** Chapter 1- [[spoiler:Poison the food stores.]]
** Chapter 2- [[spoiler:Stop replacement food.]]
** Chapter 3- [[spoiler:Crash the castle.]]
** Chapter 4- [[spoiler:Take down the emergency shields by killing the loved half of the twin Goddesses.]]
** Chapter 5- [[spoiler:Stage Lucien defeating a giant horde of monsters.]]

* Stripperiffic: Surprisingly averted in a T rated JRPG. There's no sexy monster girls and the female characters all wear period attire, except for Kali's hunting rags and Valeria's Steampunk cosplay outfit, which are still very sensible.

* LoadsAndLoadsOfCharacters: Two Protagonists, ''16'' possible Exemplars, and about a dozen Welkin [=NPCs=], plus a bunch of survivors on the surface. [[spoiler:In the Lucien Epilogue, Syrene, the girl who disappears in Chapter 1, complains how barely anyone knew she existed. You'll even lose a dialogue tree if you return to Chapter 1 and forget to introduce yourself to her.]]

* StandardStatusEffects: Burn acts like JRPG poison. There's also Chill and Shock which act like slow for different gauges. Seal (mute), Cripple (don't move), Sap (don't act), and Petrify from one endgame enemy. Other statuses lower attack and defense. Blight prevents the unit from healing. Everything except Seal and Cripple works on boss enemies; but players cannot inflict Petrify, nor can they cause Sap without Burgundy's Random debuff mastery.

Fallen Legion Revenants is an Action JRPG Indie developed by YummyYummyTummy and published by NIS America. Taking place in a fictional world, InspiredBy the events of the 1918 Pandemic, released in Feb 2021 for very ironic timing. The world is being devastated by a disease known as the Miasma, which starts as a slowly lethal respiratory disease but progresses into a mutating [[ZombieApocalypse Zombie]] [[MysticalPlague Plague]]. A colony of healthy survivors have taken shelter in the floating [[OminousFloatingCastle Welkin Castle]], which was a former prison ruled by its Warden the Sorcerer Ivor.

The game features a battle system that borrows the 1 button per party member combat from VideoGame/ValkyrieProfile, timed blocks from VideoGame/SuperMarioRPG, the level design of {{EndlessRunningGame}}, and a light grid system in real time fights like VideoGame/MegaManBattleNetwork. The art taking cues from 1920s fashion, VideoGame/OdinSphere, and ''Franchise/{{Castlevania}}''. It also has a series of choices Lucien must navigate similar to a visual novel like Creator/TelltaleGames.

* ActionGirl: The protagonist - Rowena, while only being able to attack through the Exemplars or some spells, does the majority of the game's combat. The Female Exemplars themselves (Burgundy, Jacquine, Kali, Valeria, Evania, Dardenelle) were heroes from the past. [[spoiler: Evie (reanimated), Rayne, and the Goddesses prove to be formidable combatants too.]]
* AnyoneCanDie: Rowena starts the game dead, but she's trying to get better. [[spoiler: All but 5 of the NPCs can be permenantly killed by your choices, and it's impossible to save 1 of the 4 councilmembers from creating a vacancy for Lucien to fill. Lucien himself is supposed to die to take Rowena's place fighting for the Epilogue]]

* BittersweetEnding: [[spoiler:There's two ways to finish Chapter 6. The standard way has Lucien trapped in the Dying Ivor's mind, so he dies and becomes a Revenant but is able to teach Rowena how to ressurrect herself. With special key items, you can choose to save Lucien from Ivor, but doing so causes the Oracle/Human Save Point to complain that the story can't proceed like this since no one can command the Exemplars while alive. To keep you from messing the narrative further, the Oracle joins as a playable character. The Epilogues themselves have mixed outcomes. Of the 6 endings on Rowena's path, only one is truly happy, with a cure for the Miasma being found. On Lucien's path it's even worse, with the "happy" endings all involving his love marrying another man with a sordid past and him stuck indefinitely as a ghost.]]
* BreatherBoss: the Tormented Duke only attacks with Revenant casts, meaning you never need to block anything except his getup attack from staggers.

* ForcedLevelGrinding: Averted; there's no traditional levels. However each Exemplar has 4 Mastery's that work like achievement quests (Block 30 times, Push 100 times, etc.) Having more mastery's completed allows you to wear more accessories, but you can only actively wield one mastery and the passive 5th mastery from completing the other 4 at best.

* GameplayAndStorySegregation: for the sake of playability.

* LoadsAndLoadsOfCharacters: Two Protagonists ''16'' possible Exemplars and about a dozen Welkin [=NPCs=], plus a bunch of survivors on the surface. [[spoiler:In the Lucien Epilogue, Syrene the girl who disappears in Chapter 1 complains how barely anyone knew she existed. You'll even lose a dialogue tree if you return to Chapter 1 and forget to introduce yourself to her.]]
* MentalWorld: [[spoiler: Ivor takes all of Welkin into a world of linked consciousness]]
* NiceJobBreakingItHero: Most of the plot, to provoke the populace into overthrowing Ivor.[[spoiler:Both Rayne and Ivor call you out on various crimes. ]]
** Chapter 1- [[spoiler:Poison the food stores ]]
** Chapter 2- [[spoiler:Stop replacement food ]]
** Chapter 3- [[spoiler:Crash the castle ]]
** Chapter 4- [[spoiler:Take down the emergency shields by killing the loved half of the twin Goddesses. ]]

* RedemptionEqualsDeath: Inverted. Dying turns [[spoiler: Syrene, Larkin, Rayne, and Evie]] into vengeful murderers, anyone else who dies optionally was either innocent or unrepentant at the moment of death. After Chapter 3, you can Save [[spoiler:Opal or Nigel]] at the cost of the other- this second chance turns their life around. [[spoiler:Saving Opal has her quit drinking and become actively involved in the council. Saving Nigel makes him realize he should stop assuming Ivor will take of everything.]]

** Barmaid Weer's fantasy book series, Lord of the Rhombuses, is part Lord of the Rings, part Game of Thrones, and even has a Moby Dick reference baked in their somewhere.
** a Hidden Exemplar [[spoiler:Legate, wields the Exemplars from the first Fallen Legion.]]
** Drakina's mythology includes a biblical flood.

* Stripperiffic: Surprisingly averted in a T rated JRPG. There's no sexy monster girls and the female characters all wear period attire, except for Kali's hunting rags and Valeria's Steampunk cosplay outfit, that are still very sensible.

* VictoryPose: End of each level. Some remarkable ones include Evania gaining Red eyes; Burgundy removing her mask but facing away from the camera, and Grimwald dropping his hammers to let birds perch on him.

* WhatHappenedtotheMouse: Myra disappears from the plot regardless of whether you intercept her warning regarding the castle sinking. [[spoiler:She's gone from the castle too in Chapter 4, only if you complete Edwin's quest in the Epilogue do you learn Ivor killed her for experiments.]]

The game features [[Deuteragonist/VideoGames Dual Protagonists]]. Rowena is the eponymous Revenant, having been Ivor's right hand before being wrongly executed for treason. With her young son imprisoned and starved for her perceived crime, she can't move on, but initially cannot do anything either. A young member of Welkin's ruling council, Lucien, has found a way to contact her spirit and arm her with Legendary Living weapon spirits called Exemplars. Together they plan her revenge and the liberation of Welkin castle from Ivor's tyrannical and capricious rule. She and her party being spirits can travel the blighted country without fear of disease, while Lucien feeds her information and uses materials she sends back to him to gain favor with Welkin's populace to start a revolution.

* WhatTheHellHero: Lucien's plans have little regard for the means to their ends. Rowena can earn control of the Epilogue by calling out or rejecting his ideas.
* WakeUpCallBoss: Archeocetes, the Flying Whale, has 3 lifebars instead of 1. It also becomes impossible to stagger in the final phase without reflecting it's 1 shot kill attack.

* NiceJobBreakingItHero: Most of the plot, to provoke the populace into overthrowing Ivor.[[spoiler: Both Rayne and Ivor call you out on various crimes.
** Chapter 1- Poison the food stores
** Chapter 2- Stop replacement food
** Chapter 3- Crash the castle
** Chapter 4- Take down the emergency shields by killing the loved half of the twin Goddesses.
** Chapter 5- Stage Lucien defeating a giant horde of monsters.]]

* Tennis Boss: Drakina's final fight.

* ArtShift: The Sprites look like Vanillaware Characters. The face portraits closer to Castlevania, and the CGs for special scenes in a style not quite the same as either.

* {{Golem}}: Golems of the 3 elements are encountered in Chapter 6 and the Epilogues. Each can counter either your attacks or blocking, something no other creature can do. [[spoiler:An Epilogue Sidequest for Gideon has you battle the ultimate Golem created by Ivor with the ability to counter multiple things.]]
