Here’s an overview of the game, via Steam:
Touhou Hero of Ice Fairy is a 2D bullet hell action Touhou Project fangame.
In this Boss Rush game, the player steps into the shoes of Cirno, the Hero of Ice, as she embarks on a journey against evil, liberating Gensokyo and saving her dear princess.
- High-mobility Fighting – Move freely on the battlefield and engage in exciting danmaku battles!

We recommend you play the free game Touhou Hero of Ice Fairy: Prologue first to understand the complete story of the game. In the prologue, Cirno will journey to the rumored Scarlet Devil Castle to search for the princess’s whereabouts and take on the Scarlet sisters’ “warm welcome”… The prologue and the main story are independent games. Story in the prologue will not be repeated in the main story.
