Yup, that’s right, if you pre-order the game to make sure you get the launch day edition for PS4, not only will you be getting Touhou Genso Wanderer, but you’ll also get Touhou Double Focus, a reversible cover, and a mini-art book!

Okay, now let me back up a second. For the uninitiated, a deep dive into the world of Touhou is a wild and crazy ride that could take you weeks to emerge from, but you can get a quick primer in the last Touhou game we released,

If you’re anything like me, I’m sure you’re licking your lips at the thought of challenging random dungeons, enemies, and traps in search of the best loot in Gensokyo. You’ll want to temper that enthusiasm with a touch of patience and strategy though, because despite its charming outer skin and fun story, Touhou Genso Wanderer is a roguelike worthy of the name.

While setting out into randomly generated dungeons on your quest to resolve the latest incident in Gensokyo, you’ll need to take care—dying in the dungeon will result in not only the shame of death, but also the loss of all the items you’re carrying.

Of course, that’s not always a bad thing, as losing your favourite weapon could just make you experiment with one of the hundreds of other unique items in Gensokyo, or force you to spend a little time crafting a new favorite in the item fusion system.

The item fusion system lets you make use of the myriad items that you’ll pick up in your quests into the dungeons of Gensokyo, instead of just trashing them all. You’ll also be taking a pal into the dungeon for each adventure. With six partner characters to choose from, I’m sure you’ll be able to find a favourite no matter what your playstyle is!
