Touhou Spell Carnival
A bullet-hell and strategy RPG hybrid that lets you command Touhou's Reimu through grid-based tactical combat with real-time spell casting.
GamerScout Verdict
Worth trying if you want tactical RPGs with real-time dodging, though pacing issues and niche appeal limit its reach.

Every store in this table quotes us in euros, so the EUR figure is the price the seller actually set, not our arithmetic — which is why EUR is also the currency we rank in. We only list an offer here when the store gives us its price in euros, so nothing in this table is a number we invented.
Pick USD, PLN, GBP, CAD or AUD in the header and we convert from EUR at the European Central Bank reference rate — converted amounts are prefixed with ~. Your bank or the store may apply a different rate at checkout. We never hide offers based on where you are: everyone sees this whole table.
We may earn a commission when you buy games through links on this page — at no extra cost to you. It never affects our rankings or verdicts.

About Touhou Spell Carnival
I spent a few hours with Touhou Spell Carnival expecting either a pure bullet-hell or a traditional tactical RPG, and instead got something genuinely weird in the best way. You're positioned on a grid, moving and positioning allies while dodging incoming fire in real-time. It's Touhou's bullet patterns meeting Fire Emblem-style positioning, and the two systems actually click once you stop overthinking it. The spell variety and character roster give you real build flexibility across runs. What works: the tactical layer forces you to think spatially instead of just mashing attack; the dodging feels snappy. What doesn't: the early game pacing drags a bit, and some encounters feel like they're testing your patience more than your strategy. It's niche, but if you like strategy RPGs with a twitch component and don't mind the Touhou aesthetics, there's solid depth here. Definitely one for the grid-combat enthusiasts.
