Description
As the sole playable character, Sumeriko is trapped within a nightmare where Gensokyo residents consistently try to attack her with a variety of spellcards where she can only defend herself from them using her phone to take photos and post on social media.
Gameplay
With similar gameplay to past Danmaku photography games like Shoot the Bullet you control your character to take photos of bosses and their danmaku with the addition of being able to shoot other than just taking photos to defend yourself. However Sumeriko also has the ability to use powers like teleportation to aid in her photography. Featuring nearly every Windows Era character up to Hidden Star In Four Seasons with multiple spellcards each (some from previous games.) this means some cards feature two bosses together combining their attacks. In order to unlock new bosses you have to fill the Nightmare Diary to progress further.

Description
Plot Point: 
After a huge earthquake shakes up Gensokyo, Iku Nagae ventures out to find the source of the blast, using her incredible fever skills. 
Gameplay:
This is a cross between a bullet hell and rhythm game. This game is unique because of Iku’s fever ability, which allows her to graze through large waves of bullets safely without getting hit.
It’s ideal to press the key to the rhythm of the theme playing for points, extra lives, and efficient gameplay.
Iku has three shot types: Straight, which shoots directly in front of her, Wide, that shoots at a larger angle, and Rolling, which shoots in a circular motion around her. 
She also has three spell types: Bomb, which shoots a short range projectile that explodes on contact, Thunder, which zaps the closest enemy to Iku in a straight line, and Kaikou, which sends out homing projectiles onto her enemies.
When not in use Fever Time will regenerate by itself, but players can speed up charging by destroying the enemy and collecting dropped items. If player never loses a life since the beginning of the game and have maximum lives, the player will enter Revolution Mode which is basically similar to Donpachi's additional multiplier score sytem. If the player manages to unlock all secret bonus requirements on a stage, an alternative path can be traversed.
Iku can choose any combination of shot and bomb types. In addition, Iku has 5 possible movement speeds, selectable before beginning the game.
The player can earn achievements, depending on each level you complete  and the difficulty. In addition, there are secret achievements for performing  specific actions in each stage. After completing each stage, a boss stage will appear. Survive their attacks to make it to the next stage!

Description
Plot Point: (This is conjecture until a full English patch is released.)The Gacha collecting otaku main character has returned to Gensokyo, and this time he's staying full-time. Gacha become more commonplace in Gensokyo, and the SDM is hosting some sort of competition with them.

How it Works: Like the previous title, EVO+, this is a point and click game where you use money to buy gachas and spellcards for them to do battle with. New gachas and spellcards become available as the days progress. Some notable changes from EVO+ include the removal of the UFO system and the part-time job. Money is made purely through battle, and alternate costumes are bought in Kourindou instead of randomly received from a matching game. Instead of location based events, the story of 2nd progresses by exploring the areas on a story grid. Once a grid has been completed, the next one becomes available. After each battle, a gacha receives love points. These can be used either to level up your gacha up to 500, whereupon the gacha can be reformed. Reformation requires a level 500 gacha and beating that character's love rival down to zero points, then defeating a powerful version of that character in a Reform Battle. Reformed gachas start back at level 1, but with increased base stats. This can be done as many times as desired. 1,000,000 love points can be converted into "Wife Points". 3 wife points can be spent to make a character your wife, which gives them 50% bonuses to reforms and access to Wife Combination. Wife Combination, which costs 1 wife point, allows the spellcards of a secondary wife to be randomly integrated into the deck of a host wife. This can be done with different wives as many times as desired.

Extra Content: By meeting certain achievements, Ace Points can be gained and spent to increase the stats of characters that have been used over 100 times. In addition, the relationship with girls can be increased by giving gifts, and the amount of points to the relationship a certain gift will bring varies between characters. This will allow your gachas to wear certain alternate costumes. Finally, there is the King's Game, a series of 3 increasingly challenging battles against a character that forces them to progressively remove their clothing, unlocking alternate costumes for their corresponding gacha.

Evo Plus?:  Evo is the sequel to the original Touhou Pocket Wars; this Plus version allows you to acquire figurines of the UFO characters after clearing the main game.

Plot Point:  You are an otaku who in their spare time collects Gacha figurines.  These have attributes and can be entered into matches with others who also own some figurines.  One day, it seems your love for the Gensokyo girls enables you to end up visiting Gensokyo, using your Gachas to help them figure out some problems.

How It Works:  This is a point-and-click game.  You work a part-time job in this visual novel-ish game in order to make money to pay for your figurines (you don't actually perform the job like in "Fable;" you just click "Part-Time Work" and you make money).  This allows you to go buy your figurines and some spell cards for them; new character sets become available later in the game.  You can also enter into matches in order to earn Love (experience) which you use to level up your Gachas.  Your case initially holds only 8 figurines, but you can buy 8-slot extensions.  If you want certain figurines and/or to level up your spell cards to level 10, you'll be spending a LOT of money on the machines, hoping they randomly give you something you want, tossing all the stuff you don't want.

Other Notes:  If you're winning appropriate-rank matches, you'll get enough Love to level up each of the Gachas involved around 18-21 times per match.  This seems fast because the level cap is 500, which you'll need to reach by the time you meet the final boss.

Extra Notes:  Once you do get to Gensokyo, you'll be able to start interacting with the girls; this enables you to reform your Gachas if you win special matches (your Gacha will restart from Level 1, but with better stats than last time around).  This is mandatory if you want to clear some of the after-game bonus content.  In other words, the main game is easy enough to beat by assuring your main case or two of Gachas is level 500, but clearing the bonus content requires as much grinding as Labyrinth of Touhou's bonuses.

Plot Point: Flandre decides, one day, to go and visit her friends at the Hakurei Shrine. She arrives only to be told that Marisa's birthday is swiftly approaching. And so, Flandre must decide what to get her friend for her birthday...

How it Works: It's a standard VN (Visual Novel). Well, actually it's not super standard, as it's length is not the greatest.... In fact, to be quite honest, it's really short. Like really, you've been warned. it's a heartwarming story though, so why not play through it. I haven't said it yet, but there (if I'm remembering correctly) aren't any choices to be made. And if there are, they don't change anything. So you just click and progress the story.

How it Works:This game is a visual novel, so their isn't actually much gameplay. You read text/listen to the voices, and choose one out of two options every now and then. One choice will always give you a "Bad Ending" while the other let's you continue on in the story (besides when you select Reimu or Marisa).
Extra Notes: To Save anywhere in the game, hold the "Shift" key, and press any of "F1-F12". To Load these files just press the "F1-F12" without holding Shift.   EoSD for the Busy Extra
Plot Point: Like the first game, but with noticeably more Flandre. That is all. It's a completely different game, by the way. Not an expansion or whatever.

(Remilia, Flandre, Yuyuko)
Description
Plot Point:  Residents of Gensokyo have been invited to Remilia's tea party at the Scarlet Devil Mansion.  There they enjoy themselves and have a wonderful time.  Midway through the party, Remilia decides to depart to her room and rests for the duration of the day.  Eventually, she is woken up by noises during her sleep.  Curious as to what caused such ruckus, Remilia hastily invesigates the source.  She finally meets up with her colleagues and finds out that eveyone has been shrunk and the whole mansion has been twisted in architecture.  Thus Remilia decides to investigate this eerie incident and put an end to it.
How it Works:  You work your way through rooms which possess various puzzles and enemies you must traverse.  Basically the main secret to winning is opening chests (yellow dots on the room map; also not the case for Flandre's story) so that you can collect keys and other important items needed to open other rooms.  This game ensures that you practice the utmost vigilance as you must possess patience and fine dexterity to surpass the numerous obstacles.

Extra Notes:  After completing Remilia's route.  You will unlock the option of playing the "Extra" mode or "Clock Tower".  "Extra" is basically Flandre's route which tells her side of the story during the night of the incident.  Be cautious that difficulty is immensely increased but Flandre's superior power over her sister can compensate for that.  "Clock Tower" is a Time Attack mode which involves you climbing the clock tower (10+ floors) and and setting a record of how fast you can clear it.  Any of the three characters can used for this option; however, Flandre must be unlocked by beating the clock tower first.  This is also where Yuyuko tells her side of the story.

Plot Point: Utsuho has been spotted away from her post in the nuclear reactor.  This worries everyone's favorite engineer, who takes it upon herself to check up on the bird-brained girl.

How It Works: Is it or is it not about time someone made a game starring Nitori where your solutions lie in expert gadget usage to solve puzzles?  That's exactly what this is, and if you hated the boring feel and isometric perspective of Maristice, exactly what you've been pining for - Nitori starts with 5 Life and some weapon energy (which recharges itself), and finds both expansions for these and a whole lot of Tools that give her an increasing amount of ability - not only do you get a way to stun enemies (the Stinky Ball), but you also get useful tools from a Drill and some Bombs for getting through pesky destructible blocks, to her famous Extending Arm for grappling, to seemingly game-breaking tools like the Wall-Walk Shoes (they do exactly what you think) and the Water Jet (which also does exactly what you think).  Even the boss fights are mostly puzzle-based, solutions lying in forcing bosses to fall into their own traps or otherwise damage themselves (only the world 4 & 5 bosses are actual damage-them-to-death fights). 

Please Note: Though you do get a ton of helpful tools, and there're save points and signs with hints or other info all over the place, remember that although the game has a light atmosphere and starts easy enough to get you accustomed, it actually quickly becomes difficult, none of the tools are optional and multi-room puzzles are commonplace even early on.  The endgame is constructed ingeniously to make you use every tool you own in order to earn the last one and get to the final boss.

World 5 is a Bonus: If you collect 15 UFOs for Nue, she'll unlock World 5, which is a lengthy, self-contained challenge world - upon entering, you lose all your tools and must re-collect them within that world as part of the challenge (although if you choose to leave World 5 and go somewhere else, you'll get your tools back until you return), and will face Kaizo Mario-level challenge as you're forced to push your tool usage ingenuity to the maximum!

Description
Plot Point: It was a day like any other, Alice was in her home, reading, when Marisa came over. Marisa wants Alice's help doing something, so they head off. However, they hadn't gotten very far before a yandere (in-game description) Patchouli had cursed Alice because she wanted to ruin their date! Now Marisa's hat can't be taken off of Alice's head (Alice was wearing Marisa's hat because it was sunny outside)!

How it Works: Marisa & Alice is a puzzle game based off of "Mario & Wario". You use Shanghai to break blocks, hold Alice still, & to turn Alice around to help solve puzzles that will lead a blind Alice to Marisa, while simultaneously picking up gold stars (generally 3 per stage) that are used to unlock the boss stages.

Extra Note: "Lesson Mode" isn't actually a lesson or tutorial or anything like that. It's actually (as I believe) a harder challenge mode.

(Cirno)

For you people who know the game "Intelligent Qube" and liked it. This game is for you.
Description
There are nine stages and completing them all will unlock "Extra" mode. In extra mode, everything is the same EXCEPT your camera will not be a bird's eye 3rd person view. It will be at eye level behind Cirno in 3rd person. This severely increases difficulty and inhibits your ability. The only way to see a top view of the blocks at this point is to speed up blocks.

As you play the game, you'll be rewarded with coins which can be spent on several things.

* 3 Coins: Pause (If you do not have enough coins, the screen will go opaque)
* 30 Coins: Continue
* 15 Coins: Enhanced Mine (Press and Hold Z then X to change your normal Mine into an Enhanced Mine. This will also reduce your I.⑨ by 1.)   Plot Point
In the wet and cold lands of Misty Lake.  There lives a ice fairy named Cirno.  On a whim, she decides to partake in a game where it will determine whether she is a cretin or an ingenious sprite.

How it Works The goal of the game is simple.
* Destroy all of the blocks aside from the black-colored Forbidden Blocks.

* Destroying a green cube will place an Enhanced Mine where the cube was destroyed.  It will then leave a marked green spot in which you can detonate for a 3x3 explosion with it at its center.

* You will be penalized for destroying Forbidden Cubes or allowing other cubes to pass you and fall off the edge of the stage.
        - For each Forbidden Cube you destroy, a row of the stage will crumble.
        - For each set number of other cubes you let pass you, a row of the stage will crumble.

* You will be granted an additional row onto the stage if you manage to clear a wave of cubes flawlessly (no Forbidden Cubes destroyed and all other cubes destroyed).

* Getting crushed by the cubes will cause them to speed towards the end of the stage, only stopping for when you set off a mine, ultimately causing you to lose your Perfect completion bonus as well as possible rows due to failing to capture the remaining cubes.

* Completing the round above the limited turns will not cause a negative affect on the game.  It will only reduce your end IQ score.

* Once you destroy a block, the limit turn will start ticking so this gives you time to plan your moves.

*  The game is over if you fall off the edge of the stage.

This may not be completely obvious at first (or maybe it is, depends on you), but the artwork for the characters were done by different people. So yeah, that's why, say Satori and Cirno, look QUITE different from say Reimu & Marisa.
Description
Plot Point: Dunno really, besides the fact that it involves clones of some sort. So yeah, sorry. Also, I've never really done the story. Just the offline play.

How it Works: Well, battles are set up like a chess board, with your units on one side, and your opponents on the opposite. You each take turns moving your units and "attacking" your opponents. However, unlike in chess, when you move your piece onto an enemies piece, combat begins! This is where your units stats come into play.

Knowing your units' stats:

Card ( カード): When you are attack during a battle, your character draws a numbered card. They can possibly draw from 1, up to their Card stat.

Pow(パワ): If your attack goes through, it deals some number of damage in your Pow range.

Graze(グレイズ): This is I guess what you would call the defensive stat. When your opponent attacks, and for example let's say they draw a "4", if your Graze is "6" you take NO damage. At all. Attacks in this game are hit-or-miss. Note: Same number means a hit.

Life(ライフ): This is just simply your characters HP. After winning a battle, some HP is restored.

Joker:  You may notice that some units have a (JOKER) in their status menu. This means when attacking their is a, slight chance of drawing the Joker card, which is instant death for your opponent.

+1 Bonus:  This bonus is given to whatever unit started the battle. It temporarily, for the length of the battle, raises your Card stat by 1.

Spell(スペル): You may notice that some characters, after moving, have a choice of some sort. These are "Spellcards", and they can be used, mainly to either heal your allies, or to deal damage to your opponent. If you highlight the spellcard's name, then you'll be shown the range. Under the info box, a description will pop up telling you how much it can heal for/how much damage might happen. So, yeah. You'll see some japanese text in red, with a big "10-30" in it, which means it will deal between 10 and 30 points of damage. Red name= damage. Green name = heal.

Every 5 stages you are allowed to leave after you beat up that youkai. After 3, sometimes 4 or 5, boss fights in an area you receive either a Japanese version of "Your princess is in another castle" or you get a book. Mainly it is the former that happens. After gathering the books you win, blah blah blah usual ending here. If you played Tendou Blade then it is the exact same with prettier graphics.

Description
Concept: Reimu is lazing on the job (again) and without her knowing the Hakurei Border has been deactivated, letting in humans to ruin the dear and beloved land of Gensokyo, your job is to find out who did this and stop them before Gensokyo is completely transformed!
How It Works: Well this being a Mother game you walk around, going through different (and might I add weird) areas while fighting a wide range of enemies (some of which refer to memes). Boss battles are played out like normal battles except for you know it's boss because they have different battle intros to normal ones and the death animation is also different.   How To Install
Run the RPG2000RTP file in the RPG<Japanese Characters> folder, and change your system locale to Japanese somehow (such as through AppLocale).

Plot Point: Patchouli gets tired of Marisa stealing her books, so she creates an army of sentient puppets based on the residents of Gensokyo to guard her library. Marisa steals the information needed to create her own army of the puppets, and in a fit, Patchouli destroys both armies and the knowledge of how to create them. The puppets recreate and fill Gensokyo, becoming akin to pets.
How It Works: Since these are a set of Pokemon clones, the gameplay should feel familiar. The player starts off with a puppet and gathers more along the way, fighting their way through a series of dungeons and gyms before reaching the Elite Four and becoming the Champion. The same types have been kept, since these are the 1.5x versions of Touhoumon. World Link corresponds to Emerald, Another World and Puppet Play to Fire Red, and Marisa's Magic World to Ruby.

Description
What it is: It's simply a "Defense of the Ancients" clone with some extra content which differentiate it from the original game.

How it works: It is based on DotA, thus it is played in a similar manner. The goal of both sides is to make it to the opposing team's shrine and utterly destroy it however way possible.

Heroes/Girls: You are given a choice among 62 unique girls from the original game to represent the shrine you are assigned to. You directly control/command her, allowing you to utilize her abilities however way you wish.

Items: Weird. Just weird. These are used to help boost your  survivability in battle in a number of ways. Each Item is unique and it's important to note how some items are more compatible with your girl than others.

Neutral Monsters: Mostly fairies, really. You'll notice though that most of the regular neutral monsters you find are tributes to original Warcraft III characters, while others being iconic representations of fan culture and such.   Installation: This one's pretty simple. Just drop the file in the "Maps" subfolder located in your Warcraft III folder.(This is often located in 'C:\Program Files\[Name of folder]' unless installed or put elsewhere)

Description
Concept: A large cave sporting many different environments has popped up, and the girls are very eager to explore it! As time goes on, fake girls show up, and the cave is proving to have corrupting qualities. Think of Touhou Hack and Slash in terms of general gameplay.
How It Works: As noted from the title, this game is reminiscent of Blizzard's Diablo. You explore the one dungeon (the cave) and kill monsters in a hack and slash style. At first you control Reimu and Marisa, but you can swap partners with any of the girls in town and the other areas you will unlock. You can switch places with your partner as well, allowing you to build your own two-person team. Patches:
The game should hopefully be patched in English and with the Oni patch.

AKA Tenjou no Tempest - Suppression by Celestial. Lullaby for Gaia

Notice: The game triggers a false-positive on most antiviruses

Description

A bizarre phenomenon is occurring in Gensokyo when the land is ravaged by relentless earthquake. Tenshi Hinanawi flies down from heaven to investigate this incident and to relieve her boredom. Tenjou no Tempest, literally translated as The Tempest of Heaven and Earth, is a side scrolling action platformer adapting some elements of Touhou Hisouten. The game uses specific weather effects from ice, gusts of wind, thunder and rain. Every enemy has a specific weather effect associated with them, and killing an enemy by countering their attacks unleashes their weather condition. Also, most obstacles and stages must be overcome by using the proper weather effects.
There are four styles which can be fully customized to possess whatever bullet/spellcard type you wish. Important: Dashing through an enemy's attack animation will trigger a scarlet aura around the enemy. Attack the enemy with the Sword of Hisou to trigger a weather change effect. This is necessary at some points in the game to proceed. Scarlet mist on the ground are sources of large revenue. Use Sword of Hisou on them. You cannot activate them if you have full charge. Bosses sometimes will appear with different spellcards depending on how well you're faring. Taking multiple hits will result in your screen glowing red on the edges. This means you are close to death. To reverse the effect, you must stop receiving hits to regenerate constitution. Bullets/Spellcards can be bought with points that you have accumulated in the pause menu.

  Clear Data (included in download)
This goes in your Sengoku Gensokyo -> Save folder. Also, it doesn't overwrite saved game data, it just flags the game as cleared, unlocking the extra stuff:
* National Mode
* Difficulty Select for Story Mode
* Extras Section   Description
Plot Point: Yukari has distributed a letter throughout all of Gensokyo, setting rules for a team-based wargame for those who are bored of nothing but typical spell card rules, promising to grant any one wish for the team who wins.  Those who are weak individually but strong in a group decide this provides an excellent opportunity; others simply want to prove their points; still others want the promised wish.  But, for only the second time in Touhou history (the first being "Labyrinth of Touhou"), the entire Touhou cast is involved...because now, Gensokyo is at WAR.
How It Works:  This is a point-and-click strategy game (left-click to confirm, right-click to cancel); in the main Story Mode, generally speaking, you play the role of the Hakurei Shrine faction, and declare war, battle against, and capture the other factions' territories until you win by having the entire map under your control.  For all the details you could possibly need, go grab the Instruction Pack from the Extras section on the left.  This game may look something like "Risk" at first glance, but trust me: 1) it plays nothing like it, and 2) it takes a lot longer (Story Mode does, anyway).
Want Extras?
Clear the game.  Simply clearing the main Story Mode game unlocks all of the following:
* National Mode.  A setup that emulates a multiplayer experience; all regions start off occupied, and factions are no longer concerned only with you; they'll attack each other now as well.  National Mode comes with the bonus characters on the left (and thus some bonus factions, as well), and lots of ways to tweak things; you can set how many and which factions will be present and change their starting memberlists, and you also get to play as any faction you'd like.  National Mode can use characters you've created yourself in the game's Extras section.  To get to it, click "Start" on the main menu, and it will now ask you which mode you'd like to play (Story Mode or National Mode).
* Difficulty Select for Story Mode.  Was the default setting of Normal too easy for you?  Now when you start a new Story Mode game, it will ask if you'd still like to play Normal, or if you'd prefer Hard or Lunatic.
* Extras Section.  Check out the CG art, videos, and character art; you've also earned the right to tweak the statistics of the characters you can hire in both Story and National Modes, and can also create new characters for use in National Mode.  (When you start a new game, regardless of mode, it will ask you whether you'd like to use the official default data, or the edited data you tweaked.)  

Release Information
Type: Hero Defense
Developer: www.touhou.cc
Publisher: www.touhou.cc
Release: ???
Language: English(Patch)
Number of Players: Up to 5
Description
What it is: A simple Warcraft III Co-op Hero Defense map designed for avid touhou fans.

How it Works: Wave after wave of enemies will come and attempt to destroy the gate to Remilia's mansion. Your job, along with your friends, is to prevent them from succeeding by holding the line for two and a half hours.

Heroes/Girls: Very limited selection in this one. Understandable since there can only be up to five players in any one game (Not including the observers). Each girl has a specific and stereotypical purpose in any team combination.

Item/Recipes: The banners east of the central fountain holds the recipes for every craftable item. The merchants south west of the fountain and far south of the gate holds the purchasable items. (You can't buy items from banners, they only show the resulting items and their recipes)

Skills: There is a telepad close north of the fountain, use that to access the skill library. Skills are bouught and leveled with power. Power is obtained by leveling up or buying from the fountain.

Monster Waves: Becomes progressively harder as each one arrives. Do your best to prepare for each wave using items and your small arsenal of abilities.

Installation: This one's pretty simple. Just drop the file in the "Maps" subfolder located in your Warcraft III folder.(This is often located in 'C:\Program Files\[Name of folder]' unless installed or put elsewhere)


A Really Big Tip: It's practically impossible to win this game alone even with singleplayer cheats. You'd need at least one partner to tag along.
