Touhou: The New World gets a launch trailer

Touhou: New World has been released worldwide for the Nintendo Switch. Earlier this year, it was announced that the game will launch sometime in the summer. Now it’s finally here! Touhou: The New World is also known as “Touhou Shinsekai” and is the latest installment in the Touhou series. Developer Ankake Spa’s game features a revamped and improved mix of fast-paced RPG gameplay and bullet combat from their previous game Touhou: Scarlet Curiosity.

The supernatural world of Gensokyo

As a player you will be taken back to the world of Gensokyo. In this supernatural world, humans and spirits, who are also called Youkai, live together. You might think this has to be pure anarchy, but nothing could be further from the truth. Gensokyo was a relatively quiet place until a mysterious barrier was breached by a stranger. The Outsider has a major obsession with the supernatural world and tries to create as much chaos as possible inside and outside Gensokyo.

You play as Shrine Maiden named Reimu, who, along with her magical friend Marisa, will try to discover the true source of all this chaos. Together with Marissa, you will try to restore peace inside and outside the supernatural world. You will have to defeat many mystical creatures to complete your goal.

Magic, battles and conquest

As Shrine Maiden, you can use different skills to defeat your enemies. Think: spell cards, powerful blows with exorcism sticks, slow attack techniques, and much more! In addition to fighting and wielding magic, it is of course also important that you help the friendly residents of Gensyoku find their lost souls. You will end up in strange areas, but of course that’s not a problem with all those magical skills.

The nice thing about this game is that you can fully customize Reimu and Marisa to your own playstyle. You can improve their skills and this will give you better stats to defeat your enemies. Upgrade your characters properly and go for victory! Can you create the perfect mix? Touhou: The new world is now available for Nintendo Switch.
