Basically the peak of Touhou fan games or very close to it, reccommend it for metroidvania or Touhou fans, heavily reccommend it if you're a fan of both. The price isn't much but if you find it too much you can wait for a discount.

One of my personal favorite metroidvanias. Doesn't require Touhou knowledge to enjoy, but if you do know about Touhou you'll enjoy the story a bit more. The time manipulation mechanics are super fun to mess around with. Only complaint I have: It's on the shorter side for metroidvanias.

Overall: B Every once in a while, you’ll come across a title which is a capital-g Game—tight controls, satisfying core gameplay, and a killer soundtrack. Touhou Luna Nights knows exactly what it wants to be and plays the roll expertly. Loud, dumb, and fun. The game plays like a standard metroidvania condensed to only the highlights. From start to finish, the game is only a few hours long unless you go for 100%. This spark-notes approach to games is fairly indicative of Team Ladybug’s design as seen in their other titles. While it won’t be able to keep your attention for more than a weekend, their laser-focused design always creates strong, evocative core gameplay. Speaking of which, the game centers around Sakuya (I had to look up her name) who has the ability to alter the flow of time. A core combat ability is slowing or even stopping time entirely which is used both in and out of combat to great effect. Different environmental hazards respond to stopped time in a variety of ways which is used to make the exploration more interesting. Eventually being able to create your own platforms during stopped time both opens the game up for exploration and helps marry the combat and platforming beautifully. As mentioned above the game has juice. Touhou’s music has long been a strong suit and the tracks help keep the energy high for the entire playthrough. Controls are responsive and the game encourages exciting, risky play through its glancing mechanic. Narrowly avoiding damage grants the player extra resources to use in combat meaning the most exciting way to play is often the optimal one. The story isn’t amazing but it is largely unobtrusive. I’m sure it would be more interesting if I knew anything about the franchise more broadly. At the end of the day, this is a satisfying game—like a great burger. It is amazing in the moment and will leave you feeling satisfied for a while after. Yet, you’re probably not going to think about that really solid burger a week from now. There is nothing wrong with that. Not everything needs to create a paradigm shift, some things can be good for their own sake, and that’s more than enough for me.

A metroidvania taking place in the Touhou Universe as the name implies. You do not need to know anything about the franchise to enjoy it but you probably will appreciate the setting and characters more if you are familiar with them. The premise is a decent excuse for the hijinks that ensue in the game in any case. The game's unique hook is the protagonist Sakuya's time manipulation abilities, being able to either slow or stop it to aid her during combat. It is actually very balanced and using it appropriately is a must if you want to make it through all the game's challenges. Another unique aspect is the "graze" mechanic. Rather than restoring HP and MP (needed for attacking) from pickups in the world, you need to get close enough to but not actually touch damage sources like enemies and projectiles, which will restore your HP and MP depending on what the source was. This encourages you to take riskier actions even if you are near death, and surviving thanks to this mechanic is very satisfying. The enemies are decent obstacles but as usual the real test of your skills comes from the bosses, that are both challenging and fun to fight. Add in some really nice art and music and you have a really great metroidvania experience I strongly recommend to fans of the genre and Touhou fans.
