Gameplay

Touhou Kouryuudou(Rainbow Dragon Cave) ~ Unconnected Marketeers (東方虹龍洞 ~ Unconnected Marketeers) is the eighteenth official installment of the Touhou Project. It was announced by ZUN on the Touhou Project news blog Touhou Yomoyama News, February 2021.[1] A playable demo was released on March 21st the same year, at Reitaisai 18, with the full version being released on May 4th on Steam, while the retail version was released on May 13th.

Gameplay

There are four main characters: Reimu Hakurei, Marisa Kirisame, Sakuya Izayoi and Sanae Kochiya.

The game features over 40 "ability cards" that can either be equipped before starting a playthrough, or bought at a shop menu after each stage. While only a few are initially available to be equipped in advance, others can be unlocked via successive playthroughs. Cards can grant the player "active" abilities (used at will with C, then must be recharged), "passive" gameplay perks, "equipment" (in the form of additional options or small helper characters), or simply additional lives.

Concept

This game is described as a poppy, rainbow-colored shooting game with a refreshing atmosphere.

Story

The story revolves around the circulation of mysterious cards, which seem to contain the secrets of various humans and youkai.

Music

Press

Unconnected Marketeers was first announced on Touhou Yomoyama News on February 27, 2021, along with information about the characters and story, and several in-development screenshots. It officially released on May 4th, 2021 on Steam, a departure from its usual physical release at the summer Comiket event, due to the international COVID-19 crisis.[2] It is the first ever whole-numbered Touhou Project game, including PC-98 games, not to be released at a Comiket event.
