Touhou Luna Nights is a single-player sidescrolling action game, inspired by 'Touhou Project' genre and designed with a tease of semi-Metroidvania style action.

As one of the successful example of game titles using Steam's Early Access fomula for game developing, Touhou Luna Nights was met with Overwhelmingly Positive reviews since after the initial launch date at 25 Feb, 2019, and eventually wins the "Best Overseas Game" reward at IndiePlay 2019 event, as well as relatively successful commercial results including the game hits 50,000 download on March 2019. Since then, Touhou Luna Nights has been ported to multiple video game consoles, such as Xbox One and Nintendo Switch in 2020, but one major complain for Steam players was, the Extra Boss "Cirno" not being simultaneously updated on Steam alongside the game's release on other platforms. This issue is eventually addressed in version 1.2.4.6 (the 19 Jan, 2021 update), as well as announcing the development of Touhou Luna Nights has been formally completed with a long development time period which begins from 19 April 2018.

The game was developed on Team Ladybug's Mogura Engine 2, which is a highly modified game engine built upon Game Maker Studio 2 presets.

Localizations

Language UI Audio Sub Notes
English
Script localization only; The used action/combat UI is only in English.
Simplified Chinese
There's an additional set of Chinese-specific UI added in the graphic data of ver. 1.2.4.6, but remains unused; the Chinese-specific UI has term naming problems as several terms in the unused Chinese-specific UI are drastically different from the terms used in Chinese script. The game still uses general International UI during action/battle if set language in Simplified Chinese - The action/combat UI seems to be designed for International UI in mind, force unused Chinese UI to display in-game will cause graphic glitches.
