Pretty fun mario kart double dash clone but touhou, just beware that this is a kart game the online is mostly dead, like most kart games released on PC.Which leaves us with time trial for asynchronous multiplayer and single player. definitely one of the coolest touhou fan games out there. dont mind the z-fighting (textures flickering) on the hell level though, its not your gpu,they haven't fixed that in like forever.

June 2024

One of the best Kart Racers I have ever played that I will never get to casually play with anyone cause my friends don't like Tou Hou. I have more hours on the Switch Port than I do here simply cause of convenience until I one day get a Steam Deck or similar portable gaming PC. This is essentially a Tag Team Hoverboard Racing game where you tag partners to boost at the cost of being unable to steer while doing so (like kicking on a skateboard). Drifting doesn't give you a boost at the end but you have less deceleration from a boosted state while drifting so it is needed to maintain speed. This cost meter on the character you have but you can only build meter on the character you aren't driving by going through rings. This means you need to switch frequently to go fast but carefully to manage resources which also determine if you can get items. Emptying t1 or 2 recource bars can get you items the strength of which is tied to how many bars you spent on it. This can be done many times and late game you can get access to a Character unique item called a Spell Card that is usually very impactful. Characters have different stats for how tight they drift, how fast boosting can get, how fast accelleration is, etc... The game isn't exactly well balanced as some combinations of characters will just be better racers than others but hey that's true in Mario Kart of the Karts and characters as well. I recommend this game to Tou Hou fans and Kart Racing enthusiasts that can get past the awkwardness of the Tag Hoverboard system. Not mechanical awkwardness, as the controls feel great. I mean the awkwardness of explaining to friends why you're playing the game where girls ride each other.

Solid Double Dash inspired Touhou Themed racing game. A little on the short side unless you want to dive into a discord-populated Multiplayer. (FYI there is a second "Campaign" after the first that's about as long as the first campaign, it unlocks more tracks and characters). Courses are (Mostly) fun (There's a couple minor spots in some maps that could use a little tuning and Misty Lake in particular is a little too kill-zone happy), The music slaps (It's Touhou Music, if it doesn't there's a problem!), The item balance is fine (and meter based so there's a bit more play and counterplay), and the "Driving" (Flying) mechanics feel great! Its fun to zoom along walls and ceilings, make tight street turns or catching some serious air! It Might be worth waiting on a sale if game length is a concern to you, but its more due to lack of content than any quality concerns.

This is actually a pretty fun racer. The fact that it has ZERO voice acting brings a small amount of soulless character to it. That aside, the game play has enough here to keep you playing (at least for the campaign courses and character unlocks) and inviting a friend (or two, if you're lucky!) to a couple versus races can be fun and rewarding.

Feb. 2024

Worth it at 30% off if you like grinding time trial, otherwise more like 70%. The story mode might as well not be there and the online for a 4 year old fan game is, well, you know. But it controls very well, most of the the stages are good and the music is fire, plus watching Alice Marisaboard around the corner doesn't really stop being funny. EDIT: game's more fun than I thought, actually. There's three things to keep in mind when switching: 1. Your two characters handle differently. 2. You can't steer for a moment while they switch, but every time they do you get a speed boost. 3. Switching takes a little energy and only the rider's gauge recharges. So to get the most speed boosts you actually wanna switch spam whenever you can, but in the end you still wanna be on the right one at the right time so you can speed around moderate curves on Marisa and make sharp corners on Alice. Except sometimes it's better to try and make the corner on Marisa while Alice recharges, because you need them both to have energy so you can switch spam again later. The constant three-way balancing act between handling, recharging and boosting makes for really engaging gameplay.
