The Verdict
based on 15 reviews
Next up is Revenant, the second game set in Mindclash's Voidfall universe and winner of our prestigious Definitely Not Sh!t Award at 2025's UK Games Expo.
“Revenant is a masterful addition to the Mindclash Games portfolio, offering a rich blend of strategy, theme, and innovation. Its dynamic worker placement mechanics and shifting alliances create a constantly evolving challenge, while the Hidden Influence system keeps players guessing until the final moments.”
The panel showcases an engaging playthrough of The Revenant Society, highlighting its creative Powered by the Apocalypse mechanics, collaborative storytelling, and tense undead time loop atmosphere.
“I wanted to review it because I do think this is a very, very, very good game and a lot of people are really going to like it, but you've got to really be prepared for a pretty extensive focused learn on this.”(19:29)
“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.”
The reviewers played through Revenant during the live stream, showcasing its worker placement mechanics and tactical fleet defense, and reacted with strong enthusiasm for its engaging sci-fi gameplay.
“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)
“It's a really well-designed and well-developed game that has a solo mode that will appeal to most people out there.”(41:33)
“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)
“So, yeah, that's that's it. We're We're done. This game is staying in the collection. I enjoy it. I will play it again.”(11:10)
“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)
“Revenant overall for me is a game that is incredibly satisfying at the things that does well while also falling a little short in terms of what I personally want to experience.”(20:13)
“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)
