Feb. 2025
Getting into this game, I was in a Touhou rush and wanted to play different kinds of Touhou fangames really badly. I was skeptical about buying this game as I had doubts it'd be fun as it looks-- or that it looks as bad as it can be; because admittedly, judging from the trailers, lack of reception and overall what this game has to offer-- something felt off about this game where I can't exactly describe it. It felt like "a polished unfinished game" or how I would like to describe it, "a well-crafted working mod for an entirely different game". While it is now in a "full release" state, it really felt like on both paper and face-value, it's a tech demo of what could've had more. I see a lot of comments that Sky Arena is arguably a better game and comparing them side-by-side, that does seem true as the overall feel and style of the older game kind of works much better than this, I've seen old clips of Valkyrie of Phantasm where before they had the concept of the Valkyrie armor with the old maps seemed like a muuuuch better game compared to now, and I still feel like that's a little true. So I hesitated at first but after a full week of debating, I decided to bite the bullet and try it out firsthand. For the first few hours, I was still left skeptic, I even wondered if it's a good idea to continue past the two hour mark of trying out the game in fear of me suddenly feeling like this game doesn't have a lot to offer and I'd rather refund it until I pushed through in hopes that I start to grow on it. Luckily, I have. It's one of the most fun games I've ever played in a while with a combat that may feel a little restrictive and limited, to the point figuring out combos and ways to play, tinkering with the abilities and spells made it much more addicting. While it's not exactly the game with the most booming community, regardless, it does seem like the people that support the game is still responsive and does take their time to enjoy it with others as well, playing it online against other people was one of the most enjoyable things in this game. I'm not a big fan of competitive games especially online games since I consider myself to be more of a casual, but I can genuinely see myself getting addicted to playing the online mode of this game with a bunch of friends. It's hard to recommend this game to a non-Touhou fan and to the majority of the public, but I can genuinely see this as a very fun game to try and suggest it to anybody who would like a taste of a more action-y different spin to the Touhou IP. The story is subpar, it's not the best but it's not unbearable either. The biggest selling point of this game, honestly, and the only reasons why I even bothered to try it is because Hong Meiling is a playable character and as well as Clownpiece, which are two of my most favourite characters. Even moreso when I learned that the voice actresses of Yuuko Aioi, Nijika Ijichi, and Fern from Frieren is here- and I just find that really fun, knowing that some of the characters here are reminiscent of the characters I enjoy very well. Regardless, I still stand on my comments about this game looking a little "clunky" and "weird" at times, where the game feels like it was something made on the Dreams game or a Roblox remake; but the gameplay is enjoyable enough to look past it. It's still hard for me to decide if it's better to be left alone or to be recommended, but I think most people can find the enjoyment out of it if you were to lower your expectations coming into it.

This game has a great cast of characters with fantastic voice actors that suit each characters unique personality. I enjoyed listening to the character interactions in Story mode and thought the incident idea was pretty cool and unique. The Power armor weapons they fight with all look pretty cool and I think are well designed. This game's soundtrack is also amazing! Seriously ALL these tracks JAM. I also think that the combat is enjoyable and easy to pick up and learn. Once you get the hang of the controls it feels good to play. I do hope to see more characters added as DLC and would also like to see some more stages added to the game. It's a Good game.

given that it's still in early access, this is a pretty decent game for most Touhou fans

Try not to be demanding on an EA stage game... but Cost for defence are generally low while melee benefits being extraordinarily high, makes it more like a melee fighting game than a STG which you may be expecting from a Toho project game... my motivation of refund was I realise myself melee using Marisa.... Besides the melee hit feedback is not idea either, if not awkward at all... Playable characters are very limited, but apparently the developer has been trying to make all characters some unique combat styles. However, as the melee benefits are so high, eventually you would decide to go melee (unless of course if you are a Marisa or Pachy fun...) I would expect more from a "combat flight" game. On its current stage, it makes me wonder why a Z-axis is necessary for this game? I saw a little difference from attacking above or attacking down in this game... Please comment if you know better on this. The story was... okay but a bit wired to me? apparently the armours have some effects on people's mind? Otherwise, both Remilia and Meiling appeared to be a bit abnormal to their characters Again, this maybe just me. Display is rough for a game in 2022. Background everywhere reminds me of Lineage 2 ~ era games. Bullets animation were fancy! but hell no you melee your way out regardless.... Overall, playable and you can enjoy it if you can. Fair price for the game and therefore recommended; you may expect more but it would depend on future patches of this game...
