【定番】東方Project原作各作品レビュー!! 上海アリス幻樂団

[Classic] Review of each work based on the Touhou Project!! Shanghai Alice Illusionary Orchestra

Hello everyone. This is Akiba Hobby's PR representative!

Akiba Hobby carries all of the original Touhou Project games!

This time, several staff members will be introducing each piece! (Applause)

 

Purchase Touhou Project original games here !

 

Touhou Koumakyou

The first and memorable Windows version of the Touhou Project!

This was ZUN's comeback game after not releasing a shooter since he entered the workforce.Stress at workI'm full of motivation.

As the title suggests, it's a 21st century extension of the 20th century barrage STG, and you can enjoy the atmosphere of a revival of arcade STGs that are no longer seen in game centers.

Newer titles may be easier for beginners to pick up because of the lack of recovery from the top of items, no hit detection display, and no enemy markers.
The apparent difficulty level is high, and it seems like the level increases dramatically from around the fourth level.

But I think I can clear EXTRA. (←carefree)
*If you're stuck on normal no-conquest mode, try increasing the residues and bombs in the settings!

 

Eastern Fairy Dream

The spring-gathering Shinra Barrier System allows beginners who tend to make mistakes to hit more bombs,
Advanced players can earn points.
The type of bomb changes between low and high speed, making it easy to clear!

Includes a difficulty level even higher than Extra, Phantasm, exclusive to Youyoumu!

This work is well-known for having the most beautiful bullet hell scenes in the history of Touhou.
The production is also quite elaborate!

In contrast to the Western-style midsummer Scarlet Devil Village
The Japanese-style midwinter Youyoumu was very memorable.

 

Oriental Everlasting Night

Humans and monsters work together to face the strange phenomenon!
A classic development in which you can use bosses and servants from the previous game as your own aircraft.
Once you clear the game you can use it alone, so you effectively have 8 units!

The 6th stage has branching routes! You can challenge difficult spells by acquiring spells!
We deliver a volume that will surpass anything else!

There is a wide range of difficulty in the barrage, but you can practice a lot with the "Spell Practice" function. Aim for no-contest clear!

Extra has elaborate songs, background stories, and bullet barrages!
But I'm sick of Imperishable Shooting!

 

Oriental Flower Reflection Tomb

It's been a while since Touhou Yume Jikuu that we've had a competitive bullet hell shooter !

It's the Twinkle Star Sprites System!
Even though it's called a battle, it's a test of endurance, so if you keep sending bosses at your opponent, you'll win!

Even if you don't play against other players, the story, music, and CPU difficulty are all excellent, making this a recommended game.

Recently, the number of online battle events has been increasing, so why not try looking on Twitter etc?

It seems that store clerk M is quite strong.

 

  

Oriental flower stickers

The main character is Aya Shameimaru, a traditional fantasy novelist !

Aim to be the best newspaper reporter in Gensokyo!

The goal of this game is to dodge the barrage of bullets and capture the boss.
Actually, you can take pictures from surprisingly far away, so it's not as difficult as it looks!

A video of ZUN playing the game is available on Nico Nico Douga.

 

Touhou Fuujinroku

Defeat Moriya Shrine, the new force that has arrived in Yokai Mountain!

This difficulty level is recommended for beginners too!

The specifications have changed dramatically since then.
You can sense a lot of modern Eastern elements here.
It's easier to clear because you can drop a lot of bombs.

The final barrage of bullets from the last boss is tough, but once you get used to it it's a lot of fun.

I'm sure I'm not the only one who felt disappointed when glaring at the bullet barrage didn't increase my score.

 

Oriental Dili Palace

This game is a lot more challenging than the previous one...!
There are a lot of bullets, the enemies are tough...

The famous Koishi Komeiji makes her first appearance here!

Cats appear throughout the second half of the game, so it's recommended for cat lovers.
It's up to you whether you'll love cats more or hate them more.

 

Purple's teleport to the edge of the screen, Alice's bomb shot, etc.

This work makes you realize the importance of creating patterns when it comes to danmaku.

 

Oriental Star Lotus Boat

If you've never seen a UFO, there are plenty flying around here!
This is Touhou's first Ventler system, and by collecting three UFOs you can get bombs and ships.

Furthermore, the enemies are tough.

I definitely want you to experience the atmosphere from the 6th stage.

Ahh... the world of law is filled with light...

 One of the tricks is to control the UFO and overcome obstacles along the way.

Oh, I generally don't take blue UFOs.

 

Double spoiler

This is the work in which Aya Shameimaru's rival, Hatae Himekadou, appears!

We'll be heading in for a surprise interview with the Touhou all-stars!

Needless to say, this is highly recommended for those who are crazy about bullet hell.

However, since it's a boss rush system, it might also be recommended for people who don't like the hassle of the process and beginners...maybe?

You can enjoy the sound of Mugen no Kane until it becomes traumatic for you.

 

Great Fairy War

Cirno challenges the three mischievous fairies! She also challenges Marisa!

According to ZUN, the music from the book "Sangetsu-sei" could be used as is for a STG.
It really has become a shooter game.
Also, since it's from Cirno's point of view, the barrage is a bit difficult... A special system can freeze the barrage, but there are times when it's better not to use it...?

There are 3 stages and 6 different routes, and it's up to you to decide which one to start with!

A deluxe edition featuring Makoto Hirasaka as the character's character!

 

Eastern Divine Spirit Temple

The story continues from Seirensen.

There's no way there's a first stage boss like you!!!
Youmu has had a makeover with blunt bangs.

The theme is "greed", so if you cling to your desire to live even if you get hit, you'll naturally be able to whittle down the enemy's HP...

You can also enter trance mode on your own.

When you acquire a spell in Easy, Normal, Hard, or Lunatic in Spellpla

You can try overdrive! Let's give it a try!

 

 Be sure to listen to Desired Dream that plays during the credits...!

 

Dongfang Huizhen City

 

Levels 4 and 5 are notoriously difficult, but is level 3 the hardest yet?
The barrage of bullets that interferes with control and hit detection may be the most addictive part of Touhou...

Would you rather flip your neck or your monitor?
Maybe try turning the keyboard upside down?

You can see tools unique to this piece that were influenced by the magic mallet.

By collecting a certain number of items above, you can get bombs and pieces of your own aircraft! If you try to collect it too greedily, you'll end up getting hit...

 

Bullet Barrage Amanojaku

The main character is Onijin Seija, the mastermind behind the Kishinjo Castle incident who has become a wanted man!
The first Touhou game to feature an item system! Use cheating items to escape from attack!

There are as many correct answers as there are types of items and combinations you can make!
It's actually a puzzle game. There are cases where you don't even need to avoid it, so it's the easiest to clear in Touhou's work, so I can proudly recommend it to beginners!

Try the no-item strategy and become the ultimate rebellious lifeform!!

 

 

Touhou Konjuden

The story finally leaves Gensokyo and heads to the moon!
Didn't Bougetsusho teach you a lesson?

In perfect mode, you can try again and again until you can complete a short span without mistakes.

However, the fundamental level of difficulty is so high that no matter how many times you try, you may not be able to break through. Great for barrage practice. Until 0/99+...

The Udonga story is a must-see! Will she continue to play an active role as a rabbit on land?

 

Oriental Sky Zhang

The same character will appear as the boss in stages 6 and EX for the first time!

See for yourself what has changed!

 It's been a while since we've seen Cirno's ship.

Equipped with a unique system called Seasonal Release. Early action is important.

There will be a lot of barrages of bullets from below, so special training may be required.

In Lunatic, there is a way to keep the season open almost forever and earn points...

 

Hifuu Nightmare Diary

 Usami Sumireko is the main character!

Use teleportation and telepathy to dodge the difficult barrage of bullets!

The main objective of this work is to defeat enemies while taking pictures.

There are various support features such as automatic revival and teleportation!

It's difficult to master the many operations you can perform...
Teleport in particular has a unique feel to it.
Start by getting used to the startup and end of the invincibility period.

 

Eastern Demon Beast

The second Touhou bullet hell shooter game using the Bentler system

This time it's easier to control than a UFO, which is a relief.

Collect animal spirits to power up the main character! Become unrivaled in this bullet hell game!

But what if you get hit too many times?

In STAGE 6, you can enjoy an exciting development that breaks the conventional wisdom of bullet hell STGs!

Who is righteous and who is evil?
The complex and intricate story is also one of its charms!

From now on, if you complete all the achievements you can see the ending at any time, so why not try to unlock them all?

 

Oriental Honglong Cave

Buy cards and use other people's abilities!

Being able to buy ships and bombs along the way is just like Fantasy Zone.

The experience varies depending on the card
You'll want to go around again and again!!

By the way, Senmata's spells have a lot of durability.
As you avoid them, you'll gradually get high!!

Bulletphilia's Black Market

Marisa is finally the main character!

This is the latest release in the Touhou Project!!!

It's a system similar to modern roguelikes where you decide on your equipment and avoid waves of bullets!

 As the story progresses, there are many elaborate productions where the development of the stage changes depending on the cards equipped.The cards that appear for the first time are also very attractive, making it a work that you will never get tired of!!

Aim to complete all cards!
