tian nya has published an Early Access version of Elite Exorcist Miko on Steam. People worldwide can now purchase the Touhou Project-inspired bullet hell shooting game featuring Hololive Vtubers starting from $9.99 in the US.
As the title implies, this shoot ’em up game stars the elite Vtuber Sakura Miko. In a similar fashion to Reimu in the Touhou series, the player will control the shrine maiden Vtuber to traverse various stages while grazing through a bullet hell. The end of each stage will feature a boss fight against another Hololive Vtuber, each of whom will also have special attacks with exquisite bullet patterns akin to Touhou‘s spell cards.
The initial Early Access release features seven stages, six regular stages spread across three stage tiers and an extra stage. The upcoming full release is slated to have twelve regular stages in five stage tiers, and more extra stages are also being planned.
The indie developer has also placed 23 bosses who will appear randomly in each stage tier as of the Early Access launch. The boss roster includes not only Japanese Vtubers from the group but also Hololive English members like Amelia Watson, Ceres Fauna, and Nanashi Mumei, as well as Indonesian Vtubers like Airani Iofifteen, Kureiji Ollie, and Kaela Kovalskia.
tian nya has also published a new trailer for Elite Exorcist Miko on X:

Elite Exorcist Miko is now available on PC via Steam Early Access. tian nya plans to complete the game’s full release in 2026.
