Capsule Computers checked out Fallen Legion Revenants together with its predecessor Fallen Legion: Rise to Glory:

Fallen Legion: Rise to Glory / Fallen Legion Revenants Review

Overview
When it comes to developing an interesting combat system, making a side-scrolling active turn-based RPG is something of a unique choice but it is one that YummyYummyTummy chose to take when it came to their trio of Fallen Legion games that were released over the last few years. Eventually these games saw a Western release through the Vita and PlayStation 4 though now NIS America has brought the games together into one simple package in the form of Fallen Legion: Rise to Glory / Fallen Legion Revenants. With the titles arriving bundled together and for the first time ever on an Xbox platform, is it worth checking them out?

Story
Fallen Legion: Rise to Glory / Fallen Legion Revenants is something of a unique bundle as the first game is actually a combination of games on its own. Originally released separately, Fallen Legion: Rise to Glory tells the tale of either Legatus Laendur through Flames of Rebellion or Princess Cecille through Sins of the Empire. As such when players begin the game they will select which storyline they would wish to pursue through a fairly short runtime with Laendur’s storyline following the rebel building up an army to fight against the ruling family and the dark influence that the empire is spreading throughout the land while Cecille’s story follows the struggle of a girl who has just found that her father has passed away and must now try and hold the land together with a freshly inherited nefarious talking grimoire serving as her guide. Regardless of which side players pick, they will be sent down a pathway that will pit these two against one another with players seeing the war from different perspectives all while making various decisions along the way.

Overall
By offering what basically amounts to three titles in one, Fallen Legion: Rise to Glory / Fallen Legion Revenants is a fairly solid offering for NIS America. Rise to Glory stands out as the better of the two games as it offers a more realized game thanks to its dual perspective and enjoyable combat compared to Revenants lack of depth and addition of unnecessary combat features that appear all the more prominent when played alongside its predecessor and odd choices with Lucien. That being said, both titles suffer from not taking as much advantage of their setting as they should, especially in Revenants, holding their storylines back heavily while also having a variety of issues unique to each entry. 

Score: 6/10
