The 1.2.0 update arrived for Circus Electrique, and here’s the complete list of changes and fixes added with this patch. Zen Studios released the RPG title last month, and it sounds like it received pretty cool feedback from the players. Since the game is new, it has some issues. However, the developer wants to solve all of them as soon as possible. That’s why the latest version is out of the pipeline, which brings new features, fixes, improvements, and more. Here’s everything new with the Circus Electrique 1.2.0 update.
Circus Electrique 1.2.0 Update Patch Notes
New Features
- Trade Resources functionality added
- Schillings can be traded for the following resources: Food, Tools, Substance
- Feature unlocks after the completion of the second district
- Screen Shake toggle added to Settings Menu
- Camera shake effects can be turned off in battles
- Craft button “Hold to craft” warning
- A warning pops up when the player clicks the “Craft” button in the Artisan building instead of holding it.
Improvements
- Autosave before battles
- Instead of auto-saving after starting a battle, auto-saves will now take place before the battle, giving a chance for the player to modify the battle team if anything goes wrong.

- The super skill activation animation is now more pronounced, and animation to the Amazemeter at the beginning of battles when super skills are available was added.
- District reset available from District 2
- Multiple Time Capsule items can be looted before they would be available for crafting.
- Boss no-flee status icon
- Bosses now have a special status effect explaining that they won’t flee from battle.
- Minor performance optimization

Circus Electrique 1.2.0 Update – Balance
- Difficulty spikes were removed from all Districts
- We have identified and re-balanced some battles causing trouble for many players, mostly in the 4th, 5th, and 6th Districts.
- Boss difficulty re-balance
- Reduced boss difficulty in District 1, District 2, and District 4 based on player feedback

- We have made it easier to get stars on some Circus Show blueprints
- Recruitable characters can have higher Devotion
- We have made the random devotion range wider for random characters in the train, pushing out the upper limit.
- Random characters have a higher chance of having a random passive ability
- More recruitable characters in the train will possess a random ability
General
- Damage bonus now scales properly with the Devotion in all cases
- Minor-level graphics fixes
- Fixed an animation issue that could appear in the final boss fight if the boss used the ‘Kick’ skill
- Fixed an issue on PC where the controller navigation could get stuck if the player changed the video settings to windowed mode. This issue could appear mostly with 21:9 monitors, which have the 2560×1080 native resolution.
- Fixed an issue on PC where the cursor graphics did not change to their in-game versions automatically
- Fixed a rare crash related to winning the battle with the strongman’s ‘Spinebreaker’ skill
- Fixed the combat level being visible for a few frames at the end of the District 4 boss fight
- Unspent circus act points are now displayed correctly in all cases on the Circus Act upgrade UI
- Fixed an issue in the first tutorial fight if players kept trying to activate skills while the 3rd turn was started. Doing so caused the gameplay to get stuck.
- From now on, disappearing subtitles do not remove selections from enemies and certain UI elements.
- Fixed an issue that could occur if players crafted a club membership card right after a boss fight. Doing so led the navigation to get stuck on the city map.
- Mystery nodes are now unable to kill members of the exploration team due to HP loss. The current HP for these characters will turn to 1 instead.
- If players are unable to start a King of the District fight because they do not have a gold bar, the appearing craft window now gives an explanation as well.
- Correct devotion costs for some of the skills of the unique Fireblowers
