Our take on Sanae Toumaden X2
The game departs from roguelike convention by keeping upgrades collected in stages rather than resetting them after a failed run. It also replaces stamina-limited attacks with unrestricted striking, while retaining changing stage progression and ability-based combat.
What is Sanae Toumaden X2?
Sanae Toumaden X2 is a Touhou fan game built around jump-and-slash platform action.
Players progress through stages, defeat bosses, and receive a new ability after each boss encounter. Enemies have individual weaknesses tied to abilities, making ability selection part of combat. The game includes human-designed stages with a roguelike-inspired structure, but upgrades collected during a stage are retained rather than lost. Its attack system removes stamina limits, allowing repeated attacks without an endurance meter. After the cannon is fired, additional stages become available. The story follows a moon rocket launched from the Scarlet Devil Mansion and an interception missile fired by the Yakumo group.
