Realm Acts: Take command of devastating elemental magic — fire, ice, and beyond — in thrilling 2D action stages. Once you've cleared a stage of darkness, humanity reclaims the land and your work of building thriving civilizations begins.
Brand-new spells not found in the original game have been introduced, along with a dodge mechanic to sharpen your combat options. Expanded attack directions — including upward and downward strikes — make for a far more fluid and dynamic fighting experience. You'll need every tool at your disposal to topple the fearsome new bosses lurking at the end of the expanded action stages.
Realm Management: Nurture your growing settlements by channeling divine powers to shape the land itself. Summon bolts of lightning or unleash earthquakes to clear away trees and boulders blocking your people's expansion. Take control of the Lord of Light's angel, wielding a powerful bow to fend off the wicked creatures that threaten your villagers.
Defend your settlements against enemy invasions in real-time strategic encounters. Carefully positioning your forts and deploying your miraculous powers at just the right moment will determine whether your people survive these relentless assaults.
Discover richly expanded narratives chronicling humanity's journey to overcome their deepest flaws, learn compassion, and grow stronger together. These new story scenarios deliver more than double the content found in the original game. Venture into a vast new realm and enjoy building your civilization across a longer, more immersive experience than ever before!
Returning composer Yuzo Koshiro has lovingly re-arranged every beloved track from the original Actraiser while contributing 15 entirely new compositions to the mix. Toggle freely between the classic originals and the freshly re-arranged versions at any time during gameplay. Need a break from guiding and defending your people? Sit back, let the music wash over you, and simply enjoy the masterful score.
