The story has been described as generic and unremarkable, with many reviewers noting its lack of depth and originality, often comparing it to a basic JRPG template. While some moments are interesting and the main quest is relatively short, the overall narrative is hindered by clunky presentation and simplistic themes, making it difficult for players to fully engage. Despite colorful graphics and entertaining combat, the story fails to leave a lasting impression.
“The storyline also has a couple of interesting moments.”
“[combat is entertaining and innovative, the cast of main characters create a tense and enjoyable story…]”
“[fast and fluid experience with little load time, interesting plot, main quest can be completed in less than 15 hours]”
“It's kind of hard to get into the story when the text just flies across my screen, so I can barely read it.”
“The story is like a step-by-step guide on how to make a JRPG... absolutely nothing outstanding.”
“An unremarkable story, uneven presentation, and interface issues hold this already unambitious effort back, and while it brings some excellent ideas to the table — like battle transformations and single-handed control — they’re not enough to recommend the experience.”
Fun, yet flawed, fantasy – Revenant Saga review
Revenant Saga is a by-the-numbers JRPG that will scratch your itch for a portable 90s-esque game with its charming characters and entertaining turn-based combat. However, those that want a meatier role-playing experience should look elsewhere for their fix.

Overall, Revenant Saga is decent for what it is: a low budget RPG to help pass the time. It's not wholly unremarkable, thanks to its charming cast and solid battle system. The storyline also has a couple of interesting moments. Is that worth the ten or so hours it takes to see the main quest to its conclusion? That depends on if the player has the patience for dealing with stress free and mundane trips through towns and dungeons. All in all, this game is inoffensive, but not terribly compelling.
50%Revenant Saga Review
Revenant Saga sets out to offer a simple, throwback JRPG on Switch, and while it certainly ticks those boxes it doesn’t actually end up being very fun to play. An unremarkable story, uneven presentation and interface issues hold this already unambitious effort back, and while it brings some excellent ideas to the table — like battle Transformations and single-handed control — they’re not enough to recommend the experience. If you’re starved for an old-school RPG on the Switch, I Am Setsuna is still your best bet at the moment — otherwise, the 3DS’ treasure trove of turn-based adventures awaits.
