Touhou Koumakyou: New Classic - the Embodiment of Scarlet Devil is out now!
Today at last, Touhou Koumakyou: New Classic - the Embodiment of Scarlet Devil, developed by Shanghai Alice Reprise with ZUN at its center, has been released.
Touhou Koumakyou - the Embodiment of Scarlet Devil, originally distributed in 2002, has been rebuilt for the modern era under the direction of its original creator, ZUN.
View on Steam ↗This is a vertically scrolling 2D shoot 'em up in which you press forward while dodging gorgeous Danmaku. Take control of Reimu the shrine maiden or Marisa the magician and resolve the incident striking Gensoukyou. Weave your way onward through Danmaku dense enough to fill the entire screen.
On top of the higher resolution, the pixel art has been redrawn, and every single BGM track has been self-arranged by ZUN.
A new mode that lets you play with unlimited lives has also been added.
Buying the game gets you the Classic version — a recreation of the 2002 Touhou Koumakyou that is as faithful to the original as possible — for free. (The Classic version is available in Japanese only.)
The Deluxe Edition additionally comes with a soundtrack of over 30 tracks in total, bringing together the BGM featured in the 2002 Koumakyou and the new songs ZUN wrote for New Classic.
Open this on Sifter※ Both the Standard Edition and the Deluxe Edition are sold only as bundles. Please note that they cannot be purchased individually.
We hope you enjoy Touhou Koumakyou: New Classic - the Embodiment of Scarlet Devil.
