Requiem For a Lost World

ai slop, soulless

Requiem For a Lost World is a really interesting survival roguelike because it gives the usual formula a different twist. Instead of directly controlling every attack, my weapons fight for me while I focus on movement, positioning and building a setup that can survive increasingly dangerous waves. I liked this approach because it lets me concentrate more on staying alive and making good decisions instead of constantly aiming. The build system is easily the strongest part for me. I can combine weapons, items and elemental reactions to create different effects, and finding a combination that works well together can completely change the flow of a run. I enjoyed experimenting with these interactions because the game encourages me to think about the whole build rather than treating every upgrade as an isolated improvement. The combat can become wonderfully chaotic. Enemies arrive in large numbers, projectiles fill the battlefield and I have to keep moving while watching what my build is doing around me. I liked the constant pressure because it makes even a strong character feel vulnerable when I get careless. Good positioning becomes especially important once there are too many threa…

This game is definitely enjoyable. I have followed the game for the past year or so and it has made tremendous improvements over that time. The game itself is a survivors game with many different characters, weapons and items, some better than others. The there's tons of smaller systems to upgrade your characters like a shop for shared permanent stats, a basic skill tree for shared permanent stats, character shards, relics and more. The art may be AI generated, but that shouldn't take away from the gameplay itself, which is quite fun.

It's so ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ dumb i love it. Edit: The updates ruined everything...

I had a lot of fun with this, took me 24 hours to master it. Only thing I can really ask for from what I played is a way to have low weapon effects/ particle effects while keeping other graphics options high. The reason why is because the further you get into this game the more likely you will be using area of effect weapons with bonuses to the area of effect meaning that certain weapons can take up the entire screen and you can no longer see anything.
