Touhou 6: Koumakyou - The Embodiment of Scarlet Devil

Great game

Pretty good game, but where is the virustotal URL?

Reimu automatically moves to the left of the screen randomly?? how do i fix this?

thank you vro

i recently started playing touhou and I decided to start with this part. i liked this game :3
i'm glad I was able to find a safe website to download touhou

A game i started playing back in 2013 and sadly had to quit in 2014.
This game is perfect to introduce the franchise because it is a lot easier to newer versions like Touhou 13 where i couldnt even reach the first boss on easy.
Even after my almost 11 years old break from the franchise i still can say that this game really is easier than older game like Touhou 4 as example.
One thing i have to say which is bad is that you cant see your hitbox. This is the only downside of this game and honestly it is a big downside but its not SUCH a huge deal once you know where the circle hitbox is supposed to be.

Cirno is the strongest

ah, touhou 6! the first touhou game i played. Introduced me to touhou project series, as well as made me addicted to whole "bullet hell shmup" thing, resulting in me 1cc-ing every windows-era game except SA and PoFV.

truly a timeless classic, that falls into... "overrated but still good" category, with the most popular character cast out of all games.

Mechanics-wise, it's... quite easy to understand. All what you really need to do is just graze (Each star item gained from clearing pattern is worth 500 points + 10 points for every 3 grazes you have that stage) bullets, shoot enemies, dodge bullets, and get as much score as possible for getting the most extra lives.
extra lives are awarded at 10, 20, 40, and 60 million points.
oh, and the way deathbombing functions in this game is interesting:
you have 6 frame deathbomb window. Upon deathbombing, the deathbomb time window will decrease with amount of frames it took you to deathbomb, down to having only 1 frame, which resets after losing a life.

Difficulty-wise, it's... average. Would not say that it's too hard, but at the same time... it's not easy. Majority of patterns are RNG based, meaning that most of time you have to rely on pure dodging, but besides that, their density is not that huge. And Remilia is quite dissapointing for stage 6 boss.

Shot types:

ReimuA - Homing amulets that deal poor damage against bosses, but handle stages without any issues. Fantasy Seal... sucks.

ReimuB - Needles with low range that allow to deal good DPS. Way better than whatever was the mediocre mess that goes by the name of MoF ReimuB. Her non-homing amulets have arc though, so i guess, balance between stage/boss performance?

MarisaA - Missiles that deal good DPS to Bosses, bomb is... alright. Honestly never really used her that often.

MarisaB - piercing lasers and better range than MarisaA, both of which allow to have good balance between stage/boss performance. and the Master Spark is BUSTED!!! Only TD/WBaWC/UM master spark can be as powerful as EoSD variant.

Also, all bombs in this game auto-collect, so if you're at low power or can't reach POC line... then you can just bomb to grab all those falling resources! this comes in handy on stages2/4/6, giving how generous this game can be with resources with it's 4 starting lives/3 bombs, which with proper experience gives enough resources not only to abuse bomb auto-collect, but also still being able to take a beating without any serious issues.

EoSD is alright as an first game, and good one to be used as "comfort game" too. Not the best for a first game, but at the same time can teach quite a lot of SHMUP basics for beginners.

(also retexture patch gives off the "this will be ______ in 2016" vibes lmao)

This was my first Touhou game! I'm not very good at it, but it's interesting to play at the least! Thank you to ZUN for creating Touhou Project and thank you to the people of this site for adding these games on here despite the risks!

Que buena banda sonara tiene estos juegos

A lovely classic

I loved the part where they said "This was truly a Touhou 6: Koumakyou - The Embodiment of Scarlet Devil."

I get an error every time I try to launch the Japanese executable. I want to open the Japanese exe because it's the only way the game will save my controller rebinds.

W translation

Despite just recently getting into the fandom and the games (about a month now) all the music and games feel strangely nostalgic, I've heard other people say this before while also being new to the series, not a complaint at all, rather it gives the game a sweet feeling, especially opening up the main menu.

This game is so nostalgic

The game is really good, but sadly for today (03.13.25) the patch isn't working and the game is crashing :<
