| − | '''{{lang|ja|東方紅魔郷}} ～''' '''''the Embodiment of Scarlet Devil''''' (romanized: ''Touhou Koumakyou'', meaning ''Eastern Lands of the Scarlet Devil'') is a challenging vertical-scrolling shooter, and is the sixth official game of the [[Touhou]] series. It is the first to be released specifically for the [[Wikipedia:Microsoft Windows|Windows OS]]. |
||
| − | |||
| − | The game takes place in the mystic oriental land of [[Gensokyo]], as usual. The story revolves around the appearance of a thick red mist, that has covered the land and blocked out the sun. Playing as either [[Reimu Hakurei]] (a [[shrine maiden]]) or [[Marisa Kirisame]] (a playful [[magician]]), you must battle your way through 6 difficult stages toward the source of the red mist, and face the "Scarlet Devil" behind it all. |

||
| − | Embodiment of Scarlet Devil features two different playable characters to choose from, with two different [[Spell Card]] types each. [[Reimu Hakurei]] can cover a wide area of the screen with weaker attacks, while [[Marisa Kirisame]] relies on her speed and power to make up for her thinner attack spread. The bombs (Spell Cards) also show different behavior and damage depending on the character and type chosen. |
||
| − | |||
| − | Some important gameplay features that Embodiment of Scarlet Devil introduces over its predecessor [[Mystic Square]] are "automatic item collection" which allows you to collect all items on screen by moving to the top of the screen if you are at full power, and a counter-bomb system, which allows you to negate an enemy hit by pressing the bomb button within a short reaction time immediately after. |

||
| − | :''Main article: [[Embodiment of Scarlet Devil: Translation]]'' (includes the translated script) |
||
| − | During a peaceful summer in [[Gensokyo]], an unnatural scarlet mist appears without warning and covers much of the land. It is strong enough to block out the sun, causing the affected areas to become dark and cold. [[Reimu Hakurei]], a [[shrine maiden]] working at the [[Hakurei Shrine]], feels it is a shrine maiden's duty to find the cause of this unnatural weather. [[Marisa Kirisame]], a [[magician]], hopes that the person casting the spell will have some interesting items to collect. Depending on who you choose, only one of these two heroines actually goes out and investigates. |
||
| − | |||
| − | The heroine travels toward the island of a lake where the mist seems to originate from. Before reaching her destination, the heroine is intercepted by [[Rumia]], who was traveling by the lake's edge, and then [[Cirno]], who called the lake her home. However, Rumia and Cirno were not related to the source of the mist. Upon reaching the island, the heroine is immediately attacked by many guards. The offensive is led by [[Hong Meiling]], who is unsuccessful in driving away the intruding heroine from the premises. After the fight, the heroine enters the [[Scarlet Devil Mansion]], certain that the person causing the mist is inside. The heroine first looks through a dim library, where [[Patchouli Knowledge]] tries to stop the heroine from proceeding any further. The heroine then reaches the main hallways, where the chief maid [[Sakuya Izayoi]] also tries to stop the heroine from reaching her mistress. After the long journey, the heroine comes face to face with the Scarlet Devil herself, [[Remilia Scarlet]], on the balcony of the Scarlet Devil Mansion. Remilia reveals that the scarlet mist was created so that she could feel comfortable walking out during the day. After a fierce battle, Remilia is defeated and things return to relative normality in Gensokyo. |
||
| − | |||
| − | A few days later, the heroine returns to the Scarlet Devil Mansion during Remilia's absence and finds the entire household in chaos. Making her way to the main hallways, the heroine fights a stronger maid staff than before, as well as a much stronger version of Patchouli. As the heroine wonders why everyone is on edge, Remilia's little sister, [[Flandre Scarlet]], appears. Flandre reveals that she has been hidden inside the mansion for 495 years, and she has never seen a human before. Flandre asks the heroine to play with her, and after a long and difficult battle, Flandre is defeated. |
