Revita Gets New Area, Weapons, Options in Old Friends Update

Dear Villagers have announced the Old Friends update for their Early-Access roguelike twin-stick shooter, Revita. 

Made by one-man developer BenStar; players are tasked with climbing an ominous clock tower in a series of procedural encounter rooms and boss fights, all to reclaim their memories. They will also be able to trade health for random upgrades, pushing players to the edge. The game also offers a bevvy of accessibility options; including gamespeed, enemy outlines, and aim-assist to tailor your experience.


As stated in the press release (via email); the update will add add new levels of the clock tower, along with new foes and environmental hazards (such as flash floods). There will also be a new room at the base of the tower, to choose from five different starting guns. Health balancing has also been overhauled, so first time players will have an easier introduction.

Fitting the name, the Old Friends update also promises that players can “dive ever deeper into the enigmatic world of Revita, with an expanded cast and some jammin’ additions to the soundtrack.”
