Revenant Saga

Reventant Saga is a title belonging to the jRPG genre, developed by Exe-Create and referring to such classics as Chrono Trigger, Xenogears or the Final Fantasy series. The game is set in a fantasy world, characterized by a gloomy atmosphere, and the story presented in it touches on serious topics, such as revenge or the pain of loss.

Story

The player takes on the role of Albert, a young man who, in order to save his loved ones, decides to take part in a dangerous experiment attempted by Dr. Moreau. As a result, he is transformed into an immortal creature - the eponymous Revenant - and learns that he has a deadly demon inside him. He decides to embark on a journey to find Dr. Moreau and take revenge for his fate.

Mechanics

Revenant Saga is based on two basic elements. The first is the exploration of the two-dimensional world - including talking to NPCs, performing smaller and larger side tasks, and discovering the main plot related to Albert's story.

The second element is the combat, implemented in full 3D and a turn-based system, during which we control the whole team. As befits a game modeled on old jRPG titles, characters are unable to move around during clashes and stand in front of enemies - we can only choose the type of attack and its target. A mechanic characteristic of Revenant Saga is the ability of our heroes to take special forms that change their appearance and statistics and give them access to different skills.

Victories are awarded by experience points, which increase the level of our characters. During the adventure we also gain equipment, including weapons - the latter can be upgraded and adjusted to your own style of play.

Technical aspects

In exploration mode, Revenant Saga's two-dimensional graphics evoke associations with old 16-bit jRPG titles - the world is very colorful and the character designs have a distinctly manga-like character. While fighting, we move to a fully three-dimensional environment, but usually simple and devoid of details.
