An AI dungeon master tells you where you are. You type what you do next. Not a menu of choices — type anything, and the story bends to it. Dice decide if it works. Four worlds, 16 classes, turn-based combat with timing rings, and loot you can reforge. FOUR WORLDS, SIXTEEN CLASSES Medieval fantasy — Warrior, Rogue, Ranger, Paladin, Sorcerer, Necromancer, Druid. Steel, arrows, holy magic and wild magic. Cyberpunk — Edge Runner, Net Runner, Corpo. Hack the neon streets, then survive them. Greek mythology — Demigod, Titan, Valkyrie. Divine power, divine consequences. Edo Japan — Samurai, Ninja, Monk. Katana, shadow and discipline. YOUR AI DUNGEON MASTER - Write your own action in your own words instead of picking from a menu - Dice decide the risky ones, and failure bends the story instead of ending the run - Four narrator tones, from Grim & Gritty to Witty - 26 enhanced HD narrator voices, 52 voices in total - Scene images drawn as the story turns - 80 branching story templates, so a new run is a new story TURN-BASED COMBAT YOU PLAY, NOT WATCH - Four timing mini-games: converging rings, swipe combo, circular clockwise, hold and release - Perfect timing doubles the hit; a 20-hit combo streak takes it to 4× - Parry with a timing sequence that is different for every enemy - Break gauge: chip it down and the enemy is stunned, unarmoured and wide open - Class abilities, summons and permanent companions that change form mid-fight - 182 monsters, each with its own weaknesses to find LOOT AND THE BLACKSMITH - 900+ magic, rare, legendary and unique items, most with a story written on them - Gamble an item for new stats, reforge it, re-enchant it, upgrade it - Chests, relics, dice skins and stash space to spend gold on - Bad-luck protection on drops, so a dry streak ends ENDGAME - Colosseum: 15 ranked tiers, and your story character carries into them - Endless Onslaught: waves until something finally kills you - Fracture Gauntlet: a new run every week - Monthly seasons with their own journey, titles and badges WHAT ONE TURN LOOKS LIKE The narrator sets the scene. You type "I cut the rope bridge behind us" instead of picking one of three buttons, the dice decide whether the rope gives before you do, and the result is written into the world you are standing in. Twenty turns later it is still there, and so is the ally you saved or left behind.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Second Temple at none against Requiem's 9. Second Temple also leads on ads (none vs shown) and device support (4 vs 2). Requiem's advantage is update cadence (every 2 days vs every 3 months). On price and review sentiment there is nothing between them.
