Jan. 2025

Remilia is the main character. 10/10.

Nov. 2024

got all of the achievements under 13 hours. once you get used to the game, it's relatively simple and fun. a met a few bugs here an there(screen froze, had to restart the computer), but this game auto-saves, so i didn't lose any progress. the graphics are really nostalgic, remind me of games from early 2000's, and the music is also quite nice. cool challenges, fun farming. an awesome game overall I also love Remi

Nov. 2024

A good fun game. Story: Following either Remilia or Sakuya, barely any difference aside from dialogues from Remilia or Sakuya. The Scarlet Devil Mansion was attacked, and so one or the other set off to investigate the rumors. This is due to them being blamed for the for the monster. System: A simple hack n slash type, with a leveling system to it. Reach the right level and you'll unlock either a regular skill or an ultimate. Remilia: Remilia is better at platforming, and faster movements. Her attacks are more wide range, but on a smaller scale. She is typically one on one though, which can make battles slow. Sakuya: Sakuya now, is the better out of the two, far better. She is both fast, and decisively attacks both one on one, and a massive range. Her attacks are devastating, making short work of enemies and bosses. Difficulty: Main story is pretty easy. However, post story content is more difficult and provides more of a challenge. That's really when the projectiles starts to get quite a lot. Art Style: Pretty good. Music: Amazing Overall: Really good game, but Remilia needed work, her style is very tedious. Sakuya is much more fun to play.

Nov. 2024

Not a particularly hard game. It was pretty fun, but I wouldn't buy it at full price. The game is pretty jank, combat feedback can be a tad rough, and the last achievements to 100% can be somewhat tedious. I did enjoy it though which is why I could 100% at all, kind of simple as that. Made for a great Steam Deck game.

Music? Great Gameplay? Easy to pickup, can be choppy Touhou? Touhou Graphics? Its impressive for fanwork Difficulty? Suffer All in all, good game, but like don't expect this to be a rare gem
