What it is
Touhou Kouryuudou ~ Unconnected Marketeers is a single-player bullet-hell shooter from Team Shanghai Alice. Players dodge colorful patterns of enemy fire and defeat opponents, relying on technique and memory during short, intense encounters. A key part of the premise is the appearance of strange ability cards, which can be equipped for their varied effects. Their origins and the reasons they are being traded are unclear, prompting the shrine maiden to investigate. The game features four playable characters described in the supplied material: Reimu, Marisa, Sakuya and Sanae, each with a different reason to pursue the cards. It is listed for Windows and includes Steam Cloud, Family Sharing and partial controller support. The Steam genre labels are Action and Indie, alongside its bullet-hell classification.
