TOKYO – August 24, 2024 — Touhou Genso Wanderer -FORESIGHT-, the turn-based RPG Touhou Project fan game from publisher Phoenixx and developer AQUASTYLE, descends into dungeon depths on PlayStation 4 and Nintendo Switch™ on Wednesday, September 18th (Thursday, September 19th in Japan).
A new threat looms over the fantastical realm of humans and yokai known as Gensokyo. After waking up at Hakurei Shrine with no memory, Reimu Hakurei needs to retrace her past to uncover the truth behind why she fell in battle. Dive into dungeons with the help of beloved human magician Marisa Kirisame to discover the truth behind Reimu’s memory loss.
Meet with a surprising new heroine after restoring the pond in the Hakurei Shrine. Help her by further reconstructing the shrine to access additional stories and events. This new release adds a whole new dangerous dungeon filled with unexpected twists.
Gather newly introduced boss spell cards and harness their powerful effects. Cast spell cards for eye-catching animations and unleash the abilities of Touhou characters from previous entries in the Touhou Genso Wanderer series. Dress up Reimu with the Winter Costume and Shrine Maiden Costume available for both PlayStation 4 and Nintendo Switch versions upon release.
Call upon the help of more than 60 familiar Touhou characters, maximizing the power of their iconic spells and abilities. Upgrade each character’s personal skill trees to increase the odds of survival against fearsome foes. Utilize useful consumables inside roguelike dungeons, lighting up the entire dungeon floor or dealing huge damage to nearby enemies.
Master multiple methods of combat, from melee strikes to long-range danmaku (bullet) attacks. Plunder advanced weapons and armor hidden in dungeons to grow ever stronger. Feed Reimu rice balls to maintain her stamina and avoid damage over time from her starving stomach. Spend the funds collected across adventures to restore the Shrine back to its former glory.
“Touhou Genso Wanderer -FORESIGHT- keeps the spirit of the beloved Touhou Genso Wanderer titles, and community feedback has helped enhance the journey since the PC launch,” said JYUNYA, head of AQUASTYLE. “We hope fans of the Touhou series and dungeon crawlers enjoy Reimu’s adventures on PlayStation 4 and Nintendo Switch.”
Touhou Genso Wanderer -FORESIGHT- will be available on PlayStation 4 and Nintendo Switch on Wednesday, September 18th (Thursday, September 19th in Japan) for $37.99.
