Homebrew port of [https://arx-libertatis.org/ Arx Fatalis] for the Switch. | |||
Arx Libertatis is an improved, cross-platform and open source engine for [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arx_Fatalis Arx Fatalis], a 2002 first-person role-playing game/dungeon crawler/immersive sim developed by Arkane Studios. | |||
==Installation== | |||
Unzip the zip file from the [https://github.com/fgsfdsfgs/ArxLibertatis/releases latest release] into the <code>switch</code> folder on your SD card. | |||
Then copy the [https://wiki.arx-libertatis.org/Required_data_files_and_checksums required data files] into <code>/switch/arx/data/</code>. | |||
If you have the Steam version it's enough to copy <code>graph</code> folder, <code>misc</code> folder, <code>data.pak</code>, <code>data2.pak</code>, <code>loc.pak</code>, <code>sfx.pak</code>, <code>speech.pak</code>. | |||
The demo version should also work. Check the link above for what files you need to copy. | |||
Run Arx only through Title Override or [[Homebrew Menu Loader Switch|NSP hbmenu]]. Do not run it in Applet mode, there won't be enough memory. | |||
==User guide== | |||
===Some notes=== | |||
*The Switch port preloads all the .pak file contents on startup to reduce stutter, so startup might take a while. | |||
*You can rebind the controls in the Options menu. | |||
*There's a separate Switch settings menu for configuring the gyro aiming. | |||
*It's really tricky to actually draw the runes with the gyro or the stick, so this port will take some fine tuning until it's enjoyable in docked mode. | |||
*If the game crashes, check <code>/switch/arx/arx.log</code> for possible causes. | |||
==Controls== | |||
Stick Button - Stealth mode | |||
L/R (Hold) - Spellcasting mode | |||
ZL - Right click (open inventory/cursor mode) | |||
ZR - Left click (attack/interact) | |||
X - Draw weapon | |||
Y - Jump | |||
B - Activate | |||
You can use the touchscreen, the right stick or the gyro (only when docked or playing with detached joycons) to move the cursor while in spellcasting mode. | |||
When using the stick or the gyro hold ZR to draw lines. | |||
