Touhou Pocket Wars

About

Touhou Pocket Wars is a strategy RPG where you collect and upgrade gacha-style figurines featuring characters from the Touhou Project. You battle in turn-based tournaments, using spells and abilities unique to each character. The story follows an anime-loving otaku whose obsession with Gensokyo leads to real-world challenges. You manage a team of gacha figures, each with distinct skills, and progress through increasingly tough matches by refining strategies and enhancing your roster. The game stands out for its deep customization and tactical combat. With over 50 playable characters, fans of the series will recognize familiar faces and spells. While the art and sound lean into a casual anime vibe, the gameplay requires careful planning and resource management. Since its 2009 release, it's gained a dedicated following for its creative take on the gacha genre and faithful representation of the Touhou universe. Available on PC, it's a niche title that blends RPG progression with strategic depth.
