A word from the publisher

Team Ladybug began with “Pharaoh Rebirth,” continuing with other enjoyable games including “Resurrection of Beldia” and “Shin Megami Tensei SYNCHRONICITY PROLOGUE.”
Since, I have been waiting in anticipation for their next project.

This time, they have created a fan fiction game based off the world-renowned “Touhou Project.”
From the background to the character’s movements and various skills, one can feel the creator’s passion for games and love of the Touhou project.

While it has a Metroidvania style, the game can easily progress without the insistence of repeat elements or collecting items. This has resulted in a spectacular game born from the game production skills cultivated by Team Ladybug.

And I personally want to highlight the beauty of the anime sprite.
You can see the attention to detail the creator put into not only the leading character’s movements, but the effects and enemy characters.

Touhou Luna Nights is not only for Touhou fans but one that can be enjoyed by anyone who loves 2D action games.

Touhou Luna Nights will support English, French German, Japanese, Korean, and Chinese (Simplified) language options.
