📋 About This Mod
The sound quality it's not the best since I don't know a way to extract files from HD1 so this is the best I could do, hope you like it.
I made 3 versions, one that replaces only the stratagem inputs, one that adds both the stratagem inputs and the beam sfx and one that replaces only the beam sfx
+added only beam replacement
Made this mod for a request: thanks TAACOM / Altruistic Azrael
