The "dude super complicated artistic bullet patterns that you have to micrododge through!" thing was pretty cool for the first like 10 titles but releasing 10 more that are just variations on that without any major thing shaking it up is kind of boring.

Really fun game. Wish there was a bit more balance to the shotypes and it wasnt as easy to screen clear during bosses. Pretty dark this time around, but it was a cool direction. Hope we get translations soon, curious what nina has to say
Gameplay is fun (I'm a shitter but I cleared it on normal with green1 + blue 1 narrow shot)
Music is probably my least favorite out of new touhous, it just sounds too somber especially that ending 1 music it's like xaki composed it. I liked stage 3, 6 and extra themes.
Story is convoluted like most of the newer games but I appreciate that he's ambitious with his writing
Characters designs are okay, need shoes

Honestly, I love this game, I was really concerned when HBM and UDoALG came out and almost thought ZUN lost his grip to make good games, but this one is awesome, I loved shottype mixing, gimmick and stage designs a lot.
Also if anyone's struggling with clearing, try these as your shots and green1 as main stone, optionally red2 as support, super easy run.

I just wish the boss spells and nons were a bit more engaging.
Asama's nons are the biggest offender of this literally the same shit over and over

Its better than that piece of trash touhou 19 for sure. The music kinda weaker, but i like how ZUN use organic drum samples just like the early windows game.

NINA IS IN
ZUN finally gave us a boss who reads schizo threads and posts back. Every line she says feels like she's about to log into Bunbunmaru and drop redpills on Kanako. I need that full translation NOW, I refuse to miss out on her 5D tinfoil ramblings just because I can't moonread.

In ZUN's mind the protagonists already fought Yorihime in Silent Sharter in Brap I guess
Its a shame because sisters in touhou tend to come in pairs
>click on touhou thread >no one ever posts gameplay/screenshots of game
I'm starting to think that no one actually plays these games. You just shitpost your waifus.

It's okay, the danmaku feels a bit hard this time with all the balls being churned around
Meira need some more tries to 1cc, I must be getting old
>click on touhou thread >no one ever posts gameplay/screenshots of game
I'm starting to think that no one actually plays these games. You just shit your diapey.

They'd be proud that such a disposable useless killing machine has found a new purpose as the cum receptacle for all of gensokyo. They'd also be proud to see that Eirin has managed to make new strides in medicine by studying the 5357 STDs that can be found in AIDSsen's body

Its tricky because she aims knives and arrows to you while the retarded IN stars bounce on the screen
My advise is to not hug the bottom and be mindful of what each bullet does
>>718472070
Reisen actually hates men, she feels disgust when she's even nearby a human man and crosses the street to the other side if she sees one walking along the same path.
>>718472975 >>718473248 >My advise is to not hug the bottom
This, hugging the bottom is a very bad habit in more modern 2hu games and this game in particular likes to punish you for it, I think even more than HSiFS does.
Try to moving past waves, and don't stay in one place for too long, try to path yourself left and right a bit to bait arrows and knives away from you.

Ehhhhhh kinda a bit? Maybe like one or two instances they have some similarities but it's most likely accidental as ZUN said in the notes he just threw stuff at the wall for her theme.
>>718477150
That one sucks so bad I blocked it from my brain to be honest
Homing fucking sucks in this game you are better off with either Red stone or Green1 both focus and unfocus
>>718477319
Ehhhhh depends on how you play, I think that's whats so great about this game - different people find different shottypes useful for their playstyles.
While I agree that Sanae snakes are kinda garbage, I think B1 is a bit better than in Demo, I keep it (for now) on my unfocused and it works great to do some additional damage while I rush to point of collection and back or during other situations like that.

Yeah its nice theres so much variety on the builds you can make
If you want to speed kill things both Marisa and Reimu have pretty good shots plus good pasives
If you want to play defensively moonie stone is great for erasing bullets and both yellows have great hypers for survival
Does anyone else feel that nu-Zun music is great to listen to in headphones. I've been thinking this since WBaWC and I don't even like WBaWC's style of angry spooky tunes
Aside from the actual tracks being good or bad, his modern music sounds so clean
its fun, its a lot of fun actually, after playing for a wee bit more i feel as if there more room to cheese in this game compared to other games (well maybe not 18) with certain gemmies and the fact that this game throws a billion bombs at you to make up for the more difficult gameplay glory to the CCP
