A suggestion: Classic mode

[Kui the Kui]

Loving the release sofar, but I've noticed that the town building segment is much, much, much slower to progress through, especially with the horde defenses.

If the devs are possibly looking in the discussions, perhaps they've considered a "classic" mode as such for those lacking the time for prolonged sittings?

The original Actraiser could swiftly progress from Act segment to Act segment due to the nature of their townbuilding being rather basic in comparison to rennaissance. Perhaps a classic mode as an added extra would be worthwhile?

There is an action mode after the game is finished. This is not, however the original game, so...there's more to it.

I do wish that the game was a bit less scripted, yeah.

In the original, you could and indeed kind of HAD to bum rush your way to each Monster Lair to get some breathing room. In the remake you have to wait until the game lets you destroy them. :s

Ooh, that's something I'll have to try out then! Not reached the end thus far since it's quite a bit longer than the original

Maybe a dlc where players can buy the original game?

It's not really the same thing thing as professional mode in the original game, which removes all magic usage and fixes your stats to a specific point.

Special mode is more like an individual 'score attack' mode per stage, with your stats and such scaling based off of the progress of the save file you used. The lack of ability to select divine difficulty outside of special mode after beating the game is a slight sour point too.
