绯红编年史 ~ Chronicle of Scarlet ~ is a Touhou Project fan-made RPG built around the tower-like WWA format. Players take the role of Flandre Scarlet, a member of the Scarlet vampire clan, as she and her sister become entangled in a struggle over the seeds of divine power. The story’s choices can lead to different endings.
Combat uses turn-based battles, but the design emphasizes planning and calculation over conventional JRPG grinding. Players develop talents and skills, assemble equipment, and combine their effects to tackle enemies. A repeatable challenge mode offers a way to gain levels and resources, softening the genre’s usual risk of a single mistaken move undoing a run.
The game’s scale is framed by a long-form adventure, with hundreds of maps, distinct campaigns, and numerous boss encounters that reward finding opponents’ patterns. Multiple talent branches and a wide range of equipment support different builds, while harder modes offer additional challenges. The result is a tactical RPG that pairs a substantial fantasy story with layered character-building choices.
