[Review by Clerk S] Getting Started with Touhou Now - Bullet Hell Action Edition
hello everyone.
This is store clerk S.
This time, the title is "Getting Started with Touhou Now - Bullet Hell Action Edition".
Introducing the original game of the Touhou Project!
About Bullet Action
Among the Touhou Project works by Shanghai Alice Genrakudan, works in collaboration with Twilight Frontier are being developed as a bullet hell action series.
This series is based on a fighting game rather than a shooting game, and incorporates the danmaku style that is the essence of Touhou Project into an action game.
One of the attractions is that many characters appear and you can enjoy many conversations between characters.
In addition, the bullet hell action series uses arranged versions of the songs played in the original shooting game, allowing you to listen to those famous songs in a different way.
I want to play the original Touhou Project game! But I'm not good at shooting games...
For those people, we recommend trying out Touhou Project from this bullet hell action series!
From here, Clerk S will introduce selected items from the Danmaku Action series!
Oriental Dream ~ Immaterial and Missing Power.
The 7.5th installment of the Touhou Project, Touhou Suimusou, is the first bullet hell action game.
This is the first appearance of Ibuki Suika, also known as the Night Parade of One Hundred Demons.
The system from this work has been passed down to later bullet hell action works.
In addition to the standard elements of fighting games such as movement, jumping, and guarding, there are two basic types of techniques: striking techniques and shooting techniques.
The biggest feature of the bullet hell action series is Glaze System.
You can dash and jump to avoid the shooting techniques, which feels great.
While recreating the original shooting game Graze, where you avoid bullets by grazing them,
By incorporating it into an action game, a unique gameplay has been achieved.
In addition to Ibuki Suika, 10 characters appear in this work, ranging from Touhou Koumakyou to Touhou Youyoumu.
Conversations between characters are full of sharp exchanges just like the original, and are irresistible to fans.
The story mode is moderately difficult, but even on Easy mode it's still challenging enough.
It's hard to even see a good ending.
One thing I would especially like to recommend about Touhou Suimusou is the opening song "Suimusou" that plays on the title screen.
It's a beautiful song with a mysterious and tranquil atmosphere that makes you want to leave it on the title screen and listen to it all the time.
Eastern Scarlet Weather Rhapsody.
Touhou Project Vol. 10.5 "Touhou Hisoten" is the first story of Tenjin's Shogun's daughter "Tenshi Hinanai" and Ryugu's messenger "Iku Nagae" Works that appear.
Based on the system from Touhou Suimusou, a new deck system and weather system have been introduced.
The deck system allows you to choose the skills and abilities you want to use from a large number of options, making battles more strategic.
There are 15 characters appearing. There is enough volume as all the characters have their own stories.
Touhou Hisoutensoku ~ Chase the Mystery of the Super-Dreadnought Ginyoru
Touhou Project 12.3 “Touhou Hisoten” is based on Touhou Hisoten.
In this game alone, there are only nine characters that can be used in battles,
If Touhou Hisouten is installed, the number of characters that can be used in battle will increase significantly to 20.
Therefore, it is best to have both Touhou Hisoten and Touhou Hisotenzoku.
The battle system has been further refined since Touhou Hisouten, and it is the most recommended work for those who want to enjoy bullet hell action as a battle game.
Dongfang Ping Yihua ~ Antinomy of Common Flowers.
Touhou Project 15.5 "Touhou Yureika" is the first appearance of the god of plague "Igami Nyoen" and the god of poverty "Igami Shion".
This is a battle system based on aerial combat that continues from Touhou Project 13.5 "Touhou Shinkirou".
The best feature is that it uses a tag battle format where you choose two characters from a total of 19 characters, and there is plenty of interaction between the characters.
The recommended point is that you can see the interactions between these rare combinations.
The production of the story mode is also very good, and the climax of the story where "Tonight is an aloof egoist (Live ver.) ~ Egoistic Flowers." is a must-see!
Be sure to try out this bullet hell action series!
