Nippon Ichi Software America has revealed a crossover between Cladun X3 and Team Shanghai Alice’s Touhou Project, bringing series icons like Reimu Hakurei and Marisa Kirisame into the latest entry of the pixel action RPG.
Starting today, players on Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5 and PC can download Touhou characters reimagined in Cladun’s retro pixel style at no extra cost, with more collaboration characters confirmed to arrive in the future.
Alongside the character drops, a new Official World titled Hakurei Shrine is available to explore. Created with permission from Team Shanghai Alice, this bespoke locale offers a themed space for dungeon runs and experimentation with party builds and job setups.
For newcomers, Cladun X3 casts you as a villain drafted into a deadly contest in Arcanus Cella. Runs revolve around fast dungeon dives, avoiding traps, defeating monsters and recruiting allies, while the Magic Circle system lets you assign inactive party members to formations that boost a single controlled character and absorb incoming damage. The series’ hallmark customisation returns, allowing players to design characters and weapons across six weapon types and ten jobs – and more.
