A new tactical RPG is entering the spotlight, and it’s bringing a grim, high-stakes experience for strategy fans. MEMOLITH: Forsaken by Light has officially launched worldwide on April 27, 2026 (PDT), now available on PC via Steam and Epic Games.
Published by WEBZEN and developed by Black Anchor, the game delivers a hardcore turn-based tactical experience set in a medieval world consumed by darkness.
A Dark Story with High Stakes
Set in the ruined city of Remore, the game revolves around a mysterious mineral called the Memolith—once believed to be a divine blessing. However, when its light fades and eventually disappears, a catastrophic event unleashes a deadly phenomenon known as the “Dark Shroud.”
This dark fog drives people into madness, transforming them into monstrous entities. What remains are a handful of survivors fighting not just enemies, but also the environment itself.
The narrative leans heavily into themes of survival, consequence, and moral pressure—something that will resonate with players who enjoy story-driven strategy games.
Tactical Gameplay That Punishes Mistakes
Unlike typical RPGs where brute force can carry you through, MEMOLITH emphasizes calculated decision-making. Players control a small team of three Survivors, making every move critical.
Key gameplay elements include:
- Positioning and awareness — enemies react to sound and line of sight
- Turn-based combat with pressure mechanics — mistakes can quickly snowball
- Resource and risk management — survival is just as important as victory
This makes the game especially appealing to fans of tactical titles who enjoy thinking several steps ahead.
What Makes It Stand Out
Here’s a quick breakdown of what players can expect:
- Outnumbered Combat – Fight overwhelming enemy waves with only a small squad
- 80+ Handcrafted Stages – Explore different districts of a ruined city
- Character Roles & Builds – Each Survivor has a defined combat identity
- Memolith Shards System – Over 130 shards allow flexible skill customization
- Constant Threat Mechanic – The Dark Shroud adds urgency to every mission
The customization system, in particular, gives players freedom to experiment with builds—something Filipino RPG players typically enjoy, especially those who like optimizing characters for different playstyles.
System Requirements (PC)
The game remains relatively accessible in terms of hardware:
- CPU: i5-6500 or equivalent
- RAM: 4 GB
- GPU: GTX 1650 or equivalent
- Storage: 500 MB
This means even mid-range setups can run the game smoothly, making it more accessible to local players without high-end rigs.
Final Take
For Pinoy gamers who enjoy strategy-heavy titles with a dark atmosphere, MEMOLITH: Forsaken by Light offers a refreshing challenge. It’s not your typical casual RPG—this one demands patience, planning, and smart decision-making.
If you’re into games where every move matters and survival isn’t guaranteed, this might be worth checking out.
