Revenant

Revenant is a video game in the role-playing (rpg) genre developed by Cinematix Studios, Inc. and published by Eidos Interactive Limited originally released in 1999. It is currently playable on Windows.

There was a time when you were happy, with your wife. But she left this mortal plane, and you lost your lust for life. Now, you are something between life and death, and you don't care, slowly reminiscing your memories from time to time . . . . . . whoosh, lightning strikes your chains, and you lift your face. You see a wizard, a wizard who freed you, but strangely, you cannot escape his control. The rule is: whoever summons someone has full control over their consciousness and emotions, and your will is their will.

The story then began. . . A shining light brings you here, to the castle, well guarded, but too weak to send any man to fight. There seems to be a cult of some priests who are quite evil and play deadly. And the fact that the king's daughter has disappeared, rather doesn't seem to interest you. But, you can't control yourself, so the deal is that you will be released once you give an attempt to save this kingdom from the horde of enemies, and rescue the missing daughter.

The game is a lot like Westwood Studio's Nox and Blizzard's Diablo in the way it plays: it's an action game with RPG elements. You can use the mouse to walk around and pick up artifacts, open doors, and so on. but you can also use the keyboard for various actions. During real-time combat, you can perform many different moves, punches and kicks to eliminate your enemies.

Revenant is available at a reduced price on the following websites and is no longer abandonware.
