PROTOCOL: Requiem

Humanity is long gone. AI has taken over. The androids rule the world. Yet, there is hope. Long ago, the architect of the androids, trying to amend his mistakes, left a few Replicas that would fight back for humanity. With their help, you might be able to rescue humanity. STRATEGIC FOCUS Every attempt at navigating the Hyperstructure will invite you to try out new Replica strategies as well as discovering synergies between them. The emphasis is on your strategic thinking, and less on the luck of the draw. Know your enemies, focus on your objectives, and overcome the challenging levels. FEATURES: - 8 Replica classes - Over 250 Protocols - Modules for each Replica that can dramatically change how they play - Randomized levels with varying setups, to keep you on your toes - Fair Roguelike structure. You only depend on your wits to overcome the challenges - Choices matter. Kill this enemy or unlock a new Protocol? Easy to understand. Hard to Master. Operating Replicas won’t take you long to get used to, but optimizing their turns is a long-term challenge. The AI Automatons are not easy on intruders. After all, they are now the supreme beings on what’s left of planet Earth. But with your brilliance, you may yet give humanity hope. PROTOCOL: Requiem invites you know your Replicas intimately. Each Replica has its own unique operating system! Shoot Hyperbullets with the Gunslinger, Play the Chorus with the Soundblaster, Operate your Blade Modes with the Hyperblade, Manage romantic inspiration with Ladyknight, and more. GUNSLINGER Gunslinger is a ranged shooter that can decimate enemies from afar, but you must keep an eye on the ammo! You don’t want to find yourself needing a last shot and having an empty magazine… HYPERBLADE Hyperblade is a melee class that primarily deals damage to enemies. However, it can also acess different MODES that help survive battles, or even heal itself. LADYKNIGHT Ladynight is a melee tank that focuses on absorbing damage and protecting allies. With the help of its Muse, it maintains order and security throughout the levels of the Hyperstructure. SOUNDBLASTER Soundblaster is a supportive character. He uses his guitar to destroy enemies while buffing, shielding, and healing allies. Alongside your Replicas, you must carefully maneuver your Energy Deck, in order to pick the right Protocols with the Energy that was drawn. Further, the world around you will ask for specific Energies to unlock more powerful Protocols, Replica bonuses, and unlocking secrets. The Energy Deck is the main mechanism driving this game. It has several purposes: • When you have the appropriate Energy, you can cast the best (or your favourite) Protocols. • If you use a specifically requested type of Energy, your Replica can level up and unlock more Protocols. • Throughout the Hyperstructure levels, Terminals can appear. They can unlock parts of the level, Protocols for your Replicas, and Modules that enhance your party. • The Energy Deck is SHARED between all Replicas throughout the levels. • It is possible to redraw Energies, though these requests are limited. This means that you need to manage the available Energies while considering all possible maneuvers. Killing enemies, supporting your allies, unlocking Terminals, or advancing your Replicas.
