USERJOY Technology launched Genseiroku Remake on September 10 for PC via Steam, with Japanese display and subtitles supported. Combat runs on a grid-based field with a turn-based system, and players pick from four difficulty levels: EASY, NORMAL, HARD, and NIGHTMARE. Battles include a rewind and redo function and a system that grants high-multiplier experience for defeating enemies in succession.
The remake adds renewed character portraits, battlefields, and battle effects, plus conversations and story depictions that were not in the 1998 release. Player choices change relationships with companions and the course of events, branching into multiple endings, with a hidden ending added. The original Genseiroku is included and can be launched from the remake.
