Game summary

The first part of the Touhou fangame series: "Gensou Shoujou Taisen", based on Strategy RPG "Super Robot Wars" franchise. This game retells Embodiment of Scarlet Devil --the sixth Touhou mainline game-- with the trademark red mist acting in the beginning as the catalyst for plot development; however, there are surprisingly many plot twists, character developments and cameo guest appearances from other games as well as portraying a prologue to Mountain of Faith's story. Altogether, the storyline is beautiful and much more rich in drama compared to the original Embodiment of Scarlet Devil.

Play Fantasy Maiden Wars: Scarlet on Mac with Parallels (virtualized)

The easiest way to play Fantasy Maiden Wars: Scarlet on a Mac is through Parallels, which allows you to virtualize a Windows machine on Macs. The setup is very easy and it works for Apple Silicon Macs as well as for older Intel-based Macs.

Parallels supports the latest version of DirectX and OpenGL, allowing you to play the latest PC games on any Mac. The latest version of DirectX is up to 20% faster.

Our favorite feature of Parallels Desktop is that when you turn off your virtual machine, all the unused disk space gets returned to your main OS, thus minimizing resource waste (which used to be a problem with virtualization).
