Fallen Legion: Revenants

Fallen Legion Revenants is full of fun, engaging combat, an interesting premise, and entertaining dialogue. However, the poor pacing between combat and narrative creates a disconnect that makes the experience monotonous at several points. This is by no means an irredeemable title. However, it is definitely preferable for players who do not seek to experience a continually engaging narrative and just desire enjoyable strategic combat. When it comes down to it, Fallen Legion Revenants does nothing especially egregious. It just fails to live up to the potential its opening preambles and premise set.

A bit messy and not deep enough, Revenants feels like a missed chance for Fallen Legion, but the plot and its characters are intriguing.

Fallen Legion Revenants isn’t without its issues, namely in how chaotic combat can be at times due to players having to keep track of multiple characters in real-time. Additionally, countering can be tricky because the game doesn’t really telegraph when enemies are about to strike. Still, the branching plot is fairly compelling to those interested in a dark fantasy with a touch of emotional pathos, making Fallen Legion Revenants worth a look for fans of old-school JRPGs.

A third chapter that sticks to its predecessor in every possible way. While Revenants does not lack interesting aspects, it also painfully shows its low budget nature. In particular, confusing combat and poorly delivered story are its most significant flaws.

I find it odd when a sequel in a series does little to set itself apart from its predecessors and Fallen Legion Revenants especially perplexes me with its monotonous combat and minimal gameplay elements. Great artwork, though, even if Rowena looks like Soma Cruz.

An adventure with a particular narrative mode and with different game mechanics from the crowd.

Ultimately, Fallen Legion Revenants is one of the worst games I’ve played in some time.
