On October 2, Fictions released patch v1.1.00 for the ARPG *Beast of Reincarnation*, developed by Game Freak.
The previously announced high-difficulty mode and automatic item collection have been implemented.
This title is a new ARPG from Game Freak, known for the *Pokémon* series. Since its release, user reviews on Steam have been “mixed,” and improvements through patches have been ongoing.
In this v1.1.00 update, two new difficulty levels have been added: “VERY HARD,” which surpasses “HARD,” and “Merciless,” where Emma dies instantly from a single hit.
“HARD,” “VERY HARD,” and “Merciless” have also been added to the NEW GAME+ mode “REINCARNATION+,” while the previous REINCARNATION+ mode is now treated as equivalent to “NORMAL.” Players can switch between any of these difficulty levels at any time during gameplay.
Additionally, the attack patterns of the Anomalous Bosses have been revamped. Some attack patterns for Shido, a boss of the same type, have also been updated, and further updates are planned for future patches.
In terms of quality of life, a feature has been added to automatically collect items dropped by enemies and items found on the field; this can be toggled in the “Gameplay” section of the settings menu.
In addition, balance adjustments have been made, including tweaks to certain bosses and enemies whose difficulty had become too low, damage dealt by ranged weapons against bosses, and the attack power of certain sword techniques, secret techniques, and blooming techniques. In numerous event scenes, the timing between lines of dialogue and the pacing of cutscenes have also been revised.
Of the features announced prior to the previous patch release, the addition of a high-difficulty mode, automatic item pickup, revamped attack patterns for unique boss monsters, adjustments to dialogue pacing, and fixes to transparent “no-entry” detection have been implemented in this patch.On the other hand, the option to proceed further without clearing the three mid-game zones in sequence and adjustments to the drowning detection system were not mentioned in these patch notes.
