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.
Fucking ridiculous, there's already reviews up for the game even though GOG released it 2 hours ago.
Can you really finish this game in less than two hours ? Have people no sense of shame.

How about people who played the game on its original release? The game is from the year 1999.
Nice blast from the past. Definitely unexpected release, thanks!

Review. Singular. And to be fair, for a "nostalgia review," it's remarkably even-handed and non-rose-tinted. But I'm sure future nostalgia reviewers will more than make up for that with positivity that few people likely had back when the game was still recent. : )
Great release. I'm a little disappointed we didn't get more games from 2K or another big pub (Disney, WB, etc.), but hopefully more stuff from them will come.

Don't read the reviews, watch YouTube footage of the game.

Yes. He did skip the Lillith fight, and it may be slightly longer than 2 hours, but it is possible to do so.
Then there are those of us who played the game a few months ago, thus can actually do a review on release day.

Out of curiosity, why no Windows XP?
Nice! Instabuy.
Wishlisted. I never spit on a FPS from the 90's.
Always heard of it, never played it.
Looks like Sin meets Blood : )

We tested the game on a fully updated Windows XP install, it did not work and, thus, we cannot comfortably support it here.

So it's all about mixing something ultra amazing with something out of this world ;D
But, imho, Requiem is a little step behind these 2 examples you've pointed out. Nonetheless, GREAT fps.

That's weird. Thank you for your reply.
YES YES YESSSSSSSSSSSS


Thank you gog.

I really wanted to play this good old game. A hidden gem indeed.

Now I hope it works on Windows 8 and with modern systems.

I just saw this review on Youtube and I finally think it's more a mix between Sin and Quake 2 for its graphics and its lack of outdoor levels.
