Revita is a charming twin stick roguelite which sets up agile, air-dashing firefights throughout the floors of a mysterious clocktower.

In this fast paced twin-stick roguelite platformer, you play as an unnamed child ascending an ominous clocktower in pursuit of their lost memories. Harvest and sacrifice souls to grow your power in order to challenge procedural encounter rooms and intimidating bosses!

In Revita, players must climb an ominous clock tower through a series of procedural encounter rooms and clear challenging boss fights on their way to reclaiming their lost memory. Along the way players will be able to trade health for randomized upgrades as the game dares them to live on a knife-edge.

Find the right balance of attack and defense as you try, die, repeat and progress up the tower. Battle through an almost infinite variety of combat encounters in procedurally generated rooms. Twin stick shooting, dashing and wall sliding are just the beginning - find power-ups and items on each run and upgrade your arsenal.

An extensive set of options lets you tweak Revita to your playstyle - slow down time, set an outline colour for enemies to make them easier to track or choose the level of aim assist that feels right for you.

Explore an underground subway line infested with monsters and filled with colourful characters who will help you on your journey. Travelling from station to station where elevators take you towards the heights of an ever changing clocktower.

Developer BenStar and publisher Dear Villagers have announced that Revita is now available on Steam Early Access for $14.99 with a 10% discount at launch and until March 9.

The initial Early Access version of Revita will offer three different biomes full of secrets to explore and conquer, more than 150+ relics for players to create their own ultimate combos, a customizable station hub to rest their weary bones, strange yet endearing residents to meet and over 30 vanity hats. During the Early Access period, the game will be expanded regularly with further content updates. 

“After working on the game for four years and a few alpha tests with fans I’m super excited to unleash this love letter for roguelite fans into Steam Early Access”, says BenStar aka Benjamin Kiefer, developer of Revita. “In the game I wanted to combine the best bits of games from my favorite genre, give it a personal touch with a lot of attention to detail and add a gameplay twist that makes the game familiar and fresh at the same time. I hope people will enjoy the gameplay structure that lets you trade health points for extra items and encourage them to constantly weigh up the risks and push their limits.”

"We've been secretly supporting BenStar for the last two years and what he’s achieved with Revita is already beyond our expectations,” says Guillaume Jamet, Head of Publishing for Dear Villagers. "After the great ScourgeBringer from Flying Oak Games, Revita is our new "Pixel Art Action Platformer", one of the key branches of our editorial line. It combines the best parts of the roguelike genre and oozes with charm and character. The fact that Revita is made by a passionate solo developer really shines through and makes for a unique melancholic gaming experience.”
