We have another batch of details for Koumajou Remilia II: Stranger’s Requiem, which focuses on new playable character Reimu Hakurei and a Boss Rush Mode. We also have tidbits about an Extra-Easy Mode, challenge element, and collection element.
Playable Character: Reimu Hakurei
Reimu Hakurei, protagonist of the previous game Koumajou Remilia: Scarlet Symphony, becomes a playable character.
Reimu Hakurei, shrine maiden of the Hakurei Shrine with the ability to float, is slated to appear as a boss who blocks Sakuya Izayoi’s way forward in Koumajou Remilia III: Stranger’s Requiem.
Reimu Hakurei uses her whip-like close range “purification rod” and her long range “ofuda” paper charms, both introduced in the previous game, along with her unique emergency ability, “sliding,” which allows her free movement through the air.
This planned addition gives players a completely different way to enjoy the game when placed alongside Sakuya Izayoi, the original protagonist.
Boss Rush Mode
In this mode, players will be able to topple all of the Touhou Project characters that appear as bosses in Koumajou Remilia II: Stranger’s Requiem.
There are a number of boss routes lined up, including the Hakurei route and the Scarlet Devil Mansion route, changing up the characters who will appear.
Many New Features
The “Extra-Easy” mode, which was added to its previous work and received favorable reviews, will be added. Users can easily enjoy the game by adjusting the level of difficulty. In “Extra-Easy” mode, the enemy’s HP and attack power are lowered.
In addition, a “challenge” element that allows you to check the achievements of various difficulties achieved while playing the game, and a “collection” element that allows you to enjoy events or background music that you have experienced once while playing the game will be added.
Koumajou Remilia II: Stranger’s Requiem launches for Switch on December 14, 2023.
