Legendary Bullet Hell Returns
Publisher Alliance Arts and development studio Shanghai Alice Reprise have officially released Touhou Koumakyou: New Classic - the Embodiment of Scarlet Devil on Nintendo Switch and Switch 2. This is a full re-release of the cult 2002 Japanese scrolling shooter, created under the supervision of franchise creator ZUN.
The original hardcore bullet hell formula has been preserved in its pristine form, while receiving significant visual and technical improvements: higher resolution, new soundtrack arrangements by the creator himself, and special quality-of-life features.
Features and New Content
- Two Heroines: Choose shrine maiden Reimu Hakurei for maneuverability and wide attack range, or magician Marisa Kirisame for devastating firepower.
- Accessibility: The ability to complete the story campaign with infinite lives.
- New Spell Practice Mode: Practice dodging the most difficult patterns and hone your spell card usage before real boss battles.
- Six Action-Packed Stages: Fight your way through hordes of fairies, youkai, and vampires to uncover the origin of the mysterious scarlet mist in Gensokyo.
In addition to the standard edition, players can get the Deluxe Edition, which includes a complete soundtrack featuring over 30 tracks — including the classic 2002 recordings alongside their modern variations.
