Description

The story of this game is about mysterious cards, which seem to contain the secrets of various humans and youkai.

Unique Gameplay Mechanics
This Touhou game has a completely new mechanic. The game features Ability Cards (56 of them).
Most of them can be either equipped or bought at a shop menu that appears at the end of the stage.
At the beginning of your playthrough, you won't have many cards unlocked, but as you progress through the game, you unlock more cards.
There are 4 types of cards.

- Active Cards
  You can use them at any moment you want, by pressing the C key, if you have multiple cards, you are able to change between them by pressing the D key.
  Most Active Cards have cooldown periods after using them, which prevents you from using them.

- Equipment Cards
   Equipment Cards give you additional shots, bonus shot types.

- Passive Cards
  Passive Cards give you things such as, increased spell power or abilities to gain more resources under specific circumstances.

- Item Cards
  Item Cards give you more money, Power Points when purchased or collected from enemies that drop them.
 They cannot be equipped at the beginning of the playthrough.

The main Life, Bomb and Power mechanics remain unchanged. You need to collect life pieces to get a life, same with the Bombs.
Max Power amount is 4.00, small Power points give you 0.01, while enourmous ones give you 1.00.


Prologue(Taken from an In-game manual)

    At the Hakurei Shrine.

Marisa:
    "Reimu, take a look! What do you think this is?"
Reimu:
    "This looks like a card with a drawing of that idiot on it......?"
Marisa:
    "Try holding it."
   
Marisa Kirisame handed Reimu Hakurei a card with a drawing of Cirno.

Reimu:
    "This is cold! Were you cooling it or something?"
Marisa:
    "This card has Cirno's magical powers contained within!"
Reimu:
    "Then the rumors might have been true."

    The rumor went that mysterious cards called Ability Cards were circulating about,
    and that these cards contained the magical powers of various humans and youkai.
    And, it was said that dealers of these cards were already lurking all over.

Reimu:
    "The fact that these cards are in our hands must mean the rumors are true."
Marisa:
    "Yeah. I suppose this is an incident... right?"

    Not knowing the purpose or make of these cards, she went to investigate.
    She'd first need to find a card dealer.

i don't use another antivirus myself, so umless you can whitelist those files on your antivirus, you gotta disable it.

I seem to have a problem with my touhou 18 and where it wont load and I get a window that says "application error". Does anyone know what the problem is and/or how to fix it? For the record, I've tried reinstalling the game and file to try and fix it but it doesn't work.

oh hey, I've had that problem with some other touhou games. I usually just restart my pc and it's fine by the time I try to play again. I'm unsure what causes the error, but you can try checking if there's any files being blocked.

is it safe to download?

why did the virus scan detect TWO?? ?

That just means that two out of 59 engines detect something, probably due to the way they operate compared to the other listed engines. You'd very likely get similar results if you were to scan the official steam release of Touhou 18.
Members had a more detailed discussion in the forums about VirusTotal detections for Touhou games but we lost the topic after making changes to the Nitori's Workshop section.

I'm getting an error where I can't run the game. A little alert pops up saying "windows can't execute [path to the game]". I've seen this happen with other games and it's usually fixed by turning off an antivirus, but I tried that and ran into the same problem. Any advice?
