PRESS RELEASE
PLAYISM (https://playism.com/ja/) the publishing arm of Active Gaming Media (CEO: Ibai Ameztoy Head Office: Osaka, Nishi-ku http://www.activegamingmedia.
Gensokyo Night Festival is a Touhou Project spin off game developed by solo indie game developer tea_basira.
The initial tweet announcing the game was in development was retweeted over 3000 times and received over 5000 likes and when exhibited for the first time in August at a Touhou only event in Shanghai it garnered further attention from around the globe. In September the game was exhibited once again with long lines forming for a chance to demo the game and was also nominated for the Dengeki Online Indie Game award.
The protagonist is popular Touhou Project character Suika Ibuki. It has been some time since the last Hakurei Shrine Festival and Suika decides that it is the perfect time for her to have a little rampage around Gensokyo. This work is the first game made by developer tea_basira and in a bid to receive feedback from users around the world to improve the game, it will go into early access this month. The early access version will constitute approximately 15% of the content of the 1.0 release and development will continue towards full release in stages while taking user feedback into account.
Unbridled, satisfying combo action
Although she may appear cute, Suika is a demon and therefore extremely powerful. Use her abilities to unleash devastating physical attacks, ranged attacks and counters and string them together in satisfying combos. Also Suika has the ability to control density, using her Density charge and Sparsity charge you can add effects to her combos to make them even more devastating. If you get the hang of her combos it is even possible to deliver over 100 hit combos. Furthermore, this game has the Touhou Project games classic game mechanic of Graze dodging. Using this you can dash through enemy attacks and execute counters by circling around behind them or avoid otherwise unavoidable attacks.
A gorgeous world, painstakingly created by one developer over 4 years.
The developer spent a long time creating the world of Gensokyo Night Festival and it shows. The scenery and the pixel animations are beautiful throughout. The visual effects are also stunning, especially during boss battles where all of the attacks going on appear reminiscent of a fireworks display. The beautiful maps and effects promote world exploration, where new areas reward players with new sights, sounds and enemies.
