Legend of Scarlet Devil Castle is a Castlevania-esque game featuring Reimu Hakurei as its main character. This is a game featuring characters from the Touhou Project (a series of indie vertical scrolling shooting games). Despite being a Japanese indie game, it actually comes with English and French language options, which is pretty nice, although the translation is... lacking. It’s often referred to as “Touhouvania” in the western fandom. Gensokyo faces sudden disturbance as Scarlet Mist spreads once again. To Reimu Hakurei, this peculiar phenomenon resembled something familiar. 'Is this that vampire's doing?', she thought to herself. There was only one choice: head to the Scarlet Devil Mansion, and find out the true cause of the disturbance. But this time, the way to the mansion was a little different from usual. Colorful dialogues between Touhou characters - The player becomes Reimu Hakurei and sets out to find the true cause of the Scarlet Mist. On the way to the Scarlet Devil Mansion, they will interact with various Touhou characters in a number of intense danmaku (bullet hell) battles. Reimu's Weapons - The player will fight their way to the cause of the disturbance using the right weapons in the right situations. Reimu has "Purification Wand" for close combat, and "Ofuda" for attacking flying enemies. She herself can fly, too. Marisa Kirisame and Cirno join Reimu in her adventure, supporting her with their own partner attacks. The player can summon them at the cost of Souls. To lead the battle to victory, they need to decide carefully when to call for the partner's help. Playing as Reimu Hakurei, the player will encounter and fight Touhou characters such as Hong Meiling, Sakuya Izayoi, and Alice Margatroid. The residents of the Scarlet Devil Mansion will corner the player with fierce patterns. And behind all of them stands the vampire Reimu is looking for. Suika Ibuki, the "oni" that loves party and drinking, waits for Reimu in the Scarlet Devil Castle. In 2022, an enhanced version was released with: HD remastered graphics; multi-6 languages; full Japanese voice acting; Suika Ibuki joins Reimu as her third partner - Use her unique partner skill to attack enemies at the cost of Souls; Extra easy mode for gamers not familiar with action and shooting games; bonus elements including in-game challenges, BGM collections, and galleries. | ||
