Reporting from 1 sources: Game Spark.
A play report from BitSummit PUNCH covers Project Revenant, a 2D side-scrolling action game where precise mouse aiming is critical. Weak enemy attacks can kill in one hit on Normal difficulty. A stylish execution system and skill actions like flashbangs add depth. The demo shows strong potential for fans of tough action games.
Project Revenant, a 2D side-scrolling action game exhibited at the KOCCA booth during BitSummit PUNCH, demands precise mouse aiming. Attacks only land when the cursor is perfectly aligned with weak points, and even basic enemy hits can knock the player down in one shot on Normal difficulty. The demo includes a flashbang skill with a short cooldown and no usage limit, used to stun enemies for easier targeting. Defeating foes by hitting weak points can trigger an execution move, which kills instantly regardless of distance and temporarily strengthens skills. The execution uses a dedicated animation described as stylish and reminiscent of Mortal Kombat. A boss battle ends each stage. The reporter restarted over ten times before reaching the boss, but noted the exhilaration of clearing encounters and using the execution system. The demo version already shows sufficient potential, and the official release is anticipated.
