Ankake Spa is releasing a remastered version of their 3D bullet hell game, originally known as Youyou Kengeki Musou. The new version, titled Touhou: Blossom Blade, will be available on PC through Steam, though a specific release date hasn’t been revealed yet.
Here is an overview of the game, via its Steam page:
About
The team behind the popular Touhou fan games Scarlet Curiosity and New World, Ankake Spa, has released an updated version of their very first game! It’s a fast-paced, 3D bullet hell shooter starring Konpaku Youmu, designed with easy-to-learn but rewarding controls.
Touhou: Blossom Blade was originally released as Youyou Kengeki Musou in Japan on December 30, 2011.
Story
Konpaku Youmu handles gardening, security, and swordsmanship training for Yuyuko Saigyouji, who runs the estate known as Hakugyokurou.
Youmu was reprimanding Yuyuko for not practicing, but Yuyuko retorted that Youmu’s own abilities weren’t good enough to even have a training session.
So, Yuyuko basically threw down the gauntlet. She wanted me to prove I was worthy by beating the shrine maiden – the one who’s always saved Gensokyo from trouble. It was a pretty big challenge, honestly!
She was to go and defeat Hakurei Reimu.
Youmu wasn’t pleased, but understanding she lacked experience, she agreed to her mistress’s terms and began her journey to Gensokyo.
Can she survive the challenges ahead, beat Reimu, and show Yuyuko what she’s capable of?
Gameplay
- Use Three Skills to Clear Stages and Beat Bosses! – Youmu has three skills that each have their own strong points – movement, area damage, and range, as well as high-damage Spell Card. They’ll come in handy when clearing stages if used well! For example, your dash skill can help extend your jump range as well as do damage, and your ranged skill can defeat troublesome foes waiting on the other side of gaps.
- Farm Combos to Turn the Tides – Continuing to hit enemies will raise your combo counter, granting bonuses to your score and skill recharge rate. The latter bonus lets you use your skills much more often, making battles much easier.
- Difficulty Options – Play on Easy, Hard, or Normal; whichever suits your skill level.
- Music – Touhou: Blossom Blade features Touhou arranges from Shoichiro Sakamoto, AKA Sound Sepher, to make stages feel even more alive.
What’s New to the Steam Version?
- Each Skill Has its Own Button!
- Previously, you toggle between between Youmu’s three skills as you fought, but the skill controls have been updated to be more intuitive.
- Other Changes
- Steam Achievements
- Balance changes
- More breakable objects
- HUD additions
- No more fall penalty
- Graphics optimized for modern hardware
