Hence why a beta for v1.40 is out right now. Actually, the game is still being worked on even today. (The netplay was updated to a lobby system, and apparently it went a bit wrong.) These updates actually carried on for quite some time, thanks to factors I’ll explain at the end. The bigger updates merely made small, but important, changes to some of the gameplay, graphics and balance, although the netplay was cut off for everyone not in Japan after v1.30. Mostly, these were all just little updates throughout. This time though, it wasn’t down to it being unfinished. ULiL actually nearly got to a similar version as HM – the current version is 1.32. I noted with HM that the number of patches it got through was pretty ridiculous, and all thanks to all sorts of stupid reasons. Certainly it’s rather atmospheric, though the character selection music is infinitely more epic. But at least the menu music is positively spooky this time. Weirdly, there’s not much of an intro to speak of this time. Her arrival brought the Sealing Club to the main games for the first time, and one wonders if the exact relation with Renko will be revealed… Either way, she was one very interesting new character.īut it had more than just the mechanics to fix from HM – there were plenty of other flaws that game had which ULiL simply had to better. Many were pleased to see her return, but the new character for this game also raised plenty of interest Sumireko Usami, sharing a surname with music CD protagonist Renko Usami. New to this game were Kasen, out of the manga Wild and Horned Hermit, with Sukuna representing the newest of the new and a shocking return for IN’s Extra Stage boss, Fujiwara no Mokou. This seemed a sign that Touhou was now out of its gimmicky phase of the past few years, which could only be a good thing at the end of the day.Įach of the characters from HM were back, naturally, and fortunately there were plenty of good additions this time to bring the roster up to a respectable level. The big mechanic is crucial, but not utterly dominant over the fighting itself. There’s a spell bar which fills up and lets you use your spell card, and a change-up in health which shows you how much you heal yourself when applicable. Other than that though, it’s all just about the fighting for the most part. The Occult Orbs also caused on-field effects when they appeared, in a manner identical to the weather of SWR and Soku.
Getting an Occult Orb allowed you to use your Urban Legend, and collecting four of them gave you the chance to unleash your Last Word. They appeared gradually over the course of a battle and you had to outdo your opponent in hitting them to acquire them – the one with the most hits on it in 10 seconds gets it (if it gets hit equally by both fighters, neither gets it). The biggest factor was the Occult Orbs, central to the gameplay and plot. Not only were the new mechanics much less definitive, they were clearly a lot simpler to understand.

Chiefly, getting rid of popularity was one great big plus that no longer had to worry us again. That was already a strong enough start, but with a new game came all new mechanics and this lot seemed better than what HM had. The concept was the same as HM, but ULiL sought to fix the jerkiness of its predecessor’s fighting, first of all. There, Urban Legend of Limbo was released.

After a trial version was released at Comiket 87, the full game was released at the traditional time for a fighting game – Reitaisai 12. This was the second incarnation of the current fighting game era and a chance to redeem itself after the shitshow that was Hopeless Masquerade.
A month later, he confirmed its identity, and it was, yes, you guessed it, yet another side game. ZUN released a teaser to his next Touhou game in November 2014, at Digital Game Expo.
