    Touhou Genso Wanderer Reloaded is a fantastic interpretation of the Mystery Dungeon formula that genre fans are sure to love. However, if you already own the vanilla version and aren't a hardcore fan then you likely won't be impressed with this iteration.

    It's an interesting and somewhat fun game. The story is good and it will please fans of the series and newcomers.

    It’s a Japanese roguelike influenced by Mystery Dungeon in the combats, but in the end falls short in meeting expectations.

    Touhou Genso Wanderer Reloaded adds to the Nintendo Switch catalogue a game that is based on dungeon crawling, slapped with a roguelike formula. If the exploration is very challenging, even merciless at times, and features quite a wealth of weapons and objects to catch, the difficulty can reach too high peaks. The most obvious collateral damage is that it will be mostly fans of the Touhou series who will dedicate themselves to the game, while newcomers will feel put off by the difficulty and rather repetitive combat. A decent formula but which could do more to reach out.

    Overwhelming for newcomers and probably too generic for genre aficionados, Touhou Gensou Wanderer Reloaded is difficult to recommend to all but die-hard series fans. The beautiful hand-drawn presentation and high production values are hindered severely by a contrived and intrusive interface, unimportant dialogue with very little character development and derivative mechanics. It certainly looks the part, but there are more fun and interesting adventure roguelikes such as Crypt Of The Necrodancer on the eShop right now.

To start with, the game doesn't really explain to you anything, its a self taught self learn without tutorial kind of game. If there is a similar game, I would said it very similar to pokemon mystery dungeon. The graphic is decent and gameplay is ok. Nothing sticks out and I brought it on discount so I would just give it a passing score.… Full Review »

    Muy divertido y entretenido, con gráficos muy hermosos en mi opinión, me recuerda cuando de pequeño jugaba a los Pokémon mundo misterioso.

I entered the novice tutorial section and the diagonal movements are **** Two hours in, and I still haven't finished it because either I go in an unwanted direction or I move more than I wish to or when I remove my fingers from the two buttons on the Dpad, it will go in the direction of the last button my finger presses on even when I remove my fingers very quickly to avoid this.

    Big story, interesting mechanics but movements are bad.    … Full Review »
