About Valkyrie of Phantasm
Story
A meteorite suddenly crashes into Gensokyo.
A crack appears on its metallic, egg-like surface, and small particles of light shine through the cracks, and they scatter all at once, in all directions.
Eventually, they reach the most powerful residents of Gensokyo.
One of these lights reaches Reimu Hakurei. It engulfs her, as it transforms into what looks like a suit of armor.
A name echoes in her head, and she repeats it out loud,
"Valkyrie Arms..."
Sensing the beginnings of an incident, she sighs and looks off in the direction which the light came from.
She floats up into the air, and is gone in the blink of an eye, leaving nothing but a red trail of light behind her.
"My body feels so light..."
Flying faster than ever before, Reimu realizes that her armor—her Valkyrie Arms—are to thank for her newfound speed.
Who gave her this power, and for what purpose? To find the reason behind it all, Reimu hurries on her way... but it doesn't take long before someone stands in her way.
"Looks like I'm not the only one."
Standing before Reimu is another girl, similarly clad in a set of Valkyrie Arms. They were both granted the same power, and they both know what must be done...
And thus, a high-speed danmaku battle begins.
Valkyrie of Phantasm is based on the Touhou series,
but has a brand new original story with the creators' own interpretations of the world and characters.
This is a Touhou Project fan game developed by Areazero.

✦ AI summary
Players praise the game's fun combat mechanics and solid execution as a fighter with Touhou characters, appreciating its accessibility and portability. However, common complaints center on the extremely limited roster of only eight characters that becomes repetitive quickly, sparse content with minimal story modes and limited post-game activities, and concerns about whether the game will receive meaningful updates or additional characters despite its Early Access status.
what a nice touhou game, such a hidden gem.3 found this helpful
Very fun shooter fighter game, my bro breathes Touhou and it rubbed off on me, this game deserves all the praise despite my PC only running one map nevertheless bought as support, may the whole cast be here one day =]1 found this helpful
pretty good but not for me. I bought this game thinking it was gonna be my jam, it wasn't but I understand that others may like it and I know that it's definitely well made.
Another great game from Arena Zero after Magical Battle Arena. Also great to play on the go. Short game but worth it. Already purchased since pre release. Play on my XBOX ALLY X 720p 13w mode hit 60fps but drop 20fps sometimes. Turbo 25W mode fix it but still drop 40fps. Best solution using framegen adaptive 75fps great even in 13w mode
Projectile-heavy aerial combat, three spell slots for customization options, and even a "Super Saiyan" mode, this is basically just a DBZ fighting game with Touhou girls. As fun as the combat is, this is the smallest roster I've ever seen in a fighting game at only eight characters (plus an unlockable boss) which makes everything very repetitive. Reimu is the only character with a complete story mode, and with no characters on the production roadmap, this is yet another Early Access game that was released in a "good enough" state to push it into the New Releases category on Steam. After finishing the limited Story mode, there's only (dead) online PvP and a Survival mode to play, and the AI isn't much better than beginner difficulties in other fighting games. You might enjoy this if you're a huge Touhou fan but there's several other Touhou fighting games out there with deeper combat, better AI, and bigger rosters. The only things really going for this are the graphical fidelity and the fact that all the characters and cutscenes are fully voiced. If they finished the Story campaigns for the other characters and doubled the roster size it might be worth getting on a sale. The absolu…
Good idea, pretty okayish outcome. Better than nothing. Better than Touhou Sky Arena. Good Job :)
