In Gensokyo magic is considered outdated and people are starting to use monsters in battle. Developed using same game engine as Touhou Soujinengi, Touhou Monsters Card is a mini RPG where the player will travel to various places and dungeons to collect more than 400 monster cards. The battle system shares similar mechanics with the Saga and Pokemon series. When there are no monsters in a player's field, they'll receive a direct attack. Monster cards can be obtained by winning battles or exploring available locations. The developer also provided online features and allows player to duel via their Twitter account.
