How it feels

A fast, retro-inspired arcade shooter with a cute pixel aesthetic and a sense of quirky humor in its light story moments.

What players say

Players describe TCSTRIKERS1 as a free Touhou-style bullet hell with a large anime girl protagonist. It is very easy on normal difficulty, with a complete run taking about 30 minutes, but reviewers report a game-breaking softlock on stage 3 that prevents progress. Opinions split on the retro pixel art, which some call kitschy and others call low-quality.
