Touhou Luna Nights is a Metroidvania title with a heavy emphasis on exploration and action. Developed by Team Ladybug, creators of multiple fantastic action games thus far.

Sakuya Izayoi, maid to Remilia Scarlet, is sent to a strange world resembling Gensokyo with her time-manipulation powers sealed. She must explore its rooms and face its inhabitants as she seeks a way forward.
Run, jump, and fight through a side-scrolling world filled with enemies, projectiles, hazards, and bosses. Sakuya throws knives, slows or stops time to evade attacks and set up strikes, and uses time-based effects to solve platforming puzzles. Getting close to enemies or their attacks without being hit can restore HP and MP.
New abilities open routes and reveal secrets across the map, while upgrades and sub-weapons offer more ways to approach fights and obstacles. The game also includes additional content after the main adventure, including a boss rush.
Players often praise the inventive use of time manipulation in combat and puzzles, along with engaging boss fights and responsive action. Pixel art and music are also recurring highlights, and several reviewers say the game is enjoyable without prior Touhou knowledge. Common reservations include the short campaign and relatively limited or linear exploration; some also find certain skills overpowered.
