The kidnappers, Children Of The Cult, are a cult of warrior priests powerful in combat and black magic. Your character, Locke, has forgotten most of his past, having spent many centuries crucified in purgatory - although amazingly, our hero's social and language skills remain intact. To progress in the game, Locke has to rediscover his martial arts and magic skills. To recapture his magic, Locke must combine 12 artifacts, which will give him access to various spells, from the puny fire and poison, to powerful spells like immortal might and maelstorm. Locke has to progress beyond certain skill levels before he can cast higher-level spells.
Casting spells uses up manna, which needs to be replenished by drinking special potions.
But it is possible to complete most of the game with pure fighting, without using too many magic spells. The biggest problem with Revenant is its poor display resolution. Because it is designed to be played on both video consoles and PCs, the game is tuned for low resolution. The characters are rendered in real-time in 3D on beautiful 2D landscapes. Ambient lighting varies according to the time of day, but Locke does not seem to need any sleep anyway.
