![]() Along the way, you can pick up a slew of items and gear to help you out in your journey. As with other games in this genre, you start each run in the main 30-plus floor dungeon at Level 1 and steadily build your strength up as you clear floors. In that sense, Touhou Genso Wanderer delivers as well. Of course, the proof for every mystery dungeon style roguelike is in its gameplay pudding. Then you’ve got the incorrigible “kappa” yokai inventors who have no qualms of stealing other inventors’ brilliant ideas and copyrighting it themselves. These include the overeager sage trainee Futo Mononobe and her unhealthy obsession with burning things down. Folks used to Japanese otaku culture, however, will feel right at home with the kooky cast. Granted, many follow familiar character tropes, which fans of Western RPGs likely will find shallow. Later on, you can also recruit several other Touhou misfits as partners to help you tackle Wanderer’s floors.Įven if you’re unfamiliar with the Touhou franchise, fans of Japanese anime and manga will like the characters of this game.

In contrast, developer Aqua Style clearly pours in some extra “oomph” in Touhou Genso Wanderer. Meanwhile, the remaining few such as “Pokemon Mystery Dungeon” and “Shiren the Wanderer” usually don’t splurge on the presentation. It’s an aspect I found quite surprising given how games in this genre are few and far between these days. As far as “fushigi” or mystery dungeon-style roguelike games go, the production values for “Touhou Genso Wanderer” are top notch. ![]()
