The Story

Revenant's story centers around Locke D' Averam, an ancient warrior resurrected from hell after thousands of years. His mission is to rescue the kidnapped daughter of a warlord, who suspects his rivals were the ones behind the abduction. As Locke progresses, he learns more about his past life; it turns out that he wasn't just chosen randomly for this task, and that this warlord's daughter is no ordinary woman either. As you move through the game, you'll interact with around 50 non player characters who will speak to you: over an hour's worth of professional voice dialog is included in Revenant! The NPCs are a diverse group ranging from prostitutes to torturers to ghosts, to monsters.
