    Revenant Dogma feels like a game of missed opportunities. The story is either much too confusing or later all spoonfed to players. Spelling mistakes and subpar visuals make the game feel too rough around the edges. The characters' conversations only tell, never show and the gameplay soon gets repetitive. For genre-deprived fans, it may be enjoyable enough, but for anyone looking for a great Xbox JRPG, Revenant Dogma falls short.

    Besides the flaws and lackluster graphics, Revenant Dogma somehow manages to still capture the genre’s appeal.

    Revenant Dogma isn’t a bad game; it features some entertaining conversations and finding new, rare weapons in Ethereal Est dungeons can be a blast. Everything else, however, including its predictable storyline, dull environments and needlessly simplistic combat, feels average, and there are far better options in the RPG genre – even at this price point.

    Revenant Dogma feels like it was put together with RPG maker software by somebody with a genuine interest in the genre, but has no talent for detail or nuance. I appreciate anyone who has the kind of passion for games that I do, and even greater respect for those that put themselves out there and bringing a product of their passion to the market because they love the medium. Unfortunately passion and talent don’t always line up, and this is one of those cases.

I found the story to be a very interesting tale and each character has been implemented really well giving the story quite a bit of charm. In terms of content the game has a decent length to it and fans of this particular genre will no doubt be satisfied wity what’s available to you here. There are a variety of quests for you to undertake and I was impressed with how unique each quest felt. The crafting system doesn’t have much depth to it I found creating weapons to be enjoyable and it did make the very good combat elements even better. I felt the enemies in the game were a little on the generic side and there isn’t much in terms of variety present here. The boss battles often didn’t do enough to excite me and defeating them didn’t always feel as rewarding as they should have been. Does Revenant Dogma do enough to get a recommendation from me? All in all the JRPG genre has quite a big following and I am without a doubt one of them followers so I was eager to get to grips with Revenant Dogma. Thankfully after playing it for a few hours it was quite clear that this was a very good JRPG and I was undoubtedly hooked. One of the main aspects that hooked me was the game’s story. The story has humour placed into it but it also knows when to be serious as well and each different character gave something different to the story which of course made the story even more interesting. Obviously the story isn’t the main reason why we play these game’s so you’ll be pleased to know then that the RPG elements have been done really well even if they do lack in terms of depth. Thankfully though the lack of depth isn’t a problem in my opinion and in the end you’ll find more than enough enjoyment present in both the crafting and quests. This then means that recommending Revenant Dogma is very easy because it gets the most important aspects spot on and in the end it’s very enjoyable to say the least.… Full Review »

However, I give this a 10 because the sole user review is far superior to any of the actual critic reviews. When you compare Xbox_Alive's review to the critics it's like comparing a child's work to a paid professional. Well done, sir. :D… Full Review »
