The PC version includes options for Japanese and English text and audio. Alongside all of the classic features, from the favorability system to the unorthodox combat based on carried items, the remaster includes various quality-of-life features like the option to skip events, high-definition versions of the +90 illustrations and auto-save.

You can also change the background music, choose the difficulty and mode, use Boost to learn skills faster and increase the speed by up to five times. The UI is also more user-friendly (which the PC version further improves on). Stay tuned for more details when it launches next month.

Based on Norse mythology, Riviera sees Ein battling demons in a quest to seal the Accursed. While previously a Grim Angel, Ein sacrificed his wings for his weapon, Einherjar. He’s joined by the familiar Rose and four companions – Fia, Lina, Serene and Cierra. Depending on how Ein interacts with a companion, they can forge a relationship which leads to different endings.

The gameplay is also unique because Ein isn’t freely moveable in areas. Instead, you must investigate in Look Mode and use Trigger Points for different events. In combat, there are two formations – Attack and Magic – and depending on the items and who wields them, you can employ different abilities.

Riviera: The Promised Land was also released for PlayStation Portable in 2007 and featured full voice-acting, improved visuals and more than 50 “reworked” scenes. Time will tell which version the remaster will follow, so stay tuned.
