Touhou Multi Scroll Shooting 2

Touhou Multi Scroll Shooting 2 is a shooting game that shifts seamlessly between side-scrolling, top-down and 3D behind-the-player perspectives, with cut-scenes integrated into the stage flow. Its story is abstract and presented without narration, with some elements drawing on other Touhou Project derivative works. Choose from Hakurei Reimu, Kirisame Marisa or Izayoi Sakuya and play through six main stages and an extra stage. Three difficulty settings, regenerating HP and MP, and unlimited continues shape the challenge, while close-range kills and consecutive defeats can earn additional bonuses.
