Touhou: Scarlet Curiosity is Available Now

It was announced today by XSEED Games, the independent-minded console publishing brand of Marvelous USA, Inc., that the bullet hell-inspired action RPG, Touhou: Scarlet Curiosity, is now available digitally in North America exclusively for the PlayStation 4 computer entertainment system from the PlayStation Store for $19.99. A brand new trailer has been released in celebration of today’s launch, showcasing the game’s fun and frenetic gameplay that aims to keep players on their toes,

Check out the launch trailer of Touhou: Scarlet Curiosity, showcasing the games’ features:

“Originating as a fan-made PC title set in the ever-evolving Touhou Projectuniverse, Touhou: Scarlet Curiosity trades in the series’ top-down “bullet hell” roots for action RPG approach, drawing inspiration from series such as Ys while still retaining a distinctly indie feel. The game instantly gained a following in Japan for its beautiful soundtrack, impressive art direction, and addictive high-speed action, and the official North American debut on PS4TM further refines the game with a full 1080p native resolution running at 60 frames-per-second.

Touhou: Scarlet Curiosity features a standalone story that draws upon the renowned franchise’s 20 years of lore to characterize its two playable protagonists, while providing an excellent jumping-in point for series newcomers looking for a fresh adventure. Players can take on one of two distinct roles – either the titular vampire Remilia Scarlet or her devoted maid, Sakuya Izayoi – as they explore a wide variety of environments, navigate tricky platforming, and battle intense boss characters, who fill the screen with complex waves of projectiles in a manner worthy of the renowned Touhou ‘king of bullet hell’ name.

Touhou: Scarlet Curiosity begins with the so-called “Scarlet Devil” Remilia Scarlet, who, at 500 years old, is desperately searching for something new to end the monotony of immortality. After stumbling upon a newspaper article about a powerful and mysterious monster terrorizing the countryside, she rushes out to see if this could finally be the excitement for which she yearns. Unfortunately, not only is she unsuccessful in her search for the monster, but she returns to find her manor in ruins. It would seem the monster has come to her! With a renewed sense of determination (and a much-needed respite from her boredom), she vows to take revenge on this fiend and make it pay!

Developed by Ankake Spa and published in North America by XSEED Games,Touhou: Scarlet Curiosity is now available digitally for PS4TM on the PlayStation®Store for $19.99.”
