You know, I am not by any means an expert when it comes to “Touhou Shinkirou” series and the Japanese language. Even so, I still got quite excited when I found out that “TH15.5: Antinomy of Common Flowers” has just launched on Steam =) So, why exactly am I so excited about “TH15.5”? Because the game looks freaking awesome! (you can watch the latest video for “TH15.5” further down the page) And not only that, “TH15.5” has received a lot of positive feedback and reviews via Steam.

If I got everything right, then “TH15.5: Antinomy of Common Flowers” is the second sequel of the Touhou Shinkirou ~ Hopeless Masquerade series.

Furthermore, I truly like the idea of an action intense one-on-one aerial fighter/fighting game. As awesome as that sounds though, there is no English subtitles or speech to be found in “TH15.5”. So that means that everything is in 100% Japanese. I don’t think that’s going to be a problem for the most though, because if I could play through “Biohazard 1” and “Biohazard” (to name a few Japanese game titles) with very little to no problems, then it shouldn’t be a big deal really.

Anyways, I think you get the idea. So here’s a Japanese to English translation of what “TH15.5” is all about:

“What is Toho Poti Hua?
This game is “Barrage Battle Action Game” by characters in the Oriental seriesA shooting shootout, a close fighting fight. And it swims swiftly and freely moves freelyTaking advantage of them, the aim is to defeat the opponent’s victory.And now the work opens a battle with a 2 VS 2 battle by Tag, let’s enjoy the even thicker barrage and bargaining that the two people weave!BGM by the hands of various creators who color the battle is also heard”

Make no mistake, “TH15.5” is action intense to the max.

So, what about the story of “TH15.5” then? Well, here’s what’s known so far (this is yet another Japanese to English translation):

“Pre-story
There was a magical phenomenon called “full possession”. A totally different person is a phenomenon that takes over not only the spirit but also the body. However, there is nothing to worry about, Reimu had already ascertained the cause about this phenomenon.

“The strongest two crowded hands”
“Something bad for humans may happen”
“Has an uncontrollable enemy appear alone?”
It was a rumor that there was no other love that the villagers were fearful or so.

The rumors that can not be grasped by entities tended to be realized due to unresolved changes called “urban legendary incident”. It is clear that this “full possession” is also one of its “urban legendary accident”. This story is a person who watches “full possession”, who uses it, who can get involved without knowing the translation, And those who are exposed to the threats hidden behind …It is the story of a misery combined with those who misunderstood that “the two strongest are theirs”.”

I don’t know about you, but I find TH15.5’s art, graphics and designs to be really awesome.

And last but not least we got the features of “TH15.5” (I’m sorry if the Japanese translation isn’t 100% correct):

“STORY I will advance the game along the story
Specify the character to be operated by VS COM COM and play a match
VS PLAYER Players will play against each other
NETWORK We will play against long distance players
PRACTICE We will practice game operation
REPLAY Play back recorded replay data
MUSIC Game Listen to music
Change CONFIG game setting”

In other words, if you like the sound of this (not to mention fighting games and crazy air battles), then “TH15.5” is a must try for you with no doubt (you can get the game for 22,99 Euros via Steam).
