According to the DLC's description, Leon has access to special abilities, including enhancements, which can be used to improve the firepower of his weapons, the durability of his battleaxe, and more. Players should seek out glowing doors to advance to the next level, with enemies increasing in difficulty the higher level Leon is. As with other roguelikes, dying means a game over and starting over, so players should choose their enhancements and weigh carefully. Players can also use points from the main campaign to influence which random weapon is chosen, while boosts can be earned by killing enemies and clearing areas.
Even if it's not story DLC that Resident Evil Requiem fans have been waiting for, and while it also doesn't bring back characters that players have been asking for, like Ada Wong, the mode should offer some fun for those looking to pass the time. Players can complete 11 challenges, and given its villainous nature, the game mode can offer a lot of replayability for those who enjoy the random challenges and finding the best paths and upgrades to get through them. While players are likely looking forward to knowing what happens next in Resident Evil storyline, this game mode can at least satisfy those who like Leon's action-based games Resident Evil Requiem.

Resident Evil Requiem has been a huge success for Capcom, managing to bridge the gameplay between two different characters and playstyles. However, there are still several questions to be answered that were created by the game, such as who Leon S. Kennedy is married to. Players are also curious to know if Grace will appear in the future Resident Evil game, or if she will be sidelined like a number of opposites that have appeared in the franchise over the years. With the developers saying they're still working on the story DLC, it's likely that it will end up answering at least some of the fanbase's lingering questions.
