My first experience with the niche phenomenon that is Touhou was not a pleasant one. Touhou: Scarlet Curiosity killed any curiosity I had in the franchise with its bland presentation, poor combat, and forgettable storyline. I really had no plans of taking a second run at the series, but plans can change. At E3, coming off an uneventful Metal Max Xeno demo, I used the last of my time with publisher NIS to check out Touhou Genso Wanderer Reloaded.
If the name sounds familiar, it’s because Touhou Genso Wanderer released just last year on PlayStation 4 and Vita. Reloaded is being described as the “ultimate version of the roguelike masterpiece.” Big words for a game that wouldn’t look out of place on Newgrounds. It would be easy for me to dismiss it on looks alone, but its simplistic art direction fell to the wayside as it absolutely sucked me in just a few floors into the first dungeon.
