Touhou Soccer Moushuuden/Gameplay

From Touhou Wiki
Jump to navigation Jump to search

Introduction

Touhou Soccer Moushuuden gameplay very closely mirrors the Captain Tsubasa series of games on the NES and SNES. The objective of each game is to score more goals than your opponent, within the allotted time. The time is usually 2 halves of 30 in-game minutes each, which tick down based on actions taken in the game in lieu of a real timer. Certain matches may change aspects of the gameplay, such as changing the objective of the game, or increasing the time limit.

Game Modes

Main Scenario

Main Scenario, the only mode present in the original Touhou Soccer, follows the adventures of Hakurei Reimu as she, urged on by a mysterious bespectacled man, forms a team of characters from all over the Touhou universe to battle it out in the sudden football tournament occuring, and to become the new Super Shooting Player. The mode lasts over 21 games and plays similarly to a RPG, with new characters joining, levelling up to increase your players' statistics, and boss battles which last longer than the standard games.

Sub Scenario

Sub Scenario mode consists of several small Sub-Scenario story arcs that can be chosen in any order, all of which take place after the events of Main Scenario. Each Sub Scenario is made up of anywhere between 1-5 matches, and is mostly used to learn the new techniques that were not present in the original game; once seen in action, these techniques can be used anywhere, including Main Scenario. There are 11 sub-scenarios with 1-2 main characters each.

Travel Mode

A 25-game marathon mode based around building your own team. You start out by selecting a captain and two more players, and naming your team. As you play games, you'll earn money that you can use to buy players and items at the shop. Every five games, you'll face VIVIT from the Seihou series and her team; depending on the outcome of the matches against her, you'll go on different routes.

All-Star Mode

This mode allows you to play friendly matches against the computer or another human player. It has various options such as picking how long the halves will last, choosing a team or choosing the players, or even loading a campaign mode team, and adjusting the levels which works as a sort of handicap. As you progress through the game, new moves, players and teams will become available.
