About this game
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The enchanting world of the Touhou Project comes alive in this beautiful fan-made action RPG!
Key Features
Select Either of Two Playable Characters for Twice the AdventureChoose to play as the titular vampire, Remilia Scarlet, or her devoted maid, Sakuya Izayoi. Each offers a different gameplay style with unique mechanics: Remilia’s attacks hit hard, while Sakuya’s are more technical.
Use Five Buttons to Carve Out Countless Swaths of Destruction
The game’s controls are simple, fun, and endlessly customizable: you’ll learn a variety of skills as you level up, which you can assign to the game’s action buttons however you’d like.
Build Hit Combos for Greater Success in Battle
The more you’re able to hit enemies in rapid succession, the higher your attack power will be, and the more experience you’ll receive per kill. The effect will wear off over time, however, or when you’re struck by a foe – whichever comes first!
Collect New Equipment to Become a True Powerhouse
Each new piece of equipment you find has its own stats, to the point that even two items with the same name may sport notable variances. So collect all the equipment you can, and try to max out your arsenal! There may even be rare equipment out there that allows you to utilize entirely new skills…
Get In the Zone With Arranged BGM from Acclaimed Doujin Circle Hachimitsu-Lemon
Let a total of 35 background music tracks masterfully arranged from previous Touhou titles wash over you as you experience the breakneck action!
