Our take on Touhou Blooming Soul
The listing emphasizes replayability and customization, but describes each run as lasting around an hour. Much of the variation comes from randomized maps and builds, emotion choices, and unlockable boss characters, rather than a single continuous campaign.
What is Touhou Blooming Soul?
Touhou Blooming Soul is a brisk side-view action game built around roguelike runs.
Each attempt takes about an hour, with a newly generated map, foes, items, abilities, and a boss at the end. Hata no Kokoro can change among Joy, Anger, Sorrow, and Happiness; each choice alters her stats, powers, and combat approach. Items and skills support different character builds, while collecting 3, 6, or 10 items tied to one emotion grants a set bonus. Meeting specific requirements makes defeated bosses available as characters, each with their own attacks and skills.
Records cover items, skills, monsters, bosses, music, and story scenes. Players can raise the challenge by turning off emotions, items, or skills. At the lowest difficulty, an item provides unlimited revives.
