About
Freely fly through the sky, dodge the bullet barrages coming your way, and shoot spells…
From Touhou Sky Arena developer Areazero comes a new aerial battle action game project featuring Touhou Project characters, which is fully underway toward its prologue version release.
Faster, more intense, and with crazier barrages of bullets—please look forward to the girls’ aerial combat action.
The Girls’ New Wings: Valkyrie Arms
It is said that the “Valkyrie Arms,” brought to Gensokyo by someone from the outside, possess the power to multiply the wearer’s aerial prowess, and the deeper its bonds as a partner, the faster and stronger the wearer will become.
Characters
Girls wearing units called “Valkyrie Arms” that enable them to participate in ultra high-speed battles. The combination of Touhou Project characters and mechanical units produces the game’s visual concept.
