What it is
Touhou Kishinjou ~ Double Dealing Character is a single-player bullet-hell shooter by Team Shanghai Alice. Players move through stages, dodge enemy projectiles and defeat each stage’s boss. The game’s story follows Reimu as disturbances spread and youkai begin causing trouble, while her shrine-maiden weapon has become a tsukumogami. Controls include movement, shooting, spell cards, slow movement and pausing. Spell cards have limited uses, and the game tracks remaining lives, shot power, score and grazing. Players can collect items to increase shot power or score; gathering items high on the screen can add bonuses and help produce life or spell-card fragments. The three playable characters have small differences in their abilities. Steam lists single-player, Steam Cloud and Family Sharing. The listed platform is Windows. Its Steam release date is June 18, 2019.
