Homebrew port of Arx Fatalis for the Switch.
Arx Libertatis is an improved, cross-platform and open source engine for Arx Fatalis, a 2002 first-person role-playing game/dungeon crawler/immersive sim developed by Arkane Studios.
Installation
Unzip the zip file from the latest release into the switch
folder on your SD card.
Then copy the required data files into /switch/arx/data/
.
If you have the Steam version it's enough to copy graph
folder, misc
folder, data.pak
, data2.pak
, loc.pak
, sfx.pak
, speech.pak
.
The demo version should also work. Check the link above for what files you need to copy.
Run Arx only through Title Override or 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
/switch/arx/arx.log
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.
