NIS America announced on Wednesday that it will release the roguelike role-playing game Touhou Genso Wanderer (Fushigi no Gensōkyō -The Tower of Desire-) in North America and Europe in early 2017. The game will be available both physically and digitally on PlayStation 4 and PlayStation Vita.
NIS America describes the story:
One day, Reimu Hakurei is visiting Rinnosuke Morichika at his shop, Kourindo. He shows her one of his prized possessions, the golden sphere. However, when she touches it, it unleashes a mysterious beam of light. Rinnosuke starts acting strange, and a giant tower now stands where Kourindo used to be. The population of Gensokyo has also been replicated by clones who attack people on sight.
As the Hakurei Shrine Maiden, it is Reimu’s duty to resolve this latest incident and bring peace back to Gensokyo. Along the way, she is joined by Futo Mononobe, who has recently set out on a quest to become a first class sage. With her partner in tow, can Reimu make her way through the dungeons of the tower and put an end to this incident?
Aqua Style’s 2009 RPG debuted for PlayStation Vita in Japan last June. The game is part of “Play, Doujin,” an initiative to bring dōjin games (such as fan-made Touhou Project titles) to PlayStation platforms.
NIS America will also release physical and digital versions of CUBETYPE’s Touhou Genso Rondo: Bullet Ballet shoot’em up fighter game for the PlayStation 4 in North America and Europe this September. XSEED Games will release Ankake Supa’s Touhou: Scarlet Curiosity role-playing game for PlayStation 4 this fall.
