What it is
Touhou Kikeijuu ~ Wily Beast and Weakest Creature is a shooter in which players avoid enemy bullets and defeat foes, including a boss at the end of each stage. Developed by Team Shanghai Alice and released in 2019, it follows Reimu as she travels toward Hell with the help of an animal spirit. The story concerns animal spirits from Hell seeking to take control of Gensokyo, while Reimu's accompanying spirit asks her to help stop their attack. Players can move, shoot, use limited spell cards, slow their movement and pause. The animal spirit chosen affects attacks: wolf, otter and eagle spirits respectively strengthen attacks during slow movement, improve spell cards, or strengthen attacks during fast movement. Collecting five spirit items triggers Roaring Mode, which has several possible effects, including a spirit attack if the player is hit or uses a bomb. The game is single-player and lists Steam Cloud and Family Sharing. It is listed for Windows.
