Requiem: Avenging Angel

Will a possible sequel to this fine FPS ever be made?

Now, I normally loathe FPS's. However, this one was different. You played a fallen angel, who had to destroy evil scum in order to get back to Heaven, or something like that. In addition to guns, you had access to divine angelic powers. It was kinda like the Jedi Knight series, though not as good unfortunately.

But it had tons of potential.

Any idea of a sequel in the works? Could someone Kickstart this?

Discuss!!

I only have a weird memory of this, playing it a very early and cold morning.

Also: pistol with Holy Mary stamped on it.

Pretty crappy with a mildly interesting setting, if I remember correctly. I don't see any reason for this to get any funding.

I played the hell out of the demo when it came out. Then I bought it and found out that if you had played the demo, you had basically played the whole game.

The devs are M.I.A., and Ubisoft owns the rights...

I remember a much cooler game about angels: Messiah, where you play a baroque stylized angel with no way to attack enemies, but the ability to posses anyone (and then use their guns etc). I don't really remember if it was very good, but the concept was excellent.

I remember using blood boil on enemies until they exploded. Also fun turning them into salt. Good times.

I liked the opening meaty level but later on got bored with brown metal walls.

But I would pay for sequel of Shogo.

It had really cool models and weapons. Very satisfying knocking down one of those armored soldiers with a shotgun and the guy staggering back up. IIRC there are respawning enemies because I remember when you get that spell that reanimates dead soldiers you can create these massive battles by getting a bunch of them. In the demo, near the end of it especially you could do this. Pretty damn fun.

Ahhh the glory of particle blood.

I played thru demo about 75 times. The full game didn't appeal to me, oddly.

Same goes for SiN.

I remember being impressed with the fact that if you turned some one into salt they would disintegrate.

Oh yeah Messiah, that was a good game. Well, lots of fun at least. But then it got old.

This thread reminded me of a Polish action game called Archangel. It was about a Geralt lookalike who died in a car accident and became an angel. He had a demon form too, for some inexplicable reason. I don't think I got very far into it because of how clunky the action was.

Yes, Shogo. The vehicle levels were done well, but felt too few in number. I was impressed with the FPS/vehicle duality of the game when I played it for the first time ages ago.

Yeah, it's the game where you play as a cherub, right? I don't remember much of it, but do remember that that period stands out in memory as having cool FPS's.

I was one of the guys who played the hell out of the demo, too. I remember having a lot of fun converting guys to your side, getting them to follow you and fight former comrades.

I abused the hell out of Pillar of Salt. Loved that power.

The game had its crappy moments, yet I was still captivated with some of the magic/angle powers, such as slow motion and resurrection. I recalling having a small army of about 20 resurrected enemy following me around and killing yet more enemy. So the army only grew larger. Sadly the game won't play nice with Windows XP and above. I would be happy if GOG took it under its wings and released a working version.

Just a note, I'm playing it right now with Wine.

Awesome Don.

What's Wine btw? Some operating system, like Windows and Linux?

What's your favorite power? Favorite gun?

Also, I don't fully remember, but if I recall correctly you never got a flaming sword or something to weild as a weapon. That is kinda unforgivable, since Angels are typically supposed to weild swords...

Wine is an application for Linux that allows you to run Windows-based software.

I'm in the first levels. The best thing I've got is a submachine gun (that doesn't need to reload ever) and Pentecost.

Anyway, it still has some bugs. But you can bypass them with these savegames: http://www.fileplanet.com/202363/200000/fileinfo/Requiem:-Avenging-Angel---WinXP-Saved-Game
