Details
The full picture
Written from verified facts; labels mark how strong each statement's evidence is.
What the game is
Touhou Gensokyo Defense is an auto-battle roguelike defense released October 7, 2026 at $2.69.
Youkai pour down the lane toward your barrier while your heroines shoot back automatically - every bullet of danmaku is automatic.
What you hold is everything around it: who you bring, where they stand, which spell card they carry, and what you take when the battle offers you three cards.
Heroines and placement
Eight playable characters - Reimu, Marisa, Youmu, Mystia, Patchouli, Cirno, Sakuya and Koishi - each with a unique basic attack, on-hit passive and spell card.
Up to five slots, each reaching a different distance: Master Spark wants a clear line, the Grand Magic Circle wants a crowd.
The map tells you which defense the next stage leans on before you commit, so party-building comes after reading the stage.
Bosses and who it is for
Kills feed a shared level; when it rises, combat freezes and three cards appear - raise one skill, lift the whole party, or reinforce the barrier.
Every fifth stage a boss waits with two phases and a spell card of her own - win, and she turns up in the shop on later stages.
It suits auto-battler and Touhou fans who like placement tactics and permanent progression across runs (BOUNDED: official Steam description, checked 2026-10-07).
