TOKYO — July 17, 2025 — Fantasy Maiden Wars - DREAM OF THE STRAY DREAMER -, the bullet hell tactical RPG based in the Touhou universe developed by Sanbondo and published by Phoenixx Inc., tells a tactical tale of epic proportions on PC via Steam and Nintendo Switch in 2025.
Previously exclusive to Japanese audiences, developer Sanbondo’s worldwide release of Fantasy Maiden Wars weaves a rich narrative drawn from multiple sources. By blending the original Touhou Project story with elements from popular fan creations, it unites diverse threads from across the fantastical realm of Gensokyo to form the greatest Touhou story ever told.
The fate of womankind lies in the hands of the magical Marisa and Shrine Maiden Reimu. As mysteries manifest throughout Gensokyo, combine offensive prowess with precise positioning to gain the upper hand in turn-based battles. Search out the source of strange happenings, and banish evil from the land. Plan out pulverizing melee attacks, and execute bullet-hell style attacks from afar for widespread destruction.
Dominate the battlefield with familiar faces, forming a perfectly balanced squad across a roster of more than 70 characters to choose from, each with their own tide-turning skills. Equip iconic Spell Cards with lethal effects, bask in exquisite attack animations, and enjoy artistic cutscenes before and after battles complemented by classic Touhou tracks.
