Now that summer’s rolled around, I can finally cross off some things that I haven’t been able to do during the semester. In March, Reitaisai 6 released the demo of the upcoming Touhou: Touhou Seirensen (translating to Star-Lotus Ship) ~ Undefined Fantastic Object. Hooray!
Here is the synopsis courtesy of Touhou Wikia:
There has been a rumor spreading throughout Gensokyo since the early spring about a flying treasure ship. Since it brings good omen, the heroines race to see who will be the first to board the ship. But from the sky, there’s a black, shadowy figure moving at a high speed chasing the girls…
Here are the playable characters:
Our beloved miko, Reimu Hakurei
Our favorite Master Spark-wielding witch, Marisa Kirisame
And last but not least, our wind priestess Sanae Kotiya
The demo contains the first three stages and introduce the following new characters:
Stage 1 – Mouse youkai / The Little Dowser General Nazrin (background music)
Stage 2 – Karakasa / The Cheery Forgotten Umbrella Tatara Kogasa (background music)
Stage 3 – Youkai & Nyudo / The Great Wheel that Guards and Is Guarded Ichirin Kumoi & Unzan (background music)
The newest edition to the game is the appearance of UFO power-ups. You can collect three in a row of red, blue, green, or other working combinations to summon a UFO that will help collect power-ups and give bonuses. The UFO power-ups are quite cute, too.
Here is some gameplay footage of Reimu in Lunatic from Moetron:
The full game doesn’t come out until August. Until then, I’ll live vicariously through this demo ;x
