Our take on 東方幻想魔録W ～ The Devil of Decline
The four-protagonist choice has a narrower effect than the premise may suggest: the main story and enemy strength remain largely unchanged. Variation instead comes from starting parties, Spell Cards, ease of play, and the shikigami system.
What is 東方幻想魔録W ～ The Devil of Decline?
Choose one of four protagonists after the prologue and work to resolve a summer incident affecting Gensokyo.
Fairies, humans, buildings, and other things have begun disappearing. The game is a 2D, turn-based RPG centered on shikigami, allies who can be equipped and combined in different ways. More than 100 shikigami are available for recruitment. The protagonists differ in ease of play, starting party members, and the types and numbers of Spell Cards available at the beginning. Enemy strength and the story do not change substantially between protagonists, and the characters not selected can join the party later. The game is a Touhou Project fangame.
