One of my past Weekly Recaps featured Revelatio, a game that undeniably stands out for its striking visual style. With its dark tones, the game places you in the shoes of evil itself, tasked with corrupting everything around you—including the enemies you face, the bosses, and the NPCs in the game world.
I got the chance to try it about a month ago, and I found it quite enjoyable. Since then, a lot has been added in its early access phase, and in just a few days, Revelatio is set to reveal its 1.0 release on PC. At its core, it’s a roguelite with a tactical combat system. You’ll be able to summon creatures and enemies that you’ve converted to your cause, leveraging their unique abilities on relatively tight maps.
The game features the classic node-based path progression typical of roguelikes, along with meta-progression to unlock new content after each run. A demo is available on Steam, and below, you’ll find an overview, some screenshots, and the latest trailer.
