Evaluation

MEMOLITH: Forsaken by Light launched its official 1.0 release on April 27, 2026, after approximately six years of development by Black Anchor. Since launch, the developer has been actively communicating with the community: they hosted a one-month anniversary celebration in early June 2026 with a sale event, community giveaways, and a free digital soundtrack download (NEWS-5, NEWS-6). They have also been running regular live stream playthroughs of the game through late June 2026 (NEWS-2 through NEWS-10). On July 4, 2026, they published a lengthy retrospective blog post (NEWS-1) looking back on the game's six-year development history — a tone that suggests reflection on a completed journey rather than an announcement of future content. No DLC, expansions, or post-launch content roadmap have been announced. There is no post-launch content pattern to analyze yet, and the game has only been out for about 2.5 months as of today. It remains too early to determine whether the developer intends to release additional content.

About this game

‘MEMOLITH: Forsaken by Light’ is a turn-based tactical RPG that focuses on the thrill of overcoming absurdly dangerous situations through the player’s wits.

In the apocalyptic world where dozens, sometimes hundreds, of monsters swarm at once, the player can only send out three expedition members at a time.

In this world without guns or magic, the expedition must rely solely on cold weapons and meticulous tactics to survive and restore the city's light.

Explore the Desolated City

  • The once exuberant medieval city of REMORE, now in ruins after being swept away by monsters, is depicted in over 80 stages using vivid pixel art, and the expedition can directly explore the city connected by winding paths.

  • In stages with distinct themes, such as the Pleasure District, Guild District, Military District, and Great Basilica, you must understand and adapt to the characteristics of monsters that attack with different abilities each time in order to survive.

Rescue the Survivors

  • The "Dark Shroud" that swept through the city after the destruction of the sacred relic 'Memolith' devoured most of the living, turning them into monsters. However, even amidst this, there are those who still burn with the will to live.

  • Meet characters with completely different personalities: a shield-wielding Royal Guard, a supportive Arbalist, a Barbarian who sweeps away enemies with a two-handed weapon, a Shadow Sister who moves stealthily while concealing herself, and a heretic Inquisitor who stands firm and slaughters enemies with a two-handed mace.

Carry on the Memories of the Dead

  • The fragments of the 'Memolith' that have been destroyed contain the memories of the dead REMORE people, and by 'binding' these memories, you can inherit the abilities they displayed in life.

  • Collect over 130 unique "Memolith Fragments" with unique abilities to customize your Survivors' abilities. Equip your favorite characters with weapons crafted by the "Blacksmith," creating your own unique combination of weapons, skills, and characters.

Survive the Threats of Powerful Enemies

  • Powerful, mutated adversaries await the expedition, offering a challenge unlike any other monster.

  • Only by employing the best strategy and flawless tactics will ensure victory against these grotesques menaces.

Reclaim the Lost Light

  • The "Dark Shroud," which has turned the REMORE people into monsters, continues to erode the expedition's Willpower, slowly consuming them. Before the Dark Shroud destroys the will of the expedition, they must illuminate the "Guiding Pillar" and return to their hideout, The Catacombs beneath the city.

  • With each step, with each district, overcome the pressure of the encroaching Dark Shroud and reclaim the light of Memolith to bring peace back to the land.
