Capcom's free additional content for "Resident Evil Requiem" is heaven-sent for fans of the game, particularly as it brings the kind of difficulty and extra challenge that they did not get from the base game.
'Resident Evil Requiem' Free DLC Brings Extra Difficulty
While there will be a wait for any story DLC for "Resident Evil Requiem," Capcom has made sure that fans of the hugely successful game are not empty-handed.
For players who want something to enjoy a new kind of "Requiem" experience now, "Leon Must Die Forever" is available for free and it is a serious step up from what the base game offered.
Found in the Extra Games menu of "Resident Evil Requiem," the mode is part of a free DLC drop from Capcom. Unlike the base game's campaign, the difficulty levels of "Resident Evil Requiem" are consistent in this mode, providing a unique experience.
What to Expect From 'Leon Must Die Forever' DLC?
According to ComicBook Gaming, the mode works as a roguelike experience as players enter multiple stages from the campaign, trying to eliminate enemies to get through scenarios before time runs out. Getting through 20 stages and defeating the final boss Victor Gideon is the key to victory.
A total of nine stages comprise a run, and players must find a glowing door to move from one stage to the next after fighting through waves of enemies and scrounging for limited resources.
The restrictions are what make it brutally different from the main game.
Some enemies can only be killed in specific ways, with glowing blue enemies requiring a hatchet parry. Foes with a red glow, on the other hand, can only be taken down using explosives or a melee attack. Weapons are hard to find in a stage too, and they are locked behind random spawns in crates.
The resource management of "Leon Must Die Forever" is leagues ahead of the complexity in "Resident Evil Requiem's" usual story. On top of the usual survival horror mechanics, players have to take clock management, ability modifiers, weapon restrictions, and stage progression difficulty into account. It might take multiple runs to even reach the final boss, let alone beat it.
Multiple pieces of special content are also unlocked by playing through the mode, giving fans a reason to keep coming back.
