![]() While this is a roguelike first and foremost, there are a lot of visual novel sections. This is very handy if you’re running out of inventory space. It lets you supercharge your equipment with items or mix multiple items to create better items. Fusion is super useful and something that you unlock early on. Instead of pressing a button to pause the game and then going through menus, you hold triangle and press a direction on the d pad to go to either equipment, items, or even fusion. I like the implementation of the menu for items and equipment. Items and equipment are aplenty in dungeons and you’re encouraged to pickup everything because you never know when a spot of green tea will help you out. Movement is tile based and there are a few button combinations to learn so you don’t make the wrong move and end up surrounded by enemies. ![]() Each step you take has enemies in the room making a move close to you or basically just going on their own business. In fact, survival will be difficult if you don’t use your items to restore health and fill up your “tummy”. Unlike normal JRPGs where you (well I do for sure) end up hoarding potions and elixirs until the end, you’re encouraged to use them here. Genso Wanderer plays like a traditional roguelike with the addition of Danmaku or Bullet Hell elements. There’s tons of things to keep in mind while playing a roguelike, but everything is introduced and explained really well in the tutorial section. Along your journey you meet a sage in training Futo who is an invaluable asset early on and you slowly run into more Touhou girls in your journey up the tower. Reimu is the shrine maiden in Hakurei Shrine and you have to bring peace back to the land. She is visiting Rinnosuke at his shop, but things take a turn for the worse when the shop is replaced by a massive tower and the world of Gensokyo is now full of clones who attack. When NIS America announced that they were localizing Touhou games, I was hoping to see Gensokyo get announced and having played it, I’m glad they took a chance on it because not only is this a very competent roguelike, it is also very accessible to newcomers of the genre. Released in Japan as Mystery Gensokyo: The Tower of Desire, Touhou Genso Wanderer is a roguelike that plays similar to games like Shiren. NISA’s second Touhou localization effort comes in the form of Touhou Genso Wanderer. It has been a while since I reviewed Touhou Genso Rondo Bullet Ballet for PlayStation 4.
