Requiem: Wrath of the Fallen
The Apocalypse Is Coming Two Years Ahead of Schedule
by Elliott Chin
Cyclone Studios is best known right now for its debut title Uprising, but after this summer, it'll be remembered for bringing Heaven and Hell to Earth. Cyclone Studios' first-person action game is set in the far future and features a very metaphysical storyline and heavy adventure game elements.
Heaven and Hell
Ages ago, a second war commenced in Heaven that divided the angels into the Chosen and the Fallen. The Fallen's latest evil plot is to exterminate all mankind by delivering souls to a massive spaceship called Leviathan.

Developer: Cyclone Studios
Publisher: 3DO
Target Release Date: September 1998
Engine: EMOTIVE (proprietary engine)
Synopsis: In the far future, you play an angel who has been sent to Earth to prevent an evil force of fallen angels from destroying humanity.
|
Once it is powered by these souls, Leviathan will unleash a devastation that will eradicate all of humanity. You play one of the Chosen, who must journey to the world of Creation to stop the Fallen.
Cyclone is very determined to make its action game an intelligent and cinematic one. The game unfolds in three acts. Each act is composed of many levels' worth of environments, all strung together seamlessly. The first act takes place on Creation's surface, where you bear witness to the horrors that the Fallen have visited upon the populace. The Fallen, after inhabiting the bodies of Creation's leaders, are now herding people into pens to await transportation to the Leviathan, as well as spreading general chaos and evil among the population.
PUNCH OUT Requiem's monsters range from humans to demons. The game's skeletal animation system will boast some great movement and regional damage. |
The second act of the game takes place in the underground of Creation. During this act, you'll face many of the hideous demons and deformed monsters that the Fallen unleashed from the mythical realm of Chaos (the land in between Heaven and Hell where the angels do serious battle - you'll battle Fallen boss monsters here).
The third act takes you to the ship Leviathan, where you'll finally do battle with the Fallen and try to make sense of this gigantic doomsday vessel.
