Yesterday Playism has brought out Touhou 14 ~ Double Dealing Character (oddly enough, it's not
officially translated but there appears to be a patch for that already), fresh out of Playism's bakery is illuCalab's Takkoman -Kouzatsu World-. Since some of us already dabbed into the former already, let's get into the latter of the two recent offerings.
Looking for a fast-paced Mega Man Zero-styled action-platformer? Is Megamari not badass enough for you? Then this game might be the answer you've been looking for. Enter Takorin, a Flandre Scarlet yukkuri(?) from the Takorin tribe whom preserve chaos of Kouzatsukyo (or rather "order" in this game's world) and she makes it her business to kick, slash, shoot up other yukkuri-like abominations and sentient food items from breaching Gensokyo (or something of that nature). The game feels like a Devil May Cry version of Mega Man Zero with the hectic pace of the action and rewards you for doing well, and like Zero from Mega Man X/Zero you gain techniques from the bosses you defeat.
Touhou 14 ~ Double Dealing Character and
Takkoman -Kouzatsu World- can be yours for $14.99 and $9.99, respectively.
On the PlayStation side of things, Play, Doujin! will be bringing out souvenir circ.'s Maihana Soumakyou ~ Uniting Barrage Action (they also made Cröixleur Sigma) and CUBETYPE's Gensou no Rondo for the PlayStation 4, both boasting updated HD graphics and new features not seen in their original PC counterparts. Vita owners will be getting Mystery Gensokyo: The Tower of Desire with graphical and gameplay improvements. Not sure if Play, Doujin! are planning on bringing any of these games to West, though.
Maihana Soumakyou ~ Uniting Barrage Action is, more-or-less, a horizontal version of Embodiment of Scarlet Devil a lá Deathsmiles, although Sanae from Mountain of Faith makes an appearance in this one as a boss. The PS4 port will also feature a new playable character (it seems to be Alice judging by the comparison shot of the character select screen). Release date hasn't been announced yet.
Genso no Rondo is essentially a Touhou-fied version of G.rev's
unappreciated Senko no Ronde. It's a fighting game in which you fight your opponents in a circular arena by using various bullet attacks, special barrage attacks, and the occasional melee strikes. You can also draw out spell card to unleash devastating bullet hell patterns not unlike the B.O.S.S. Mode Senko no Ronde's Rounders. The PS4 version will feature rebalanced gameplay, new characters, new story scenarios, and online play through PlayStation Network; there will also be a PS4 theme to go with it. Oddly enough, according to the developers, G.rev will also be behind licensing the PS4 port. Will be released on June 25th, 2015.
Mystery Gensokyo: The Tower of Desire is a rogue-like from Aquastyle which features Reimu as the protagonist. You'll explore randomly-generated dungeons for loot, upgrade said loot, and kill stuff while avoid getting yourself killed, but there are times when the game will throw a curveball at you by giving you special rules and restrictions like "you can't use X item" or "you can only take X Character to tag along with you." The Vita version is based on the PC version's Mystery Gensokyo 3+, and will add new gameplay enhancements (new dungeons, partners, scenarios, et cetera) and features to accommodate portability. Additionally, PC players can import their save file into the Vita version so they can start a new game with the items they collected. Will also be out on June 25th, 2015, and will feature a Limited Edition version that comes with a Vita/smartphone stand, an artbook, a soundtrack/audio drama CD, and a Vita theme.
