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.

my god are they fast

games with minimal or no DRM (Anti-piracy and copyright protection) get cracked within a few days or even instantaneously after release if the demand is enough

The english translation was completed yesterday so it's now included in the download. So far there isn't a Standalone Patch available, which we use in the other game downloads, so you have to apply it manually. The instructions are in "english patch.txt".

If you don't want to redownload the entire game you can just download the patch here https://www.thpatch.net/wiki/Touhou_Patch_Center:Download

My friend messed it up somehow and doesn't have an .exe file anymore. Anyone can help?

Some people mentioned that their antivirus removes game files due to a false positive. If that's the case they could try to make an exception for the game folder and see if that works.

Thank you for the response, we've got it settled now. My friend had the demo patch and didn't delete the whole game file, but now moved the patch in a placeholder and reinstalled it completely.

When I was training for some extra spells, my game crashed so hard that my only option was restarting the computer, and I lost all of my progress and cards :(

Will this give me viruses? also when will the english patch come? 

english patch has been released! and no, the game will not give you a virus. It is totally safe to play! delete your previous version of the game (if you had downloaded it previously) and redownload the game, The english patch should be called "th18 (thpatch_en).exe"

i think you need some directx thing to work it.
they removed it from microsoft store so its pretty tedious to download
there should be a directx folder where u gotta extract the contents there then something else
