Actraiser Renaissance

Actraiser Renaissance combines 2D action stages called Realm Acts with settlement-building and management in Realm Management. You play as the Lord of Light, aided by a loyal angel, and help humanity flourish in a world threatened by evil.

Realm Acts

In these 2D stages, you use magic such as fire and ice to conquer realms. Once a stage is cleared, humans return to reclaim the realm and you can begin cultivating settlements. New magic and a dodge move expand your abilities, while upward and downward attacks give you more ways to fight. Stronger bosses appear at the ends of the new action stages.

Realm Management

Cultivate settlements and guide their people as they grow. You can summon lightning and cause earthquakes to clear obstacles such as trees and boulders. Play as the Lord of Light’s angel, using a bow and arrows to drive away monsters that prey on your people.

Enemy raids lead to real-time strategic battles to protect your settlements. Fort placement and the timing of your miracles are key to winning these engagements.

Stories and music

The game adds stories about humanity’s struggles with its flaws and failings, and how people learn to love one another and grow stronger together. These new scenarios contain more than twice the story of the original, alongside an all-new realm, additional action stages and a new, powerful boss.

The soundtrack features remastered music, with all the original tracks rearranged by composer Yuzo Koshiro and 15 new tracks added. You can switch between the original music and the rearranged versions while playing.

Additional features

The game also includes HD 2D graphics, autosave and difficulty levels.
