Developed by the makers of ''VideoGame/RagnarokOnline'' and released in 2008, it features more conventional 3D gameplay and a DarkerAndEdgier world. Originally called Requiem: Bloodymares, its name changed to Requiem: Momento Mori [[note]]A latin phrase which translates to [[MeaningfulName "Remember, you will die"]][[/note]] following the ExpansionPack of the same name.

16	!! ''Requiem'' provides examples of:
17
18	%%* AbandonedLaboratory:
19	* AerithAndBob: The four Possession Beasts: Giont, Rebria, ''Carlos and Rufus.''
20	* AllegedlyFreeGame: The game begins easy enough, but the leveling curve eventually makes the additional XP items from the online shops look more appealing. You can also purchase mounts and cosmetic costumes from these shops.
21	%%* AnAdventurerIsYou:
22	* BeautyIsNeverTarnished: Averted, which is odd considering the amount of Fan Service in this game. As your character takes more damage, wounds and blood appear over their body.
23	%%* {{BFG}}: [[RayGun Launchers.]]
24	%%* {{BFS}}: Both the one-handed and two-handed swords count.
25	%%* BigBoosHaunt: Several of the areas with graveyards.
26	%%* BigRedDevil: Carlos.
27	* BodyHorror: Many of the monsters qualify, as quite a few of them are a result of horrible genetic experiments gone wrong.
28	** Rexes, the first permanent mounts you receive, have legs where their arms should be and wings where their legs should be.
29	%%* BoobyTrap: Show up in dungeons to attack players or be a hindrance in some way.
30	* ChainmailBikini: All females can be expected to wear them at least some point in the game. Both genders of the Kruxena to this trope to ridiculous levels
31	* CuteMonsterGirl: For the most part averted. The Kruxena are extremely skinny and have monstrous right arms. The Xenoas are also extremely skinny, and resemble small children the size of adults.
32	%%* CrapsackWorld: Moderate compared to other examples, but still very unpleasant.
33	%%* CyberPunk:
34	%%* DarkerAndEdgier: The main visual hook of the game.
35	* DarkWorld: During the Nightmare hours (Between 23:00-3:00), the game takes you into one. Its mostly unchanged, but there are more dangerous monsters appear during these hours. Fog also appears in areas with Nightmare monsters.
36	%%* DeathIsASlapOnTheWrist: For the first 20 levels anyway.
37	* DeathMountain: Cyclone Heights, A red mountainous region where parts of the ground appear to be bleeding.
38	%%* DemonicPossession: Invoked with the Possession Beasts.
39	* DoubleStandardRapeMaleOnMale / HoYay: In the slums of Nova Lux, there is a pair of drunks in the alleyway, one of them obviously suffering from a bad break up. The other one says to him: "You've had enough of break-up hell. Now let me show you heaven."
40	%%* EnfantTerrible: The Nephas, who are the first Nightmare monsters in the game.
41	* FanDisservice: Both genders of the Kruxena start off the game in extremely skimpy armor. The fact that they're so skinny makes it kind of squicky.
42	%%* FanService: Oh so much.
43	* FullFrontalAssault: The Koonts. While the majority of other monsters are in the nude, the Koonts combine this with DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything in a way that looks quite lewd.
44	* {{Gorn}}: Whenever players kill monsters. Combined with RagdollPhysics and multiple ways they'll be carved up based on your last attack.
45	* HellHound: Appear as fleshy monsters with visible skeletal structures. They also have a [[BodyHorror hand and a foot growing out of their back.]]
46	%%* HellishPupils: The Kruxena.
47	%%* {{Humanoid Abomination}}s: A good chunk of the monsters.
48	* LimitBreak: The possession beasts. Using them requires a full Hardcore meter, which naturally fills up as you stay alive in game.
49	%%* LudicrousGibs: Kill something as a possession beast.
50	%%* MoreTeethThanTheOsmondFamily: Many of the mobs in the game qualify.
51	* OneWingedAngel: ''Players'' can utilize this trope through the Possession Beast system, providing a temporary buff to their damage, health, and powers.
52	%%* OurDemonsAreDifferent:
53	%%* PlayboyBunny: One of the available costumes. Is a bear suit when worn by men.
54	* {{Precursors}}: Only four remain of the eight original races.
55	%%* RagdollPhysics:
56	%%* RayGun: Launchers.
57	* RedRightHand: The Kruxena, who have monstrous right arms and feet.
58	* ReligiousAndMythologicalThemeNaming: Several characters enemies species including the Arioch.
59	%%* SceneryGorn:
60	* SceneryPorn: The game has some very impressive looking zones with incredibly bleak feeling atmospheres.
61	* SchizoTech: The game manages to combine medieval fantasy with CyberPunk style technology.
62	* ShoutOut: The Ruins of Lament bares a remarkable similarity to the [[Film/{{Alien}} Nostromo.]]
63	** There's also a junk item called the [[Literature/CharlieAndTheChocolateFactory Golden Ticket.]]
64	%%* SlasherSmile: Basilisks.
65	%%* SmallGirlBigGun: The Xenoas hunters when using [[RayGun launchers.]]
66	* SpiritualSequel: Obviously unintentional, but the monster designs, bleak atmosphere and landscapes are extremely reminiscent of the first two ''VideoGame/LegacyOfKain'' games.
67	%%* {{Stripperiffic}}:
68	%%* SummonMagic: Soul Hunters.
69	%%* SuperSoldier: The player and other Temperions.
70	* TheUndead:
