James already gave it a spin and liked the game a lot, saying:
A cheerful platformer that successfully brings the arcade magic of its predecessors into the modern era. While the story might overstay its welcome, and the controls can feel a little slippery at times, the overall experience is as satisfying as a snow day.

Content Update Touhou Genso Wanderer -FORESIGHT-
Touhou Genso Wanderer -FORESIGHT- is gearing up for a content update this December 2024 on PC via Steam, Nintendo Switch, and PlayStation 4. Developed by AQUASTYLE and published by Phoenixx, this rogue-lite RPG fan game from the Touhou Project universe is adding even more excitement.
Margaret liked the game a lot when she reviewed it, and wrote in conclusion:
“A lovely jump-in point for both the Touhou Project and the roguelike genre, both of which are great things for the long-term prosperity of any franchise. While it’s not as in-depth as other Mystery Dungeon games, and though its anime plot of mikos and mystics versus the world may be pretty alien to anyone unfamiliar with the home franchise, it does well with what it has and keeps its focus on those new arrivals who don’t know all the decades-long interactions between these characters.”
If you’re eager to dive in, the game is currently 30% off during the Steam Autumn Sale for a limited time.
Trailblazer Update for Lightyear Frontier
Lightyear Frontier has just gotten even better with the Trailblazer update, which is now available on Steam and coming soon to Xbox Series X|S and the Microsoft Store! Developer FRAME BREAK has packed this update with exciting new features and improvements based on player feedback.
