What players say

Players praise the music, art, and creative focus on underused Touhou characters like Rin Satsuki. The risk-reward hyper system and challenging, well-designed bullet patterns are highlights, though some find it harder than mainline Touhou games. Opinions split on the writing, with some calling it bland and others enjoying the humor.
