What the developers have to say:

Why Early Access?

“I would love to integrate player feedback into my game!
Requiem For a Lost World came to be because I felt like there is room for something better, a game where you wouldn't need to "wish" for a feature. With that commitment in mind I believe this community and your ideas should be at the heart of this project. Hopefully by the end of Early Access my game will turn into something that everyone will love playing!”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“I am expecting to be out of Early Access by the end of 2026 🎉”

How is the full version planned to differ from the Early Access version?

“I want the full version to be the best it can be!
The release version will focus on expanding the story content, bringing more playable characters, more weapons and upgrades!”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“As far as combat is concerned, the current version is largely feature complete. There are 4 maps that players can experience and no game breaking bugs should be present.
Story can be found on character shards that players can piece together, but it's large narrative part is still missing from the game”

Will the game be priced differently during and after Early Access?

“No, the game will remain completely free regardless of the scope!”

How are you planning on involving the Community in your development process?

“I want to closely work with community to bring both my and your ideas to life! Get feedback on what works and what doesn't. Sometimes others see what might be missing better than me-”

About This Game

Requiem For a Lost World is a survival roguelike where you don't attack directly, but build a system that fights for you. Your weapons fire automatically. Your job is to move, survive, and make the right decisions every time you level up.

No two runs play out the same. Every choice you make: which weapons to pick? which elements to combine? which items to sacrifice HP for? Shapes a build that either holds together under pressure or falls apart when the waves stop giving you room to breathe.

Play solo or bring up to 7 others along for the run!

Fight off hordes of enemies

Kill enemies, collect EXP, level up, choose what your build becomes and attempt to survive for 30 minutes.

Elite enemies drop special rewards if you manage to defeat them. Monster density and strength ramp continuously as the game progresses.

Even the best build can fail if played incorrectly - Learn and adapt.

Many characters with distinct abilities

Unlock the growing cast of over 25 unique characters.

Each character comes with a passive ability, a locked starting weapon, an active skill, and Shard upgrades that let you rank them up over time.

Some scale with enemy count. Some reward risky HP trading. Some revolve entirely around elemental reactions. Your character choice defines the shape of your build before the run even starts.

Build Your System

Vast selection of upgrades

Stack your loadout over the course of a run. Each level-up offers a randomized selection of new weapons, upgrades, or passive items to choose from a vast inventory of 100+ weapons and items. Every weapon follows and archetype and deals element-aligned damage making selecting right combinations more important than ever!

Elemental Reactions

Make a build focusing on multiple elements: hit an enemy with two different elements and a powerful reaction triggers unleashing even more devastation.

Or do the opposite: stack the same element repeatedly to trigger a different type of effect!

Experience the stylized world

Traverse the vast grass fields of the outskirts of the Capital, dive deep into dark dungeons of the Capital's undergrounds, or explore the vast snow plains of the Northern Tundra.

Beautiful VFX and the mix of 2D and 3D graphics will make sure to keep you visually entertained.

Each location is filled with puzzles and points of interest for you to discover.

Multiple progression systems

Equip characters with relics, acquire their rank-ups when weapons alone are no longer enough and unlock buffs from global passive tree.

Each character benefits from different stats, and it's up to you to find the perfect balance or define your own META build!

With nearly 40 upgradable stats there is plenty to choose from!

Plan your builds ahead of time

Tired of the randomness in your builds?

Strategize them with a built-in planner and compete in leaderboards for the high score!

Play with others

The full game supports online co-op for up to 8 players. Every player builds their own loadout independently, which means eight different builds sharing the same arena for extra chaos!

Add a team building to the mix: reaction-focused characters stack well with others running elemental weapons. Survivability roles free up more aggressive players to take risks. Possibilities are endless-

Or maybe you are a streamer, believing that your chat won't make the gameplay a living hell? With Twitch integration, you can let the chat control your fate!

In a world scarred by a forgotten era, only one sanctuary remains.

Beyond the chaos lies a deeper narrative.

Follow Nishi, a man trapped in an endless loop, reliving the same tragedy over and over again in a desperate attempt to save the one he loves.

Meet unforgettable characters whose fates intertwine.

Piece together the truth of a world that has already ended… more than once.
