The value story

The lowest price on record is $8.99, set in February 2026. Its cuts run 50 percent off as a rule. There have been 21 in the 3 years tracked, about 7 weeks apart. Today it is at full price, and its last discount ended 8 days ago.

Value puts it in the top 28 percent of the games it competes with. It is pricier than 90 percent of its genre, and better reviewed than 85 percent. Among the games that feel like it, Crypt of the NecroDancer ($14.99, scores 88) beats it on value, while it beats Beatbuddy: Tale of the Guardians ($9.99, scores 37).

23 of the 710 Steam-purchase reviews sampled here come from buyers who refunded the game, sampled from reviews written February 2024 to August 2026. That is more refunded reviewers than 8 in 10 paid games this site has sampled to the same depth, and among the 2,814 games in its genre sampled this deeply, 568 have a larger share. Inside the two-hour refund window, 70 percent of the 565 reviews written there were positive, against 82 percent overall, and those are 25 percent of everything written about it. It sells extras on top of the sticker price (free-to-grind); the score docks it lightly for that.

5.7 hours to finish it, 47 to exhaust it. The completionist tail is 8.2 times the campaign.

What players say

this game *should* spark joy in me but unfortunately it doesn't. i love touhou! i love the artists featured! i love the songs! so i guess i can chalk it up to a few reasons : a) i would probably enjoy this more playing in touch controls mode (not very possible with my device) b) i really struggle with playing/enjoying 6 keys c) playing 4 keys instead of 6 keys, on top of all of that, makes me feel like i'm missing...

fairly standard rhythm game, what you see is what you get, the danmaku mode gimmick isn't that focused on, most of its stages are rather easy compared to the normal 6key/4key mode that being said the story mode is really cozy i liked it

I heard about this game when it was still a Japan only mobile game and as a fan of Touhou music, its nice to see this getting a steam release after the mobile version shut down, albeit slightly changed I'm assuming. It has a story mode so there's that and the music is good as ever and the experience is decent enough. There's also the option to switch between 4 key and 6 key charts in addition to the different...
