The Genius of Sappheiros: Weekend is a doujin jRPG, based on the Tōhō series. It is a reworked version of The Genius of Sappheiros incorporating the
The Genius of Sappheiros: Lingering Summer Heat add-on, as well as several small changes, like a re-balancing of the rates for dropped items and better optimization. This is also the only edition of the game to have an English fan translation.
In this RPG the player controls a group of girls, like Reimu, Marisa, Sanae and Aya (four characters at the start). Many elements are inspired by the SaGa series. They need to explore various locations, like a bamboo forest or the Scarlet Devil Mansion, and fight against various enemies and bosses. Just like the girls these are Tōhō characters, the first tutorial boss is Hong Meiling for instance. Battles are turn-based, similar to the early Final Fantasy games. The player chooses the attack for each heroine and later they execute commands. In the menu several formations can be defined.
