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.

boomboris: Thank you, GOG team, for this game!
Two thins I can tell so far about your version:
1. Bug with hotel area and Elijah speech doesn't appear on D3D version on my machine
(Win10 Home, AMD FX 8500, GTX 760, 8Gb Ram DDR3). I can pass easily through guards and get a discussion with character.
2. When selecting some heavy veapon as greande launcher, rocket launcher and so on, some odd body mesh appears on left and right borders of screen. Seems like biceps.
This is why we advocate playing the 3dfx/nglide version whenever possible. However, if you wish to play the game in Direct3D, you'll need to switch to nglide for the duration of the event with Elijah. After that, you can switch back to Direct3D :)

I'm saying that all event with Elijah Direct3D mode works perfectly. Guard speech, Elijah's speech, opening a door in a floor... While playing in Direct3D mode yesterday, I've reached next Rebel base without any bug occuring, exept strange mesh.

Superb write-up, nipsen.

Old? Yes! Shooter? Yes! Somewhat obscure? Yes!

Thanks GOG. Love you. Instant buy. And to celebrate this release, I bought a handful of other games too. :)

I second all the wishes for heretic 2 & hexen 2.. and any other games (especially 3d shooters) from that era.

$10 seems very fair to me, though I'm not afraid to wait for a sale. (And I have too many games to buy any more now.)

Now Toonstruck I think is overpriced, as well as other $10 single games that just use DOSBox or ScummVM (though I can't really think of anymore cases right now), but of course that falls on the dev or pub, not GOG.

GOG Team, I would like to ask you a question: now, that we have two games form Cyclone Studios, is there any hope, that we will also see more from them? Like the second Uprising (Lead and Destroy)?

And maybe Captain Quazar?

Yes, they will be released here. Uprising 2 should be releasing near the end of this month, while Captain Quazar and Killing Time should be releasing sometime between spring and summer. There are also some plans for BattleTanx, but no approximate release date for it as of yet.

Apart from Captain Quazar, which I guess is coming in the next few months, it's a shame that GOG hasn't released several other games now published by Retroism, in particular from MicroProse. I'd love to purchase F-14 Fleet Defender and 1942: The Pacific Air War here. They are good and old for sure.
