Set in the secluded realm of Gensokyo, Touhou: Spell Carnival draws shrine maiden Reimu Hakurei and fellow youkai into a mysterious festival hosted by Yukari Yakumo. Participants compete in grid-based, real-time strategy “Spell Carnivals,” blending RPG progression with classic bullet-hell action to collect Spell Cards and uncover the secret behind the towering pillars that have sprung up across the land.
— “Touhou Spell Carnival’s fusion of grid-based tactics and bullet-hell mayhem is a bold experiment that mostly succeeds—though it can feel overwhelming when every corner of the screen is alive with projectiles.”
— Noisy Pixel
— “A treat for series veterans: deep RPG mechanics complement the frantic dodge-and-shoot gameplay perfectly, even if the learning curve spikes sharply in later stages.”
— The Outer Haven
— “Rectify Gaming nailed it: the game strikes a surprisingly fine balance between strategic planning and bullet-hell chaos, making it a strong recommendation for fans of both genres.”
