“Revenant for me isn’t a game for new or casual gamers, but is more suitable for those that are quite experienced, or are looking to take the step up to a more complex but ultimately more rewarding gaming experience.”

“Revenant is a lot of fun. It’s another win for a Mindclash team that has made a habit of marrying great game design with stellar production. While I wish Revenant was a bigger challenge, it’s still full of interesting challenges”

“Revenant, to sum it up in but a few words, this is the game that Void Ball should have been. Okay, Voidfall should have been this cuz this one is a really fun game to play. I love its theme. I love its mechanics.”(41:10)

“I think it's a fun game. Main complaint is that it's too long for me but but I'm also part of that problem. I think you could get the play time down a bit. I'm having fun. I think it's a great game.”(15:54)

“If you're a fan of Mine Clash games or heavier games or, you know, crunchy Euro games, then yeah, this is going to be an auto include for you guys. I definitely think this game could scratch that itch for having a big epic, you know, space game that isn't centered around battles.”(8:30)

“It's so hard to describe succinctly because I think it is — true — a brilliant game and like you already touched on, it's very addictive. The system is interesting. You want to kind of give it another go, but at the same time, the overwhelm prevents me from wanting to play it again in a way.”(13:13)

“The relentless attacks on the action spaces creates an interesting semi-cooperative tension, though you can deliberately sabotage others in a frustrating way. And the game gradually eases you into customizing your asymmetry, but the complex icon language can be confusing at first.”(2:41)
