Touhou Cannonball

About

Touhou Cannonball is a mobile board game where players guide a roster of beloved characters from the Touhou Project in competitive matches. The objective is simple: accumulate the most Cannonball points by strategically navigating a grid-based board and outmaneuvering opponents. Each match plays out in turns, blending resource management with tactical positioning. The game also includes a story-driven mode that unfolds through illustrated scenes and animated Live2D sequences, offering context between matches. Developed by Quatro A and published by Aniplex, it launched in September 2019 for Android and iOS devices. The game’s charm lies in its mix of straightforward mechanics and character-driven storytelling. While the core loop of collecting points and battling rivals is easy to grasp, deeper strategies emerge as players learn each character’s strengths. The animated visuals and familiar cast appeal to series veterans while keeping things accessible for newcomers. With its compact design and focus on single-player progression, it’s a title that fits short sessions without sacrificing long-term engagement.
