Requiem For a Lost World

Requiem For a Lost World is a survival roguelike in which your weapons attack automatically while you move, survive and shape a build through level-up choices. Play solo or in online co-op with up to seven other players. Each run challenges you to adapt your choices as enemy waves grow stronger and more numerous.

Story and world

In a world scarred by a forgotten era, only one sanctuary remains. Follow Nishi, a man trapped in an endless loop as he relives the same tragedy in an attempt to save the person he loves. Meet characters whose fates intertwine and piece together the truth of a world that has ended more than once.

The game’s locations include the frozen tundra of the corrupted Northern Plains, grass fields on the outskirts of the Capital, dark dungeons and the Forbidden Zone. Each location contains puzzles and points of interest. The world uses a mix of 2D and 3D graphics with visual effects and customizations.

Survive each run

Kill enemies to collect EXP, level up and choose what your build becomes as you try to survive for 30 minutes. Level-ups offer a randomized selection of weapons, upgrades and passive items from an inventory of more than 100 weapons and items. Weapons follow different archetypes and deal element-aligned damage, so your combinations shape how your build performs. Elite enemies drop special rewards when defeated, while enemy density and strength increase throughout a run.

Your choices include which weapons to take, which elements to combine and whether to trade HP for items. Builds can hold together under pressure or fall apart when the waves leave you little room to maneuver, so learning and adapting matters.

Characters and builds

Unlock a growing cast of over 25 characters. Each has a passive ability, a locked starting weapon, an active skill and Shard upgrades that let you rank them up over time. Some characters scale with enemy numbers, some reward trading HP for advantages, and others focus on elemental reactions. Your character choice helps shape your build before a run begins.

During a run, combine weapons, upgrades and passive items. Hitting an enemy with two different elements triggers a powerful reaction; repeatedly stacking the same element produces a different effect. Outside battles, equip characters with relics, earn rank-ups and unlock buffs through the global passive tree. Characters benefit from different stats, and nearly 40 stats can be upgraded.

Co-op and planning

In online co-op for up to eight players, each player builds a loadout independently, bringing up to eight different builds into the same arena. Characters focused on reactions can work alongside players using elemental weapons, while more survivable roles can support teammates who take greater risks. Twitch integration lets chat affect your fate.

A built-in planner lets you strategize builds ahead of time, and leaderboards track high scores.
