“Revita was heavily inspired by 16-bit platformers, back when all video games were physical cartridges, so having Revita available as a limited edition physical release feels like the way it was always meant to be”, said Benjamin Kiefer aka BenStar, developer of Revita.

“Reception for Revita has been overwhelmingly positive, so I’m thrilled that people are excited to proudly display Revita on their shelf!”

In Revita, climb through an ominous clocktower and battle through a series of procedurally generated encounters with foes and challenges in order to uncover lost memories and discover the mysteries of the melancholic world. Play as a nameless child with no sense of who or where they are and exchange health for upgrades as the game dares the player to play on a razor’s edge!

Revita is available digitally on PC, Switch, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X and S, and Xbox One, and is playable in English, French, German, Spanish, Latin American Spanish, and Simplified Chinese.

Exchange health for power in fast-paced glass cannon gameplay

Unique runs

Endless character builds
Twin stick shooting, dashing and wall sliding are just the beginning – find power-ups and items on each run

Tweak your game
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

Arm yourself with multiple weapons
