Protect me from this world of sin



<span class="bold">Requiem: Avenging Angel</span>, a fierce FPS of Biblical fun, is now available DRM-free on GOG.com.

We all know that Earth is a mess and in dire need of some order but those Fallen angels just went too far. Now God must send Malachi, one of his less unruly lieutenants, to free humanity from the totalitarian regime established by the overzealous angels.

Apart from his heavy arsenal, Malachi is blessed with angelic powers that can wipe out his opponents in a number of novel, if ultra-violent, ways, like turning them into a pile of salt, frying them with fire or electricity, or convincing their blood to try and escape their body. You can charge some of those up for even more potent results but also try less direct approaches, like possessing enemies or resurrecting them to fight for you. Malachi will also employ a form of bullet-time as he marches through hellish levels, blowing up hundreds of angry minions and abusing his divine powers, so that he can walk up to those smug Fallen angels and ask them if they bleed. Because, by God, they will.



Go through Chaos and rain divine justice upon your fallen brethren as <span class="bold">Requiem: Avenging Angel</span>, DRM-free on GOG.com.

Grargar: What FPS from those released during the same era (late 90s, early 00s) would you mostly compare it to?
Don't recall playing that many, so can't make a proper comparison. The game is linear, it is relatively fast paced, and the normal difficulty (Purgatory) was quite a step up from the easy one (Heaven). An enjoyable romp for sure, but not sure if multiple runs will be worth it.

For those interested, here's a great review of the game:

timppu: Nice! Now I am waiting confirmations from people not facing game-breaking bugs and actually finishing the game, as I've understood there were serious scripting bugs on the retail game already in Windows XP.

JMich: 2 playthroughs, I did encounter the first one (door not opening to visit Elijah) on the first one. Loading a save from before going up to that hotel floor seems to have fixed it, and same should happen if you die (attack the guards) and continue from the checkpoint. I heard that support was looking into fixing that trigger, but not sure if they managed to do so or not. Didn't encounter any problems with the other possible triggers.
Yep, its fixed now, as long as you use Nglide

Hmm, seems they tested it thoroughly and there are no bugs in the NGlide version, but a high probability of the Elijah bug triggering in the Direct 3D version:

Oh dear, I always felt this fell into the 'so bad it's good' category.
I'll still wait for a sale, but I'm definitely getting it some day.

Thank you for the verification :)

Are there any meaningful graphical differences between the D3D and NGlide versions?

JudasIscariot: Don't play the game in Direct3D mode, play it in Nglide and you should be able to avoid the game-breaking bugs :)
Thanks, that's good enough for me. I usually prefer playing the Glide versions of games from that era anyway, higher chance of not facing some graphical anomalies either due to differences in Direct3D versions...

Nice! Stylistically it reminds me of Blood 2, which contrary to many I actually liked quite a lot. This looks like a good FPS to launch when one needs a quick and fun bit of gaming.

Holly Hellish Awesome! Never thought I'd see this one here, or anywhere at all.

I remember seeing a lot of ads for it back when it was released, but never actually played it.

I'll certainly get it sometime in the future. :) Thanks gog!

LOL at the 3DO logo in the trailer, it's been a very long time since I saw it ^o^

I hope Retroism and GOG will go forward with those kind of "underdogs" releases ;)
