What players say

Players overwhelmingly say this is a top-tier Touhou fangame and a Slay the Spire clone that stands out with colored card costs and character-specific mechanics. Many praise the art and music, but some complain about slow animations, long runs, and bosses they find unfair. A few note the game has been updated slowly, and players are waiting for the promised character Alice.
