Eh, given the standard roster of Touhou enemies is normally either the named characters, or generic fairies, having a random assortment of objects fight you mixes things up a little, so I don’t mind that. It also fits the whimsical nature of some Touhou plot beats + the Japanese folklore of cursed/possessed/transformed items that it often draws upon.
I was supposed to buy the CE of this a few minutes ago. Thankfully your review came in at the right time and I was able to dodge a bullet. I’ll probably pick it up once it’s cheap.
Ill deffinently pick this one up in a year or two to get the story. Just like their previous game, the combat looks only at its best during the boss fights.
That ending comment 😂 so savage, but so true. These games are fun, bu i never buy them right away at full price, i always wait for a steep price drop .
haha, yea, i just felt like there was no rush to play this. I also wish there was just a buss rush available from the main menu so you didn't have to do the dungeon parts lol
What makes me mad is that there a turn base rpg of this series on switxh that is really solid and it's yet to be ported over. Instead we keep getting mid
Original was the fan made one featuring youmu to defeat reimu. Official was scarlet curiosity featuring remilia doing stuff, basically just the youmu one remixed. This one I'm assuming might be reusing assets yet again and visiting some new locations and seeing more characters.
I played the demo, wasn't too amazing. Was just more of the same stuff from the first two games. Things still haven't really gotten too much better from those games tbh. Just some new or remixed areas and minor gameplay changes and additions. Still heavily reusing assets even from the fan made youmu game from many many years ago. Not the greatest but far fr9m the worst. I'd say around a 7 seems fair.
@@thequincy_ Touhou is a bullet hell. You could start with the Windows games at EoSD, read the print works (manga basically), or get into the music. There are good fangames too though, Luna Nights and the two Koumajou Densentsu games are neat

yea, it's supposed to be the yokai invading everything. I laughed when the vacuums attacked me.
It's also kind of a step back in costume design.
Using Marisa's UFO outfit is an instant penalty in costume design.

@@NoisyPixelNews no boss rush mode smh, that is a miss since those are often a lot of fun and challenging.
4:08 That's definitely a skill issue.
Just ordered the Asian English physical release for the Switch about an hour ago.
Perfect upload time for me since I work so late.
Love that they went with the Memories of Phantasm character design style. Its easily my favorite depection of the touhou girls.

May I ask what's the name of the previous game you are talking about? I'm so confused with Touhou games. Thanks for the review!
Touhou scarlet curiosity
@@anaveragegamer359 Thanks!
thanks for answering!

This was supposed to be my first Touhou game, but I think I'll start with Scarlet Curiosity
That works!
you should try the original touhou maingames aswell
Luna Nights is also great if you like metroidvanias
And of course the mainline danmaku or fighting games as well
This is a fangame, not an actual touhou game why start from here? lol
RIP I should have watched this before buying so I could wait for a sale that is better than 10% off
nah man it looks really fun and simple, tried it and form your own opnion since these kinds of games really depend on the person

I find it adorable and enjoyable.
I have been trying to get into this series.
These types of side games are not the way at all
@@TSRL_ZZCould you explain how to get into the games, play orders, etc? Heard the "Touhou" name but have no idea what genre the franchise is

Luna Night is probably the best for sure.
I personally had a lot of fun with this game
i think calling it not fun is a gorss exaggeration
