What players say
As someone who has played, uhh... Let's see... Maybe a few Touhou fan games..? This is definitely, has to be, one of the best, without a doubt! All of that, AND I only had to pay $5 for this game..? WOW, what a deal! (Just don't listen to my friends, they MAY have hated this game... Can you buy new friends for $5 too..? ... I-I'm just kidding, of course.. L-Love you guys... Oh, yeah, and a bunny, too!)
2 more reviews, 1 not recommended
The sequel for this is coming out soonish so I thought I would revisit it by playing the Seiran (Zero) DLC for it. This game is a huge love letter to Touhou including PC-98 stages and characters which is huge. It is pretty difficult but rewarding, much like other Mega Man games.
From bosses with no challenge at all to bosses with less than half a second to react to the attacks. Some stages can be cleared in a minute and a half, and some take over 10. Bosses can only take one damage every three seconds, so fights drag on for way too long. and if that wasn't enough, some bosses gain all of their HP back partway though the fight, doubling the already way too long boss fight time. Say I'm just...
