Touhou Project #12 Announced
Xelotath \| 6:33 PM on 02.25.2009	8 comments

Touhou Project #12 was announced today. Title is 'Undefined Fantastic Object' (yes, UFO), the game will be a standard bullet hell shmup like most Touhou games before it.

So far, three character are confirmed, Reimu, Marisa and newcomer Sanae, who was a boss character in both MoF and SA. The is nice since the last two game only feature two characters, I hope more will be included.

From what we know at the moment it seems that the bomb system will return to how it was before MoF and SA. However, the power system still remains the same.Sadly, it's hard to notice more details with those tiny screenshots.

The demo will be released at Reitaisai 6, a Touhou convention in japan. It's almost as big as Comiket, this shows how much popular Touhou Project is there. The actual release date of the game is unknown, we only know it's summer.

For more info on touhou in general:

I'll leave you with Reimu armpit and a video of SA's extra stage.

AWESOME! I hope it's better that Phantasmagoria OFW, my favorite TP game. Best Schump Multiplayer EVER

Yeah PoFV is pretty good too, but I never played it multiplayer, I would own all my friends anyway. Still, I prefer the standard 1 player shmup.

Holy shit that game looks mega hard. It kind of looks like a dance to me.

@garison: That's the extra stage boss, one of the hardest thing in the game. The normal stages on easy are not that hard.

Awesome news! I look forward to this. Even though I am pretty bad at the series, I love it to death.

yay, other touhou fans

i only play the standard bullet hell shoot em ups, my favourites so far is The Embodiment of Scarlet Devil, Perfect Cherry Blossom and Imperishable Night (6, 7 & 8)

i also have Mountain of Faith and Subterranean Animism but i can't remember them atm, got to play them when i get home today :D

As for this new game, it looks like it will be just as good as the other entries in the series. I just wish Zun would bring back Sakuya as a playable character though :/

My favourite person in all of touhou is Hong Meiling(China) and she also has the coolest spellcards:
