About

The Super Robot Wars-inspired Touhou Project crossover Gensou Shoujo Wars first launched on PC in 2010 and is now releasing on Nintendo Switch in 2021. The game, fusion of bullet hell and strategy RPG, “depicts a Gensokyo epic of overwhelming scale, including the bonds between characters, and a thorough arrangement of character backgrounds and stories from their original works.” It features over 70 playable characters, as well as “impactful battle animations, dialogue scenes the fans want to see, cut-ins for every character, different theme songs for each character, and a variety of songs to match the scenario.”
