Super cute, Super fun and comfy, art is good, some of the frog placement is geniunely evil(SDM) but overall well worth the 5 bucks

TLDR:
Story? Basically doesnt exist
Characters? Mid as ♥♥♥♥
Witty dialogue? Everywhere
Fun? The most you'll ever have

That aside this is PERFECT spectacle fighter material, the controls are kinda weird but the game runs smoothly dodging and fighting feel AWESOME plus its not oversexualized! The comments from in the game are always super fun to read, the backgrounds are just detailed enough to feel like a real city without bogging down performance, and the FEELING of OBLITERATING everything with perfect dodges and combos cannot be overstated THIS GAME ROCKS and I wish we could get more like this because THIS IS WHAT SPECTACLE FIGHTERS SHOULD BE.

I cannot recommend this enough, unless you're a story > Gameplay guy then go play Library of Ruina but for sheer gameplay this is ADDICTING i've finished the demo like 7 times

Considering Another Touhou Farming game is coming out which also favors the Aki sisters I'm going to put this here so people can compare the 2.

Then the game first came out I honestly liked it but every update since then has only made the game more annoying. To the point where it's not even fun anymore. If you slog your way to repay the Moriya gods then you can finally experience what the game has to offer but im my experimentation because you NEVER know what the next goal is you just spend half the season completing the goal they gave then the other half towards making money. There is no point to engage with anything else fishing building even EATING it is more worth your while to slow yourself and the game down to a crawl and once its all said and done you play the minigames maybe twice and never touch the game again.

The other farming is also being made by Mystia's Izakaya devs one of the best touhou fangames ever made so its no contest. Skip on this one

Let it be known I really like this game and the Souls series, God Eater, and Code Vein..

HOWEVER

This has the DNA of Elden Ring, not Code Vein, so the bosses are not "difficult but fair" they're RNG BS as some attacks are quite literally unpunishable and everything tracks you non-stop. And no where is this more Clear than Holly's Amusement Park boss where it should be easy given she dies in like 2 hits but its RNG to get those hits because she summons an elite enemy which requires 100% of your attention while she fires homing projectiles across the arena.

I love this game, its an open world soulslike with some fun spells and weapons and the overall game is great but SOME bosses geniunely make this game a pain and not fun at all some were clearly rushed with no playtesting or regard for balance.

Pretty fun, Slightly repetitive, good synergies and almost every character is great

Not pay 2 win, but yeah getting characters takes a while

Easily my new favorite Touhou fangame.

I wrote more about the game as a whole in this guide here if you want to check it out: https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3588949574

Overall, I love the roguelike formula and I love the ways characters are portrayed here. Plus the upgrades and build variety is quite fun even if the overall loop is simple.

Theres enough mechanical depth to keep you there for a while, and some achievements are super specific. for 10 bucks and being a touhou fan this is a deal!

I will say there are some balancing concerns(addressed in the guide) but overall its fine nothing hampered my enjoyment too much.

If anything does ever get added to this game, I want it to be Takane being playable. It would be so cool to see a way to unlock her and she needs love, plus her model already exists!

TLDR: Game crashes a lot for me, And game feel just feels off

Got this from a friend and I simply can't recommend it, It looked pretty cool I was excited, reminded me a little of Ultrakill but the Movement is so floaty and clunky, occasionally wallrunning from standing still. Game balance overall feels off like my character's gravity changes when I dive or slide. on top of Actual balancing like weapons and such with ammo being a constant problem and enemies placed basically everywhere and I swear you can still get hit when performing stunts even when the game says you can't be, I got decently through the first bit of the campagin before mass crashes started happening and now It can't even launch. Currently troubleshooting but if you think this is a bargain for roughly 1 dollar I won't stop you, just know what you're getting into could potentially be a mess

Takehime my beloved, I can only hope you get more and more skins in the future

Give me a Rey Dau heavy Bowgun

(Game is good tho)

For a ♥♥♥♥ tier meme game its honestly good but don't expect anything, 90% of the being able to hit, dodge, or even RUN the game is pure RNG fun for 30 seconds thats it
