Hey everyone!

I'm incredibly excited to finally announce that:

Touhou Bansho Cards is officially available on Steam!

The game launched on October 26, 2026, at 7:00 PM PDT / 10:00 PM EDT (October 27 at 10:00 AM, UTC+8).

To celebrate the release, the game is currently 10% off for a limited time!

Touhou Bansho Cards is a Touhou Project fan-made roguelite deckbuilder focused on explosive combat, endless combos, and creative deckbuilding.

Play as Reimu Hakurei, Marisa Kirisame, or Sanae Kochiya, and venture into the mysterious Bansho Card Corridor. Collect Spell Cards and spirit dice, experiment with different builds, and discover powerful combinations along the way.

Chain cards of the same type to build increasingly powerful Combos, multiply their effects, and unleash devastating attacks that push your damage to ridiculous heights!

Beyond the battles, you'll also rescue the girls of Gensokyo, spend time with them, deepen your bonds, and gradually uncover the truth behind the incident.

It's been seven months since I first started working on Touhou Bansho Cards, and I've developed the entire game on my own.

As a solo indie developer, seeing something that began as a simple idea finally become a game that people around the world can play means a lot to me.

Throughout development, so many of you have supported the game by following its progress, adding it to your wishlists, playing the Playtest and Demo, and sharing your thoughts and feedback.

Your encouragement has genuinely meant so much to me and helped me keep going.

There are certainly things I can still improve, but I've poured everything I could into bringing this game to life.

To everyone who has shown interest in Touhou Bansho Cards, thank you so much. I truly appreciate your support!

The official release doesn't mean the end of development.

I'll continue keeping an eye on bug reports, listening to player feedback, and doing my best to improve the overall experience.

If you encounter any issues or have suggestions about gameplay, balance, or anything else, please feel free to share them in the Steam Community.

And if you enjoy the game, I'd be incredibly grateful if you could leave an honest Steam review. As a solo developer, every bit of feedback means a great deal to me.

Most importantly, I hope Touhou Bansho Cards brings you plenty of fun, satisfying battles, and memorable moments in Gensokyo!

See you in the Bansho Card Corridor!

Thank you again, everyone!
