“The Touhou Empires” Preps for Tactical Warfare
Neetpia, the game developer, and publisher Phoenixx announce the real-time strategy game “The Touhou Empires” set in the Touhou universe, a community-driven realm with a dedicated fanbase. Scheduled for a Q1 2024 release on Steam for PC, the game has a playable demo from Monday, August 28th to Monday, September 4th, 2023, during the Steam Strategy Fest.
Wage War with Beloved Touhou Characters
Players can summon more than 30 iconic characters from the Touhou universe, including Reimu Hakurei and Marisa Kirisame. Special abilities and spell cards for these characters promise to add strategic depth, turning the tide in 20-stage story campaigns and online multiplayer battles that support up to 3v3 skirmishes.
Choose Your Faction and Conquer Gensokyo
The game offers various Touhou factions, each with unique gameplay styles and strategies. Players can opt for an aggressive early-game tactic with the Scarlet Devil Mansion or choose a more defensive strategy using the Hakurei Shrine’s advanced structures.
Build and Command a Diverse Army
Micro and macro-management are key in “The Touhou Empires.” Players need to consider the unique strengths and weaknesses of each unit, from swift cavalry and long-ranged archers to spell-casting grimoires capable of area-of-effect attacks.
Limited Time Discounts on “Gensokyo Defenders”
During the Steam Strategy Fest, players can also take advantage of a 70% discount on “Gensokyo Defenders,” a co-op tower defense game featuring a dozen Touhou characters.
Multilingual Support Confirmed
“The Touhou Empires” will be accessible to a global audience with language support in English, Simplified Chinese, Traditional Chinese, Japanese, and Korean.
