Our take on Touhou: Gensokyo Survivors
The grid inventory adds a planning layer to a fast survival format, but it also makes carrying capacity and item arrangement part of every run. That trade-off favors players who enjoy managing space while under pressure over those who want combat to remain the sole focus.
