Akatori Patch 1.0.02 Adds Difficulty Settings and Dialogue Skipping

Akatori patch 1.0.02 introduces in-game difficulty adjustments, dialogue skipping, and a 50% spike damage reduction in Story mode. The update also adds automatic game pausing on app minimization and fixes numerous boss and map bugs.

Akatori receives its 1.0.02 update, targeting player feedback with new quality-of-life additions like mid-game difficulty options and cutscene skipping. The patch also tackles widescreen resolution bugs and collision issues across multiple bosses.

Quality of Life and Accessibility

Players can now change the game difficulty directly through the settings menu during gameplay. Cutscene dialogues are now fully skippable. Story mode has been made more forgiving with a 50% reduction in spike damage. The game will now automatically pause if the application is minimized or a gamepad is disconnected.

Visual and Audio Additions

The Wasp mini-boss camera has been adjusted for better visibility. Mako now produces breath vapor in snow environments and portal levels. Amber Forest levels received art optimization, and new audio cues were added for iron door openings and the Amber Castle riding platform lever.

Boss and Movement Bug Fixes

Numerous collision and camera bugs have been squashed. Pulling the staff back while swinging on a bamboo from the right no longer leaves the camera permanently zoomed out. Aerial shockwaves on sloped terrain now align correctly instead of traveling completely horizontally. Elevator doors in Amber Castle will no longer stay open if you jump with a double jump while descending.

Interface and Display Fixes

Widescreen monitor resolution settings are now corrected. The Return to Main Menu button no longer disappears on the death screen when the game is minimized on One Chance difficulty. Bolded Simplified and Traditional Chinese text is now fully readable, replacing previous unreadable text errors.

Why this patch matters

Patch 1.0.02 delivers crucial accessibility tools and smooths out rough edges on boss arenas and platforming interactions.
