Reventure is an action-adventure video game released on June 4, 2019, by Spanish studio Pixelatto. It is an expanded re-imagining of the Ludum Dare game jam submission Lonk's Greedy Adventure, also by Pixelatto. In the game, players are sent on a quest to rescue a princess from the Dark Lord in an open world environment. Depending on the actions taken by the player, any of 100 endings can occur. The game is a humorous parody of role-playing video games, particularly of The Legend of Zelda series. Reventure was released to critical acclaim and was praised for its humor.

Runs well on modern hardware.

Reventure is a comedic, fail-forward, micro-run Metroidvania with 100 endings as you pursue your quest to defeat the Dark Lord (and maybe save the princess?). Part of the fun is that the game will let you do really stupid things. Less than 60 seconds into your first playthrough, you will probably come across a wise old sage who hands over the Legendary Sword. You can promptly murder him and end your quest in disgrace. At times Reventure feels like a puzzle game, which is thanks to the game's unexpected and clever "equip load" system. At the start of the game, you can jump quite high, but every item you pick up weighs you down - you can barely jump at all when you're carrying 5 items, which heavily restricts your ability to get around. This makes you think very carefully about routing - what you need, what you don't, what order to do things in, how you can get X item to Y destination, etc. Easy to understand but adds depth. Overall: charming, often hilarious, smartly designed, and different from the norm. It's pretty crazy that Reventure retails for $1. A lot of folks probably play it for an hour, chuckle, and move on. I recommend getting 10 endings (to familiarize yourself), coming back the next day, getting 10 more, etc. This is a classic "good in small doses" experience. It's a better and more full-fledged game that a decent number of indie titles that retail for $14.99.
Super cool and funny game! First times it was very mysterious and I didn't know what was it about. Suddenly I was able to "rescue" the princess. If you reach there without knowing what is the game about, then soon you will know!
Personally, I like to complete games 100%, and therefore this game with its funny and cursed endings was simply great. You just have to like the art style and for 1€ it is definitely worth it.
