TOUHOU LUNA NIGHTS Releases Final Update

PLAYISM is proud to release the final update with a new extra stage of Touhou Luna Nights on Steam.

Touhou Luna Nights Final Update Contents

Touhou Luna Nights is a Japanese 2D action-exploration (Metroidvania) style game developed by the indie dev team known as Team Ladybug. The title boasts a 97% positive review rate among its 3,500+ reviews on Steam, earning it the “Overwhelmingly Positive” label. Also, on the Steam review ranking site Steam250, Touhou Luna Nights ranks #4 in the list of best games of 2019.

The main character is Sakuya Izayoi, brought over from the popular Touhou Project series. Featuring Sakuya’s power of controlling time and hardcore knife battles beautifully rendered in sprite animation, the Touhou Project’s “grazing” system adds extra fun to the action, allowing you to recover HP and MP by closing in on enemies and further spicing up the fight.

This final update contains a beautiful extra stage modeled on a Hakurei Shrine motif. Making an appearance as stage boss is Reimu Hakurei, an immensely tough, origami-wielding foe who is almost impossible to defeat in one go, even for the most seasoned players.

The gimmicks throughout the stage have powered up even further, providing not only more varied and exciting gameplay but also boasting beautiful sprite-based graphics and enemy motions from the artists at Team Ladybug.

The developers have also added a number of other things, such as achievements and a Boss Rush mode, and other points requested by players since Early Access, including large-scale performance and operating speed improvements, a screenshot function, various bug fixes and adjustments, and more. Everything you’d expect from a final update!
