Key points
- Port of the Android/iOS version.
- Prerendered backgrounds are extremely low-resolution; fan-patches are available which replace them with upscaled versions.
- The UI was originally unchanged from Android/iOS version, but could be modified.
An update in August 2020 made the UI smaller so it now resembles the patched console versions. - 16 direction analogue movement is not supported, but can be fixed.
- Features higher-definition (1280x960) CG cutscenes, and improved character models.
- Includes achievements, auto-save, and various boosters such as high-speed mode for battles.
- Music looping issue still present in Microsoft Store version.[citation needed]
