MMO Gamers

     I’ve never been a fan of free-to-play MMOGs, the production quality always seems low and combat tends to look more like Soul Calibre XVII rather than an immersive online world. Requiem: Bloodymare seems to offer something a little different from the standard fantasy MMO fare and may well change my opinion of Korean developed free-to-play MMOGs.

Requiem: Bloodymare is a massively multiplayer online game for mature audiences that will immerse you into a dark world of bloodshed devastated by generations of scientific and magical abuse. You’ll need to fight against the grotesque monsters that stalk the cursed land, and band together with your allies to survive against the stronger, bloodthirsty creatures that only prowl at night. Use a wide selection of weapons and the mysterious powers of Beast Possession to strike down your enemies and destroy evil. Requiem Online offers a refreshingly new approach to the MMOPRG genre with its grim, dark atmosphere and tense, blood splattering action.

     Much like Age of Conan, Requiem is marketing itself as a MMO for mature audiences and will feature lots of blood and bodily dismemberment.  It also has some unique features such as the Possession Beast System.  This allows players to transform into a Possession Beast which will increase their abilities for a short time. 

     Nightmare Monsters only appear at night and only for a few hours (2 hrs of game time equals 24hrs real time) and will require a full group (8) to defeat.  You will also be able to visit a DNA NPC to alter your DNA, allowing you to enhance certain skills/abilities at the cost of others.

     Requiem has just finished closed beta.  There’s still no official date for open beta or release.
