Back in the very late 90s there was a mini craze about which FPS games were bound to dethrone Quake, and press articles about the next bunch of gorgeous titles to make our 3Dfx card implode. I remember seeing Requiem in one of those articles and man it looked good. Unfortunately I wasn't able to get it back then, save for playing the demo which was promising though a bit iffy in some areas. The game went completely …

Requiem: Avenging Angel is a first person shooter released at around the same time as Half-Life and Unreal. Unfortunately it didn't sell especially well and is completely forgotten today. Superficially it plays very similar to Quake and Dark Forces 2. It takes place in a religiously inspired setting crossed with sci-fi. You play as an Angel named Malachi sent to Earth to stop Lilith. Who rules over a dystopia that …

This is the shooter I grew up with. hard as hell, but fun. your an angel using guns or heavenly killing spells such as locusts, or my favorite, blood boil. they swell up, and little pincusion blood trails pop up all over, then boom! if you like old school, hard ass shoot em ups this is the game for you. my only issue is there is only one difficulty, and its stuck on hard as balls.

This game just had bad luck, because it was released around the same period when Half-Life and Unreal come out. I think that, for that reason alone, doesn't got the deserved attention and became easily forgotten. It's an hidden gem, though. I have beaten the game 15 years ago and liked it a lot. It has an interesting plot and very good gameplay. In my opinion, this game scores 8/10.

Do you like Judge Dredd? Do you like dark dystopian science fiction? Do you like Quake 2, Half-Life, SiN, AvP 1 and 2 or even Dark Messiah? Do you like heavy/industrial metal music and imagery? Do you crave the simple yet charmingly abstract and artistically crafted 3D graphics of the late 90s? Do you like the Old Testament? Well if you answered yes to even one of the questions above then Requiem: Avenging Angel is …

Players who liked Requiem: Avenging Angel talk about unique biblical sci-fi setting and atmosphere; those who didn't talk about crashes and technical issues on modern PCs. Which matters more to you?
Critics, per Wikipedia
The game received above-average reviews according to the review aggregation website GameRankings. Some of the highest praise for the game came from PC Zone, in a review by Charlie Brooker. Brooker praised the game's variety of well-designed character models, and its advanced animation system, stating that the game had "impressive character models that move in all kinds of unpleasantly believable ways." IGN claimed that the level design was boring and uninspired, and although the game had a competent single player experience, multiplayer was lacking. GameSpot commended the game's innovative angelic powers available for use, comparing them favourably with the force powers in Jedi Knight.…

neutral · AI labelView post →Thanks for bringing us this awesome classic! Works out of the box, but you´ll need to: -Run nglide_config.exe (in the game´s folder) to set up res to 1080, 4k, etc -Remap almost all keys -Tweak some Nvidia settings for this game for AA (Nvidia control panel). I finished the game, rock solid at 4K (Only 2 crashes fighting against Lilith, but after disabling the steam overlay in that fight everything was just perfect)
