Koop Touhou Blooming Soul PC

　

I. Introduction

This is a fast-paced side-scrolling action game with roguelite elements. Follow Hata no Kokoro as she explores and defeats enemies on the stage of Gensokyo.

The game contains many randomized elements such as items, skills and maps. Players can utilize a variety of different playstyles, making each run uniquely different from the last.

Ⅱ. Setting

This is a game about loneliness, self-discovery, and peering into others' intense emotions.

Kokoro is a mask tsukumogami with many bottled up emotions, yet she cannot express these emotions herself. All living creatures experience joy, sorrow, anger and happiness. At the advice of a friend, Kokoro reflects on her life's journey.

Relive the battles she had once fought, her opponents' intense and passionate emotions, and take a peek into the mystery known as her "feelings"...

What are tsukumogami？

Tsukumogami are youkai born out of objects created or used by humans. Over many years, these objects gain sentience and gradually take on a human form.

Ⅲ. Core Gameplay

1. Roguelite Sidescrolling Dungeon Crawl

An infinitely replayable roguelite where each run lasts around an hour!

The map is randomly generated at the start of each run. Clear levels at record speed as you relentlessly explore, learn, and master the game with your own touch of visual flair, just like the exploration in Dead Cells.

Battle against youkai and other magical creatures while exploring the map to obtain skills and items to make yourself stronger and create the perfect synergy tailor-made for your playstyle!

△ Brisk exploration and combat.

Naturally, seasoned players can also ignore skills and items entirely, relying only on sheer mastery over the controls to overcome enemies.

At the end of the map will be a powerful boss where you can put all you've learned to use!

△ Engage in thrilling and exciting boss battles.
2. The Four Emotions
Kokoro possesses four core emotions: Joy, Anger, Sorrow and Happiness, which she can freely swap between during battle. Switching emotions completely changes your attributes, abilities and fighting style!
△ 喜. Joy—magic. Outputs a constant stream of powerful magic attacks, supported by a bigger mana pool and wider access to passive MP recovery.
△ 怒. Anger—close-combat. Keep up the pressure and deal exponentially more damage by stacking passive damage buffs! The bigger they come, the quicker they fall!
△ 哀. Sorrow—survivability. Comes with a shield for soaking damage, but can also be turned off to unleash devastating abilities. The best offense is a good defense!
△ 乐. Happiness—anti-armor. Possesses high armor-piercing capabilities as well as massive increase to certain stats, perfect for dodging and weaving through enemies.

We also have a "null" emotion which does not provide any buffs. This is a hidden mechanic reserved for expert players that desire these restrictions for an even bigger challenge!

3. Items & Set Effects

As you explore levels, you'll randomly come across different items which can strengthen your emotions or basic attributes, allowing you to customize and curate your build just the way you like it.

There will be many opportunities to obtain items as you go through the map.

In addition to empowering your character, items also allow you to access a wider variety of options to use in movement and combat. You can plan out your build in advance or improvise depending on what you get in the early game.

Create your own style, whether it's brute forcing, outmaneuvering, or gracefully avoiding enemies.

△ Items will have randomized attributes and emotions.

Furthermore, collecting 3, 6 or 10 items belonging to the same emotion will activate a powerful set effect!

Activating a set effect powers up your character across the board, meaning you can reap its benefits regardless of your playstyle!

△ Item counter glows when enough corresponding items are collected
4. Spectacular Emotion Skills!

Aside from items, you will also gain skills for the character you're playing as!

Skills directly increase your character's combat abilities, as well as opening up new options and adding a touch of visual flair! Knowing how to employ your repertoire of skills will not only make the game easier, it's also the best gateway into crazy combos for those who love to challenge themselves!

△ Plan out how to use your skills for maximum mind-blowing combos!
5. Bosses Become Playable!

Surprise! Kokoro isn't the only playable character in this game! She is the main character—the one whom the story is told through—but there's no reason the other bosses can't be the main character themselves! Unlock these bosses by meeting certain conditions to play as them!

Items affect bosses the same way they do Kokoro, but bosses have their own unique moveset and skills! Each boss also functions differently, so if you ever get tired of playing as Kokoro, you can swap to a boss to keep things fresh!

Kokoro's most mesmerizing combos can just as well be performed by the bosses! Experimenting with each boss adds a whole new dimension to the game's replayability...

△ Mokou unlocked as a playable character after meeting the conditions! Featuring a completely different moveset for an all-new experience even after clearing the game!
6. Don't Forget The Collection

Items, skills, monster info, boss entries, music room... everything is there to collect to your heart's content! Also, it's a Steam game, so achievements are a must!

We've also ensured that these achievements are reasonably designed and require absolutely NO DLC to complete! Say no to disgusting achievements!

△ An abundance of unique items for you to collect!
△ A plethora of skills ensures every emotion is viable.
△ A sleek compendium for each boss. The strong deserve to be remembered.
△ A peculiar compendium of strange and peculiar enemies.
△ Listen to unlocked songs as many times as you want within the game, and even set them as the town's theme.
△ Revisit the game's stories and events in the album.

3. Accessible to Players of All Skill Levels

"Action games? But I suck at action games. I should play something else."

If you're new to action games, you may pass up on it out of fear that it may be too difficult. This is why we've taken steps to ensure that there is a difficulty suitable for everyone, such as turning on "infinite revives" to never worry about Game Overs ever again. All you need is patience to beat the game, and once you've accumulated enough experience, you can challenge even greater heights! No need to worry about penalties when dying!

△ Choosing to play on low difficulty gives you by default an item that grants infinite revives. Nothing can stop you from finishing the game!
△ Immediately come back with full health after taking too much damage!

"Oh, another action game. What does this game have for it in such a saturated medium?"

If you've played your share of action games, it's natural to consider how fleshed out a combat system is, or if you can turn off certain options to make the game harder. We've taken all of this into consideration!

Firstly, there are many combinations of items and skills which you can use to execute a myriad of stylish combos or push the system to its limit by chaining as many moves together as possible. All it takes is skill, creativity, and the game is your oyster!

You can also choose to disable emotions, items and/or skills, increasing the difficulty of the game and using nothing but raw skill to progress!

△ Through planning and practice, skilled players can unleash devastating and stunning combos!
4. Impeccable Sound and Music

Music has always been something we're confident in, and we stand by our dedication to provide the most exciting, passionate and emotional melodies. Whether you're moving about or duking it out with a boss, there'll always be a harmonious melody to accompany you, immersing you in the emotions of the game's characters.

We're confident that our music will become a regular part of your playlist, and we've also provided a music room for you to enjoy the soundtracks in-game.

5. Our Flawless Track Record

We already have a sizable list of games, some better than others, but we've never left a game abandoned before!

We started making games in 2018, and in these seven years, we've sold 5 games and many DLCs. All of them either complete start to finish or still under development. We also actively interact with our community on social media and gather feedback from them. By maintaining close relations with our player-base, we've created many games, and we believe that your support will improve our game! Of course, even if you decide to not support us, we'll still finish the game all the same. Regardless of how the game sells, we promise to develop the game until it is completely done!

△ Our past games. Some better than others, but we've never once left one abandoned or unfinished.

Many more surprises await inside the game for you to discover...

We put all our heart into this game, and we're sure that you won't regret buying it.
