LavvieTheKitsune Posted May 9, 2023 Share Posted May 9, 2023 Hi there, my name is Lavvie! I am very happy a place like this exists. I remember finding Touhou videos when I was a kid and falling in love with the pretty patterns. It quickly became a big hyperfixation for me, but I could not find anywhere to get the games. Fast forward to around 2019 or so and I saw some games officially up on Steam! I bought Hidden Star In Four Seasons as well as Wily Beast and Weakest Creature. I downloaded EOSD today and it is wildly different from the two games I got on Steam. I never really bothered to interact with the community, but rather was content to play games in my little corner. Now, my desire to make friends in the community have begun to outweigh the desire to be in my comfort zone. I am very happy to be a part of the Touhou community! 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The story is good for getting into the series as a kinda show off of some VERY basic characterization they have. The events and some new units are what keeps me playing, as the events are generally really well written and the new units are good besides all c3 units. Gameplay is also good enough but is best if you just use what you like and strategize a little Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got em a long while ago, though. :p Thinking of picking up Phantasmagoria of Flower View :3 Glad the games are on steam so people all over the globe can contribute to ZUN's beer fund! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like using the eagle! Eagle is fun, but I slightly prefer using the wolf spirit. Also, I get not being able to get past stage 3, but trust me, it's 100% worth it, WBaWC is potentially my favorite mainline game in the entire series and it's almost entirely down to stages 4/5/6 (as well as the extra stage). Oh, and I have a question, are you playing the games with the English patch, or just playing them in Japanese and using the wiki to get an idea of the story? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been having skill issues a lot. Touhou is my first ever bullet hell and I am still not used to how intricate it can be! Even then I'm in awe of how pretty the patterns are. I'm shooting for a no continues clear on normal, which is ambitious for someone still at baby level. Currently I do not have the two games I got on steam patched, but I got eosd and perfect cherry blossom off of here with English patches!

Fortunately Touhou is a decently easy series to get into relatively speaking, as you can start with basically anything other than SA/UFO/TD/LoLK and be mostly fine (and TD should be fine too if you don't care about story). Also, I'd strongly recommend figuring out how to get the Steam games patched, it can be annoying but a large part of why I love WBaWC so much is for its story and characters (even if the first 3 stages are kinda mid in that regard for me), so it'd be a shame to see that get overlooked entirely. And hey, if you can't figure it out, there's no shame in just downloading them off here too, you already paid for them after all. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've thought of using continues so I can at least see the final stage but if I remember correctly, the best ending is achieved through a no continues clear. I'll be sure to patch up my steam games so I can get the story, though! Are you able to get English patches here? I don't want to download the games again since I already got em.

Not sure, I've never actually had to apply the English patch myself. All I know is that thcrap (Touhou community-reliant auto patcher) is good for getting it set up, so you might want to look into that.
