Raji: An Ancient Epic, which surprise-launched on Switch back in August following an Indie World Showcase presentation, has just been updated on Nintendo's platform.
The patch fixes a "large number of issues" that were reported to the development team through player feedback, hoping to add new optimisation fixes designed to improve players' experience with the game.
"Thank you to everyone who sent us their feedback," the team writes. "The constant stream of information was invaluable to us as we worked to make the Switch version as good as possible."

Woah that was quite a biggish update. That arguably helps deal with two out of the three negative points in the NL 7/10 revw.
Personally found it ok and got used to the quirks but haven't completed it as of yet. May go back into it now.
Considering I am of SE Asian origin, I found the gaming twist on it all very interesting and cool.
Lots of games getting updates at the moment! I noticed that Ori and the Will of the Wisps also received an update a couple days ago. Though I’m not sure what it actually entailed.
@The_Pixel_King Possibly simply to insert some code so that the save files can be used with the physical release coming soon. they may have fixed some bits here and there as well in preparation for the new release.
The game already played well so I can't imagine there would be much to fix.
I think I’ll add this to my wish list for whenever there’s a discount.
I liked it. It was a competent action platformer. Definitely a bit floaty in the controls, but the story and mythos of India was SUPER cool to follow, and the weapons and movesets you gain as the game gets further along really diversify the action.
Definitely a worth a playthrough if you can find it for a few bucks off.
Still waiting for a Physical release option. Like that it's a game based on another ethnic region mythology gameplay and not solely a english mythology only game platform.
Nice, now I'll consider getting it.
I’ll get the physical version which will obviously gets announced soon, right? ... right?
NICE! I thought this game needed a bit more polished but it felt a gem underneath. Love the cool Indian mythology stuff and the fact it had such extensive voice acting. So impressive for independent titles that don't normally use it.

@The_Pixel_King Fixed mostly crash issues. Haven't played much since the patch since I already finished it.
Go on sale quickly so I could try it out.
