The game features a similar style and gameplay to the previous fighter Hopeless Masquerade. The word itself can also be more generally used to mean up-in-the-air or unfinished, as in the phrase "in limbo." The concept is controversial and is not an official doctrine of Catholicism. "Limbo" in Catholic theology is an idea that there exists a separate, less "damning" afterlife for those who died in the friendship of God but still in original sin because Jesus had not made their entrance into heaven possible yet. An "urban legend" refers to a modern folklore story, usually false, but believed by many regardless. If both players have the same amount of health and the same amount of Occult Balls, the round ends in a draw.īefore its first announcement with Twilight Frontier, there were only English words in its title. If both players have the same amount of health, then the player with more Occult Balls wins.

In the scenarios, the player can choose one character, where they'll go through a series of stages that contain a battle with another character, or in other words, a boss.īesides a health bar, each player has a spirit meter and a spell power meter. However, since all characters are constantly in flight and that there's no physical ground, movement is significantly different from a traditional fighting game. Two characters fight each other on screen with a variety of moves until one player's or opponent's health bar runs out or the timer reaches 0. Urban Legend in Limbo plays like a fighting game in most respects. This marks the first official Touhou game to be released on consoles.
