Our take on Touhou: Lost Branch of Legend
Players who need a fixed route through every encounter may hit a wall when runs present events and opponents. Deck planning also depends on mana colors, so a preferred card strategy may not match the exhibits collected during a run.
What is Touhou: Lost Branch of Legend?
A stolen lunar treasure sends Reimu Hakurei after the culprit and the missing exhibit.
This roguelike deckbuilder lets players collect cards, discover exhibits, and battle characters from Gensokyo. Shining Exhibits can permanently add mana, with their colors shaping which cards a deck can play. Five characters are available, each with two starting loadouts and different mana specialties. Runs also include 37 events, more than 55 enemies, and over 500 cards to collect. Battles use danmaku patterns that can be blocked with a barrier. The story follows the search for the Jeweled Branch of Hourai.
