Buy TouHou Nil Soul PC key

TouHou Nil Soul is a turn-based barrage game set during an incident at the Scarlet Devil Mansion. Vampire lord Reimilia Scarlet releases scarlet mist to block the sun, prompting Reimu and Marisa to confront her. This time, they fight using dummies called Nil Souls. The story is expected to take about 20 hours.

Turn-based barrage battles

After you act, barrages move along preset trajectories. You need to anticipate how the battlefield will change over several rounds and position your characters to avoid attacks. Barrages can be regular, random, tracking or blocking, while bosses’ skills can alter how they work. Rumia can hide some of her barrages, making you infer their paths, and Hon Meirin can knock characters back into barrages or the areas they surround.

You can cope with barrages by dodging, standing still or eliminating them. Some skills clear barrages from an area, while spell cards can damage bosses and clear a larger area at once. Supporting skills can also remove barrages, so using them alongside attacks is part of combat.

Skills and servants

The game has six skill types:

• Attack: deal instant damage without a cost and recover mana, but are limited by distance.
• Defensive skills: reduce damage from boss attacks.
• Barrage skills: used by bosses to fill the battlefield, surround your characters and attack them.
• Spell cards: deal high damage at high cost and can have additional effects.
• Summon skills: used by bosses to call servants that increase their damage.
• Supporting skills: help you respond to different situations and improve combat effectiveness.

Opponents can use skills randomly and actively each round, use active skills when conditions are met, or trigger passive skills when conditions are met. Player characters have four skill slots. Attacks have a range limit, skills use mana, and defense has no range limit. Some skills last for a set number of rounds or have a cooldown; passive skills can also have continuous effects without being triggered during battle.

Bosses can summon two to four servants. Each servant has its own action bar and patterns, including actions that interact with its master, so you must account for servants as separate opponents. Examples include Reimu’s red and white magatamas, Marisa’s Casket of Star and Patchouli’s Philosopher’s Stone.

Teams and equipment

You can field up to five characters, with more unlocked as you explore the story. Each character has a distinct role and traits, potential combat statistics, three or four innate skills, and slots for a weapon, armor and accessory. Characters can be configured between battles.

To obtain equipment, win a battle and collect dormant items at Kourindou, then infuse them with a Nil Soul to awaken them. Awakened items have random statistics, and different areas can drop different items at random. Each character has a personal weapon, while armor and accessories can be shared. Dormant items last only until you collect new ones after another battle, so any you have not awakened are replaced by the next batch.

Areas and story

The map runs from Hakurei Shrine to Scarlet Devil Mansion and includes landmarks corresponding to battlefields in official games. Defeating an area's boss unlocks the next area, and you can revisit areas to challenge them again and receive random items. Each area's story is triggered only the first time you enter it. Exploring the map also reveals a picture of part of Gensoukyo.

Reimu, Marisa and nine other characters from The Embodiment of Scarlet Devil appear in the game; the other characters unlock as you progress through the story. The two vampire bosses have special unlock conditions. The story includes humorous episodes that you can trigger as you wish, alongside the main storyline.

Music

The soundtrack uses remixes adapted from the original music, keeping them close to their source. It includes 23 songs.
