Touhou Lost Word is a Touhou Project-themed RPG playable on a smartphone. An incident has occurred in Gensokyo involving a mysterious lost world. It’s up to characters from the Touhou Project, including Reimu and Marisa, to solve the mystery.

The game uses Touhou characters who can use various spell cards. Players can choose a specific character to build their skills. Up to six characters can team up and participate in the battle. The game also added a special feature to change a character’s clothing and three types of character voices.

The official social media accounts have been releasing additional information about the Touhou characters and two sizes of mobile wallpapers. The first character to be introduced as Marisa Kirisama, the best ordinary magician in Gensokyo. She uses the power of bullets to defeat her opponents. The game’s Twitter account continues to introduce new characters weekly.

Touhou Lost Word uses a “gatcha” style of gameplay for getting additional characters. Pre-registering for the game will help players earn more currency to give them an upper hand before starting the game. Otherwise, the in-app purchases range from $0.99 – $89.99.

Touhou Lost Word’s pre-registration campaign includes several tiers. Pre-registering can be done through email. The first tier at 10,000 users unlocks Reimu and Marisa, who can be raised up to five stars. After that, an additional 10,000 users will unlock additional Seal Crystals and coins.

At 50,000 users, players can unlock one Story Card, and then another Story Card at 150,00 users. At 200,000 users, players can unlock 20 Seal Crystals, 7,500 Coins, and one Story Card for the Lively Temple Grounds.

All pre-registration content will be given out after the game launches. If more than 200,000 users pre-register, the developer will add more unlockable tiers. Only those who pre-register will receive these bonus items.

Touhou Lost Word is a free-to-play game but has in-app purchases. The game brings together multiple illustrators and musicians to help bring the game to life.

Although the official global website and social media accounts are available now, there’s no official release date at this time. The first trailer is now available for those who want to see the game in action before it launches in the future.
