Fallen Legion Revenants: Vanguard Edition

About

Fallen Legion Revenants: Vanguard Edition casts players into a skybound fortress struggling to survive amid a plague-ridden wasteland. You follow Lucien, a scheming politician, and Rowena, a revenant bound to the dead, as they clash with a tyrant ruling from the clouds. Combat blends tactical positioning with character-driven choices, balancing political maneuvering and brutal skirmishes against mutated foes. The story weaves personal stakes with worldbuilding, pairing Lucien’s ambition with Rowena’s desperate quest to reunite with her son. This edition adds a mini art book, digital soundtrack, and exclusive inner-cover art to the base game. Players praise its layered dialogue and strategic battles, though the 2021 release date means it’s been polished by years of community feedback. With ports on PS4 and Switch, it’s a self-contained package for fans of narrative-driven RPGs with a focus on moral ambiguity. The tactical depth and bonus content make it stick out in its genre.

Storyline

In a world covered in miasma, a floating castle is the last refuge for mankind. The earth is scarred with creatures altered by the plague while Welkin Castle is isolated in the sky from the horrors below. Lucien, a charismatic politician protected within the castle’s walls, discovers an ancient book where he learns of the Exemplars, weapons that can turn into sentient soldiers. He joins forces with Rowena, a revenant determined to find a way to come back to life to raise her living son, and the two reluctantly make a pact to overthrow the mad tyrant controlling Welkin.
