Actraiser Renaissance Version 1.10 Descends Onto Switch, Here Are The Full Patch Notes

Sniper



Square Enix Japan has dropped a new trailer for its remake of the 1990 Quintet classic, Actraiser Renaissance, which showcases everything in the brand new patch, which has gone live today.

Version 1.10 is the first update to the game since its release last year, and it brings with it a handful of tweaks. Most importantly, Yuzo Koshiro has had his hands on the music again, making it sound even better than it already did. We’d pay for that, personally.

Here’s everything that version 1.10 brings to this loving remake of the original cult classic:

Version 1.10 (Released 2nd May, 2022)

– The item and SP potion drop rates during realm management and settlement defense have been increased.
– The population requirements to complete certain objectives in Aitos and Marahna during realm management have been reduced.
– The option to skip previously completed settlement siege battles has been added. (This feature is only available after completing the game.)

– The difficulty of the Rafflasher boss fight in Marahna Act 1 has been adjusted.
– The “Renaissance Actions” setting has been added to the game settings menu. If toggled off, backstepping, combos, rising strikes and overhead slams will be disabled, providing players with an experience closer to that of the original Actraiser.
– The stage clear sequence has been adjusted.

– The option to change the angel’s outfit during cutscenes has been added.
– A number of the musical compositions have been further refined by Yuzo Koshiro.
– An option to view update information has been added to the title screen.
– Various other minor issues have also been addressed.

Sounds like a lot of these updates are to make things a little bit easier for players. But the addition of “Renaissance Actions” also sounds promising. This new mode is meant to make Renaissance feel more like the original SNES Actraiser, which might add a bit of an extra challenge to those craving it.

If you haven’t picked up Actraiser Renaissance yet, it’s currently on sale (at the time of writing this) on the US eShop for $20.99 — so go pick it up! In our review of the game last year, we gave it an 8/10, saying, “While it’s not perfect, Actraiser Renaissance will nonetheless find favour with fans of the original, as well as pick up plenty of new fans along the way.”
