Buy Touhou: Blossom Blade PC key

Touhou: Blossom Blade is a remaster of the stage-based 3D bullet hell action game starring Konpaku Youmu. You use her skills and swordsmanship to clear stages, defeat bosses and face the dangers of Gensokyo.

Story

Youmu serves Saigyouji Yuyuko, mistress of Hakugyokurou, as her gardener, security and swordsmanship instructor. When Youmu scolds Yuyuko for neglecting her training, Yuyuko says that Youmu lacks the skill to train and challenges her to prove herself by defeating Hakurei Reimu, the shrine maiden who has resolved Gensokyo’s incidents time and again. Though unhappy with the challenge and aware of her inexperience, Youmu accepts and sets off for Gensokyo to face Reimu and prove her abilities to Yuyuko.

Skills and combat

Youmu has three skills, each suited to a different purpose: movement, area damage or ranged attacks. She also has a high-damage Spell Card. Use the skills to clear stages and defeat bosses; for example, her dash can extend a jump and deal damage, while her ranged skill can reach enemies on the other side of gaps.

Keeping hits on enemies raises your combo counter, which increases your score and skill recharge rate. The faster recharge lets you use skills more often. You can choose Easy, Normal or Hard difficulty.

Music and Steam changes

The game features Touhou arrangements by Shoichiro Sakamoto, also known as Sound Sepher. In this version, each of Youmu’s three skills has its own button rather than requiring you to toggle between them during combat. Other changes include Steam Achievements, balance changes, more breakable objects, HUD additions, no fall penalty and graphics optimized for modern hardware.
