After the first half of the map where you explore and build up your strength, you enter the caves under the mountain. These were just an endless succession of twisty caverns with samey gameplay. I persevered and got out of the other side, only to find another dungeon which looked like it might similarly be an endless succession of twisty passages, and at that point I gave up. I would rather have a shorter game that ends when it looks like it will end, that have a whole load more of the same tacked on at the end as a twist – same reason I never finished Summoner. In conclusion: pick Revenant up when GOG puts it on sale, and give it a go, and see how far you get before you are fed up!
