But is an official localization on the horizon?
Touhou Kishinjou: Double Dealing Characteris now available for Windows PC via Playism Japan.
Initially released last summer at Comiket 84,Double Dealing Characteris the fourteenth official entry in theTouhou Project, a prolific series of doujin bullet hell shooters with a passionate cult following.
Despite its popularity,Touhou‘s creator Jun’ya “Zun” Ota has been reticent to commercialize or distribute the series outside of Japan, making this digital release via Playism a significant deviation in behavior.
Speaking withSiliconera, Playism marketing manager Nayan Ramachandran said getting Zun to agree to the deal was a matter of persistence more than anything. As for a localized release via Playism’s western storefront, Ramachandran asserted he could “neither confirm nor deny an English version.”
I bet we see one sooner or later.
