TL;DR: INFINITE REVOLUTION is awesome. INFINITE REVOLVER is a game about people dressed in godlike exosuits as they scream through space to tear the all-consuming void a new one.  It's also game about being so different from everyone around you but still remaining frighteningly human. You are Revolver, all cylinders firing and no bullets left behind.

Incredible writing. Instantly, Infinite Revolution sucks you in with its vibrant layout, premise and worldbuilding. There is a strong and consistent theme about awakening to yourself, turning differences into empowerment and the value of self-belief. Your character's heart is quite literally kept burning by their hopes, dreams and fears.

Since it's built on the LUMEN system, the game seems well-structured and fairly easy to pick up. You have your standard list of playbooks (all of which are based on zodiacs!), core rules, 'pick approach and roll attribute' system for actions, variable successes/fail-forward hits and modifiers. Creating a session made easier with about three to four pages dedicated to play structure and downtime actions.

Combat is where Infinite Revolution REALLY shines. Since you are quite literally fighting for the fate of humanity at the speed of light, a majority of outcomes in your fights hinge on how much speed you can build up. Aside from your weapons, special powers, passives and BURN SCARS (think of them as a combination of finisher moves, self-sacrificial story beats, character-specific influences on the reality around you and permanent consequences acquired over time) having small influences on your decisions, your speed is always top priority. If you zero out, the fight will end without you in the fraction of a fraction of a second.

There are so many other cool things I could touch on in this game. Like how your weapons have different firing patterns, focuses which completely change their effects and come with an entire list of weapon tags to open completely new options for you. Or how one of the Cores (playbooks) in this game slowly melts your character into pure light to be one with the universe the longer you play. Or how each playbook somehow managed to fit in at least two good paragraphs of narrative text to perfectly capture the vibe and emotions they best encapsulate.

Thank you so much for the in-depth review! I'm delighted you liked the game so much, and really appreciate you taking the time to lay out why.

Thank you for making the game! I tested it solo just last night and read it with some friends. We all got hooked by how well-made it is and plan to play a full game soon.
