Requiem of Reuinis

Magic Tower games are a unique, and rather niche genre that blend RPG, puzzle and strategy together, often forcing you to calculate the most optimal order of choices possible across floors which are populated by locked doors, stat upgrades and enemies. Every fight is instant, and the result is decided purely down to your ATK and DEF, and the enemy's ATK and DEF. Can you make it to the end by being optimal enough? Or will you keep bleeding unnecessary HP, keys, or upgrades, and eventually fall short, unable to finish? I really enjoy these games, and always keep an eye open for new ones. This little niche gaming sphere is a lot bigger in China to my understanding, but there are a whole bunch of quality ones out there, and Requiem of Reuinis was the latest to catch my eye, particularly due to a unique design approach whereby failure is not just expected, but also part of your progression! The game is built upon a day-based system. Each day, you'll set out by picking a new area on the map (a magic tower, if you will), and you'll get as far through it as you can before you eventually teeter out and run out of resources, and either die, or choose to retreat. The magic here, is ho…

My 1st game for this genre. Never expected it to be my new favorite genre. Very good game with ton of content.

This game rocks.

A solid rpg/puzzle game full of content, with an absurdly high number of unique items and abilities that will shape your playstyle. If you enjoy at least one of the following: challenging RPGs, loadout customization, puzzles, maths, resource management - then you are likely to enjoy Reuinis, regardless if you played any Magic Tower-likes before. Demo has about 10-20 hours worth of content depending on your playstyle so it's worth trying to see if this is your kind of game or not. As an example, I had a mid-late game build with an item that makes all killed enemies shoot magical projectiles at 4 nearby living enemies. Then I added an item that makes all killed enemies die 2 more times (essentially tripling the amount of projectiles), as well as a whole bunch of stuff to boost magic damage. Nothing quite beats the feeling of killing a single enemy and starting a chain reaction which fills your screen with projectiles and particles - tanking your framerate and maybe even freezing your game, and obliterating every enemy on the map in the process...

Similarly to what others might say, this plays more like a Rouge-like game with Magic Tower elements. It's 1000% more accessible to causal players due to the fact you don't need insane run optimization to beat the game or even avoid a soft lock. And Rouge-like because you can create really stupid synergies that'll make you either god or blow your pc up with action queues. A Rouge-like puzzle game I guess, What is lacking to me is the story and character building. The world building could be alright due to the fact the Calamity is destroying information linked to it therefore would be removing history books and whatever. Therefore the lack of worldbuilding. I just wish I could've learnt a little bit more about the present society. Else than it being a generic medieval fantasy world with magic and a collapsed hyper advanced civilization. But that's me. What really sucks is the characters. Soulestation, the previous game (not connected to this), has more characterization for its protagonist than this game for its characters. Yes, there are many games that do not have story or lore bits or whatever to them, but Requiem of Reuinis has a very little amount of character interaction.…

game is good
