東方緋想天 ~ Scarlet Weather Rhapsody (Touhou Hisouten, "Eastern Skies of Scarlet Samjna Perceptions"), known as SWR in the English-speaking community, chronologically takes place about 1 year after Mountain of Faith. Hence it is referred to as TH10.5.

Like its predecessor, Immaterial and Missing Power, Scarlet Weather Rhapsody is a collaboration between ZUN and Twilight Frontier.

Scarlet Weather Rhapsody debuted at Reitaisai 4, with a playable demo available to patrons. Another demo was released at C72, and an updated version was released online on April 29, 2008. The full version was released at Reitaisai 5 on May 25, 2008.

Gameplay

Like Immaterial and Missing Power, Scarlet Weather Rhapsody is a fighting game featuring a variety of Touhou characters. It appears to be similar in many ways to its predecessor, with many similar sprites and attacks. However, the inclusion of a new weather system that can affect the tides of battle, a 20 card deck system, and the implementation of flight marks a vast difference in gameplay between Immaterial and Missing Power and its successor.

Name and Concept

Story

A bizarre phenomenon is occurring in Gensokyo. In the middle of summer, untimely rain and hail fall in the Forest of Magic, snow blankets Hakugyokurou, the Scarlet Devil Mansion is enveloped in a cloudy, dense haze, and the Hakurei Shrine is leveled by a sudden earthquake. Throughout the game, Reimu and the other protagonists set out to investigate the source of the strange occurrences.

Tenshi Hinanawi is a celestial. Finding her newfound life in Heaven boring and monotonous, she enviously saw the youkai of Gensokyo stirring many incidents from above. Wielding the power to control the earth and the divine Sword of Hisou, the jaded celestial decides to instigate a catastrophe of her own.

Music

Scarlet Weather Rhapsody has a total of 31 tracks in the game for many events and all the characters. The soundtrack was mostly arranged by U2 Akiyama, and only Iku Nagae's, Tenshi Hinanawi's and Tenshi's last spell theme are made by ZUN.

Reimu Hakurei's and Marisa Kirisame's arranged theme are both from Lotus Land Story. For Alice Margatroid and Youmu Konpaku their stage theme in Perfect Cherry Blossom are used over their actual boss theme, and Sakuya Izayoi's and Aya Shameimaru's theme was actually from Phantasmagoria of Flower View. At last, Yukari Yakumo's and Suika Ibuki's theme are from Immaterial and Missing Power. The not named character's themes are their boss themes from their respective games.

The pre-battle themes and location themes all share the same motif from "Oriental Sky of Scarlet Perception" (東方緋想天), the staff roll theme. Tenshi's last spell is arranged from her normal theme, "Catastrophe in Bhavaagra ~ Wonderful Heaven" (有頂天変 ~ Wonderful Heaven).
