Touhou: New World review – Simplicity personified

80%Touhou: New World | UNITING PLAYER VOICES
Touhou: New World has its moments of charm, with its beautifully crafted Gensokyo setting and the promise of blending bullet hell and action RPG elements. However, the execution leaves much to be desired. The two genres often feel at odds with each other, resulting in a disjointed and occasionally frustrating gameplay experience. While fans of the Touhou Project may find some enjoyment in revisiting Gensokyo, those looking for a seamless blend of bullet hell and action RPG may be left wanting more.
55%Touhou: New World Is a Disappointing Blend of Genres
Get ready to dodge bullets and fight for your life in Touhou: New World, another exciting fan-made adventure in the ever-evolving “Touhou Project” universe from Ankake Spa, the creators of 2016’s Touhou: Scarlet Curiosity. Melding action-RPG elements and “bullet-hell” combat, Touhou: New World puts you in the shoes of two playable protagonists, shrine maiden Reimu and magician Marisa, as they explore the game’s fantastical worlds and battle against a menagerie of mystical creatures. Make use of customizable skills that suit your style while collecting items to power up each character, and aid the residents of Gensokyo in side quests to gain even more advantages in the battle to restore peace to the world. Nintendo Switch version reviewed.Players who enjoyed Scarlet Curiosity might find something to love here. However, the challenge isn’t there to recommend it for fans of Touhou’s difficulty and it’s so under-designed as an action RPG that I can’t recommend it to fans of the genre either.
