Few game series have managed to survive the ever-changing landscape of the gaming industry, from the early days of consoles to the modern age of live service. That isn’t to say series have ended forever, as companies love revisiting old series with new genres to make them relevant again. Still, the lackluster quality of those games hurts the legacy of said series. This is why the success of the Touhou series is such a surprise as the series has not changed since its inception and still manages to maintain a steady sales volume alongside a dedicated fanbase. A fanbase that now seems to be the one pushing the legacy of the series to new heights, as the upcoming game developed by the series veteran fans seek to bring the colorful cast of the games to a whole new genre. It is none other than The Touhou Empires, the game developed by Neetpia as a real-time strategy game, a first for the series, and a much-needed change to bring it into the mainstream.

They have also assured the fans that many of the major characters from the previous games will make appearances, and the game will also fit nicely into the timeline of the previous games ensuring the Empires isn’t just some soulless cash grab.

Sucker for Love: Date to Die For

Figure 4-1. Sucker for Love: Date to Die For

Horror is a genre that many gamers have lost hope in, as after its golden age in the early 90s it seems to now only feature cheap jump scares and cheesy writing. Or so was the case before indie developers got around to the genre and changed everything. Not only did they breathe new life into the genre they also made them terrifying by tapping into the primordial fear of man. It also didn’t help that one sub-genre of horror many indie developers gravitated towards was created for the sole purpose of preying upon man's forgotten fears. This was the Lovecraftian genre of horror games and the upcoming game Sucker for Love: Date to Die For uses aspects of the genre to scare the daylights out of the player, just as its prequel did. How does it accomplish this you ask? Simple it doesn’t rely on cheap jump scares and focuses on setting the tone and building up tension to the inevitable. This is a concept many developers seem to have forgotten as to the most terrifying moments are those that arrive when the player least expects them.

Sucker for Love: Date to Die For also introduces many new gods and beings that are inspired by the Lovecraftian mythos but with a unique twist that will have you fooled from start to finish. The art style and arty direction are other key selling points of the game as it is entirely hand-drawn and inspired by the 90s era, with a VHS-like grain effect which makes the game a full package. So if you wish to become lost in the insane world of love, old gods, and romance then this game is for you, get it now on Steam as it is exclusive to Windows.
