'Revita' Leaving Early Access, Gets Release Date, Also Launches For Nintendo Switch - Trailer

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.

Solo dev BenStar and publisher Dear Villagers revealed that Revita will come out of Steam Early Access and launch on the Switch eShop April 21st.

The Steam Early Access version’s price will increase to $16.99 / €16,99 / £13,49 on March 18th.

This official release includes all of the content added to Steam Early Access over the past year, including new starting guns, NPCs, enemies, relics, hats, and levels. Finally players will be able to reach the conclusion of the nameless child’s ascent through the Clocktower.

Revita has been a passion project of mine for over five years now, as it combines twitchy arcade-inspired combat with roguelike mechanics and risky decision making, as you decide what is and isn’t worth trading your HP for,” said BenStar aka Benjamin Kiefer, developer of Revita. “We’ve received loads of useful feedback from players on Steam Early Access, and we think fans and newcomers alike will be delighted by all the content we’ve crammed into the full game. There will be surprises at every turn!”

"We’re all big fans of roguelites around here and Revita has the polish, inventiveness, and charm to make it stand apart from the rest,” said Guillaume Jamet, Head of Publishing for Dear Villagers. “It’s so fast, tense, addictive, and really nails the chunky arcade feel required to bring a twin-stick shooter to life. That it’s also overflowing with content and customization options keeps it fresh for months on end!”
