The 12.3th installment of the Touhou Project is a sequel to Scarlet Weather Rhapsody with five new characters and three story modes, and which can also be linked to its predecessor to act as an expansion pack. Its events occur after those in Undefined Fantastic Object; it was developed and released alongside that game. It's the third fighting game in the Touhou Project and like its predecessors, Immaterial and Missing Power and Scarlet Weather Rhapsody, Touhou Hisoutensoku is a collaboration between ZUN and Twilight Frontier. It introduces four new characters in the game. All four of them have previous appearances in earlier danmaku games. Hong Meiling reappears in a fighting game because she first appeared in Immaterial and Missing Power, but had no appearance in Scarlet Weather Rhapsody. It retains the same spell cards, spirit orbs, and weather present in Scarlet Weather Rhapsody, but also introduces new playable characters, spell cards, and weathers. Many existing spell cards, weathers and graphics from Scarlet Weather Rhapsody have been altered and in addition to the new characters, existing characters all have new spell cards. Additionally, each playable character now has a system card (e.g. healing, weather change, bombs, etc.) associated with her that's usable by any character once unlocked. |
