Angelique Tenkuu no Requiem

About

Angelique Tenkuu no Requiem is a 1998 visual novel with RPG elements that follows a young heroine tasked with saving a fractured kingdom. Players guide the protagonist through turn-based battles and narrative choices as she gathers allies and confronts an invading tyrant. The story blends sci-fi and fantasy themes with a focus on rebuilding a lifeless world, supported by character development and strategic combat. What sets it apart is its niche appeal as a late-90s RPG designed specifically for female audiences, a rarity at the time. The Premium Box edition featured a leather-bound manual and a collectible clear file for buyers during Koei's 1999 promotion. While it fits into a series, the game functions as a standalone adventure with self-contained lore. Despite limited modern exposure, its blend of narrative and gameplay remains a curiosity for fans of retro RPGs and visual novels.

Storyline

The Sacred Beast Cosmos is born, and its queen has been chosen. After a brief stay at the Sacred Bird Cosmos, the fledgling cosmos has become hospitable and manifested its first planet. The new Queen and her aide monitor their growing if lifeless realm together in their newly built palace. One day, a powerful entity calling himself "the Emperor" invades the Sacred Bird Cosmos to conquer it for himself. He separates the Sacred Guardians and converts the residents of her home planet into monsters. With the weakening Queen forced into hiding, Rosalia hurries to the Queen of the Sacred Beast Cosmos for assistance. Rosalia gives the protagonist clothes for combat and a legendary rod, Ellicia the Gray, to prepare her for her journey. The protagonist must locate her allies and rescue the Queen of the Sacred Bird Cosmos from the Emperor.
