  1. I think both of the Phantasmagoria games are quite fun. Sure, they're a bit clunky and difficult to control since one of the main gimmicks in PoFV is mapped to either Shooting or Focused mode, and doing it too much would harm you rather than help you, but I've had quite a bit of fun otherwise. I don't think it's a perfect game, but nothing is. To enjoy something more, you need to be able to see the bad in it. Sure, the music is great and the characters are wacky and zany, but the game does feel sluggish and almost unplayable to mostly anyone new. I'm kinda on both sides of the spectrum here. I think they're fun, but there are often times where I'd just want to play other Touhou games. It's enjoyable to a degree.
  2. I've been having the same problem. Doesn't help that it's my favorite track.
  3. Don't worry! No matter how much you drink, you'll be alright! We're here to cheer you on! No matter how many spirits you'll miss, you'll clear it!
  4. Game is easy. Beat it first try. It's glitchy and the music is meh, but a fun time passer indeed. Shinmyoumaru's survival and last spell can consume my foot though
  5. slept through the whole fight
  6. Game will not run at all. Tried installing DirectX and all-around fiddling with it, but it doesn't seem to work. Every time I click on it, it loads, but doesn't work.
  7. Pros and Cons +Game is fun and exhilarating to play. +Remixed BGM of Embodiment of Scarlet Devil, giving it more of a modern feel. +Game isn't as difficult as the description makes it out to be. Whether you're someone who's beaten EoSD or is a newcomer to this sort of thing, it's fit for you. +Even though it looks kinda retro, it's still beautiful to this day. +Every character and enemy fully modeled? Heck yeah! +It even has a 3D Background for the title?! -Title screen is sometimes laggy, and sometimes not. You have to pray you don't get the laggy one, as it is very slow and janky. -Game kept crashing after Stage 1 on a lesser model computer. -Render distance + non-focus = blindspot danmaku. While it's easy to get used to holding the shift button, it's hard to let go, as you can barely see upcoming attacks. ~Rather nitpick-y, but there's no English Patch. Final Thoughts Game is fun, not too much to it. It's still EoSD when you get to the center of it, but it's 3D. While the jump from "Time-Stop in 2D" to "Time-Stop in 3D" (probably) feels jarring, it provides a fresh perspective on the game itself. It honestly deserves a bit more attention than it has right now, and that's from someone who doesn't downright love EoSD (not even a top 5 for me...) Score Design: 7/10 - EoSD menu to it's core. HUD is very out of the way, which is a double-edged sword. Bullets: 8/10 - While I don't know if it's 3D Modeled or not, they still look good in attacks. Characters: 7/10 - Once again, EoSD. Was almost a five for my least favorite character being here, but from the screenshots, they look nice. Gimmicks: 6/10 - The statement "they move on their own" in the description is inaccurate. You can move in all dimensions. Arrow keys are up, down, left, right, as you'd expect. Z is to move backwards and A is to move forwards. There are a bunch of other buttons that do things, but you can't really tell what until you properly test it. Otherwise, solid movement, and easy to understand (moving-wise). Overall: 8/10 - That's some Aya-grade work in the description, ngl.
  8. Perhaps I need to stress the fact that I rarely play on Normal anymore. I play this on Hard and Lunatic, mostly. I played Easy to see if you can unlock the Extra with it (which, by the way, you can), and I played Normal with everyone. Otherwise, for fun over completion, I play Hard and Lunatic.
  9. Game is great if you like the pichuun sound. Fun to play, with a better UFO mechanic. Only downside is that it's unnecessarily brutal. I'm aware that the game takes place in hell, but Stage 4 has a Boundary of Wave and Particle set of nonspells and cheap shots. Along with it, Stage 5 has some cheap patterns in the spell as well. Stage 6 boss was only fair because of spirits swarming the battlefield to assist you.
    This song is amazing. I definitely think that the original songs are really, really good on their own, and it's always nice to know something didn't make the cut. Though, Maribel's Theme is on the more creepy side. I don't mind it, but it caught me off guard. All in all, a great listen for passing time, and I wouldn't change a thing about it.
  10. The file itself is not working. I am able to download it just fine, but I am unable to open it.
    This game gets difficult, but it's not supposed to be easy. It's very tough because your opponent wants you dead, and fast, but you (being the amanojaku, Seija Kijin) have a couple of tricks up your short-sleeves! You're equipped with items to help you pass through and get you to your end goal, which is... who knows? You eventually find yourself facing Gensokyo as a whole, and you end up dying... a lot. This game is harder than it looks. Your cheating isn't all too good, so you don't get to do as much.
    This game is beyond amazing! The soundtrack is nice, the stages aren't too unforgiving, it's a great start for any new player. The game itself does what it is meant to do: play like a Classic Era game. Not only that, it gives the unique twist as to what the games are like.
    This "soundtrack" was surprisingly great. It's a shame there's only two tracks, but other than that, they got me hyped for... uh... reading about spell cards. Okay, not the most exciting thing, but still, a great listen.
    I got this game straight from the Shrine Discord as soon as it came out. I highly recommend playing it, even if you don't know Japanese. The game itself is extremely solid. Not knowing the plot yet isn't all too bad, since it gives you a bit to interpret, leading to a wild world of imagination. It reminded me of playing as Hatate in Double Spoiler. The game is great.
    This game is extremely fun, up until Scene 3. Then, it gets insanely difficult. This game is NOT recommended for anybody just now getting into Touhou. This is almost to a Touhou 15 level. As such, this game gets way too difficult way too fast. Other than that, it's a good time waster. King of Death Approval Rating: 3/5
    I found this tool to be very useful. Sure, you could always just make a folder of all of your Touhou games, then look into it to find out what you have to play, but that takes way more clicks then just simply opening this, giving it a quick glance-across, then going "I want to play this one," just to click it once and have it open in front of your very eyes. The only problem with it is it hasn't been updated in a few years. Therefore, it only goes up to Legacy of Lunatic Kingdom and stops, but that's besides the point. It's extremely useful when it comes to launching games. (Plus, the Fan Games tab is really useful for anything that's Touhou related. It's insanely useful if you have a lot of Fan Games, but you have no clue as to where you should put them.) ~King of Deaths Approval Rating: 5/5.
    This soundtrack is amazing. It fits every character, while staying in the "Touhou Fighting Game" boundaries.
    This is one of my favorite OSTs for any Touhou game, and that's saying quite a bit because I like a lot of Touhou OSTs. The songs on this are mostly character themes, but that's okay. I get why they didn't put the whole OST on there. The game itself has a lot of content, and seeing the songs fit every situation perfectly amuses me. I won't mention any scene for spoiler reasons, but you may play the game for yourself.
