DaRmaZat Ravenlok: Legendary Edition launched on April 11 across Steam, Xbox, and the Epic Games Store, marking the long-awaited Steam debut of Cococucumber’s whimsical action-adventure title. Developed and published by the studio behind the award-winning Echo Generation, this new version represents the definitive way to experience the grand finale of the studio’s beloved Voxel Trilogy. And yes, Ravenlok still earns that “epic” title—now more than ever.
A modern fairytale where magic leads the way
Let’s cut to the chase: the parallels between Ravenlok and Alice in Wonderland are impossible to miss—and that’s by design. After a few light tasks in and around her new family home, a dark-haired girl stumbles upon a magical mirror that pulls her into the fantastical realm of Dunia. Her real name doesn’t matter anymore—everyone in this strange world knows her simply as Ravenlok. Finn, a charmingly dressed white rabbit who could’ve stepped right out of Lewis Carroll’s pages, explains that she’s the chosen one—destined to fulfill a long-lost legend and free Dunia from the cruel rule of the tyrannical Caterpillar Queen.
Before she can do that, however, she’ll have to learn how to fight. Dunia is teeming with creatures loyal to the queen. Luckily, Ravenlok is armed with a sword, bombs, a magical ability called Bullet Spray (which acts like a cooldown-based fireball), and a shield—which now feels slightly more relevant thanks to tougher enemies and more punishing boss fights introduced in this Legendary Edition. While the dodge roll remains the go-to move for most encounters—still stamina-free, by the way—the reimagined combat system adds a bit more bite to the battles, especially for newcomers.
Thanks to the inclusion of the long-requested 360-degree panoramic camera, control and visibility have seen a huge improvement. No more frustrating blind spots where enemies sneak up off-screen—now the action feels smoother, more intuitive, and, most importantly, fairer.
Combat? Still a piece of cake—for the grown-ups, at least
Every defeated enemy drops coins, just like in the original version, and smashing objects scattered across the environment yields even more currency. These can be spent to upgrade health, stamina, strength, or your magical abilities—or to stock up on potions and bombs. Since enemies tend to respawn when reentering areas, it’s easy to grind and gear up before a boss fight.
Finally, there’s the adjustable difficulty setting, which helps tailor the experience a bit more. Even with the difficulty tweaks, seasoned players might still find Ravenlok a walk in the park. But for younger gamers, this fantasy brawler could still prove to be quite challenging. Each defeated boss rewards a new magical power, which keeps the combat loop refreshing despite some later segments choosing quantity over quality—throwing waves of foes at you that encourage frantic button mashing. It’s chaotic, sure, but rarely overwhelming.
Also, the expanded language support included in this edition—with Azerty keyboard support!— is a fantastic step toward making the game more accessible globally—something that was sorely lacking before. Unfortunately, Dutch is still not included, though it’s a minor issue in the grand scheme of things.
A world worth getting lost in, with a soundtrack to match
Dunia continues to be one of the game’s strongest elements—a surreal fairytale world bursting with charm, strange characters, and mysterious quests. The new Legendary Edition adds four brand-new levels, enhancing the sense of wonder and exploration while fleshing out the story just that little bit more. The art style—voxel-based but richly textured—is still a visual treat. Models have been polished, animations tightened, and the game’s signature style shines even brighter now.
The soundtrack remains absolutely stellar. Whether it’s a haunting piano piece, soaring strings, or retro-inspired synth, the music does more than just set the mood—it elevates it. Combined with the upgraded visuals and expanded environments, it’s hard not to be drawn into Ravenlok’s world for just one more quest.
You’ll get a ton of them, too. Almost every NPC you meet hands out one or more objectives, and while the journal system still keeps things relatively vague, the new areas and quality-of-life fixes (like more mirrors for fast travel) ease the need for constant backtracking. Minor bugs like mismatched dialogue or odd camera angles have been ironed out for the most part, and performance remains rock solid throughout. Load times are quick, framerates stable, and no crashes or serious glitches to report.
Final Thoughts
Ravenlok: Legendary Edition makes Ravenlok leave a stronger and more lasting impression than ever before. Dunia is still a captivating, surreal playground to explore, and now—with smarter enemy design, tighter controls, extra content, and full camera control—it feels more immersive and complete. While Dutch is still missing from the language menu and the challenge may still be too difficult for younger players, these are small nitpicks in a larger storybook adventure that’s bursting with heart, charm, and polish.
Simply put: this Legendary Edition is the version Ravenlok was always meant to be.
