Requiem of Hell:

Requiem of Hell is Role Playing Game - much like Diablo. When the land is over taken by evil, you are resurrected from the dead by a fairy. You get to chose between playing a male, or female character - I presume them to be equal, though I've only played as one.

Your main objective is to kill the deamon causing this havock, by killing everything evil in your path. As you go along you gain level ups, and collect items. You're followed by the fairy "GIGI", who comes in handy when you need some extra health, or hints.

As with any Role Playing Game, you get various weapons (some with magical properties), and items (food) to regenerate your health - pressing "7" when you have very low health will cause GIGI to heal you slightly (hopefully enough to get away) - and meet various people. There seem to be "super monsters" (different colour, and tougher). You also have a map to help you navigate around the level.

Unfortunately the sound can be a little repetitive (as you'll notice by watching the opening sequence), but the gameplay and graphics make up for it. I find the biggest annoyance to be GIGI - she always seems to have something (long and boring) to say... generally in the middle of combat, so while you're rapidly pressing "5" (attack) you skip past half of what she's said.

The game offers 6 save-game slots, so you can save or load at any point in the game and supports multiplayer (via bluetooth). You can used a saved character in multiplayer.

I'm definately going to make a point of playing, and finishing, this game - though I can't say I'm too concerned about the story line. I can only hope that people will release modifications for this game (new levels, items, monsters, etc).
