Touhou girls fight dramatic battles in the sky! A 3D fired-up battle action game based on Touhou Project! Features a "Fired-up Battle System", in which characters abilities change to the playing song.
The game's key gameplay feature is the "Fired-up Battle System," which directly ties each character's abilities to the background music. As the music progresses through different sections, the characters' parameters and available special moves change accordingly. This creates a dynamic and adaptable combat experience, requiring players to constantly adjust their strategies based on the current "Fired-up Mode." The ability to customize the "Fired-up Mode" data further enhances the depth of this system, allowing players to tailor the character abilities to their preferred playstyle.
In addition to the unique "Fired-up Battle System," the game features a bullet management mechanic. Players have a limited number of shots and spell card uses, forcing them to carefully consider when to employ their powerful attacks. This introduces an element of resource management and strategic decision-making, as players must balance offense and defense based on the current situation.
The game boasts a roster of 23 playable characters, each with their own distinct sets of moves and playstyles. The "Reigyoku System" allows players to further customize their characters by equipping various Reigyoku items, which can enhance their attack, speed, or defense capabilities. This level of character customization caters to a wide range of player preferences and encourages experimentation with different strategies.
The game offers a substantial amount of single-player content, including an Arcade mode and a "Sky Adventure" mode. The AI opponents in these modes are described as genuinely challenging, providing a satisfying test of the player's skills. Additionally, the various single-player activities serve as a means to unlock new Reigyoku items and customization options, further enhancing the overall gameplay experience.
The game supports both local and online multiplayer, allowing players to compete against each other. The online mode includes a Rank Match system, where players can battle and affect their overall ranking. While some players have reported issues with the online netcode, the game's overall multiplayer experience is praised for its ability to facilitate enjoyable battles between players.
