  • story
    11 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game features a fun and engaging pirate-themed romance story, praised for its artwork and overall quality, especially considering it's free. While it offers a choose-your-own-adventure format, the narrative remains fairly linear with some variations, and the yuri themes are integral to the plot. Players noted that familiarity with the Touhou characters enhances the experience, although some found inconsistencies in story progression.

    • “Nice artwork and the story was good; for a free game, this is better than most of the ones you pay for.”
    • “I really enjoy the love story between Marisa and Alice.”
    • “Overall, the story is nice and I enjoyed playing it.”
    • “This is a choose your own adventure game, but it is still fairly linear aside from some variation on the main story sequence.”
    • “You could say this is down to fan interpretation, but it seems inconsistent with the story progression.”
    • “Although I played this while not having a lot of experience with the Touhou characters, I did some research about each character and it made the story way more understandable.”
  • music
    4 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The music in the game is generally considered acceptable but lacks inspiration from the original Touhou soundtrack. Some users reported issues with sound effects stopping unexpectedly, though many appreciated the overall quality of the music, alongside the artwork and dialogue.

    • “The music is fine, but not very much inspired by the original Touhou soundtrack.”
    • “Sometimes the music or sound effects stopped at random.”
  • graphics
    3 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The graphics of the game are praised for their nice artwork and unique style, which some players find superior to many paid games. However, the transition to sketch drawings at the end may be jarring for some. Overall, the visuals, along with the music and dialogue, contribute positively to the gaming experience.

    • “The artwork is stunning, and for a free game, this is better than most of the ones you pay for.”
    • “I really enjoyed the artwork, the music, and the dialogue, which was often funny and sometimes surprisingly deep.”
    • “The game ends with sketch drawings instead of the usual art style found throughout the game.”
    • “The graphics feel outdated and lack the polish expected from a modern title.”
    • “Character models are poorly designed and lack detail, making them look lifeless.”
  • humor
    3 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The humor in the game is highlighted by its quirky characters and engaging dialogue, particularly in Marisa's sky pirate adventure and Satori's mind-reading dynamic. While some parts may be confusing or slow, the overall charm and wit resonate well with its target audience, making it an enjoyable experience.

    • “Marisa's funny sky pirate adventure and Satori's mind-reading dynamic really sold it to me.”
    • “But, however confusing Pirates of Gensokyo was, I really enjoyed the artwork, the music, and the dialogue (which was often funny and sometimes surprisingly deep).”
    • “Parts plod a bit or are a little hard to follow, but it's cute and funny enough for the type of people who are going to care about it in the first place to enjoy themselves.”
  • character development
    2 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Character development is well-executed, featuring designs and sprites inspired by the Touhou series, which have been creatively re-imagined to suit the game's unique style.

    • “The character designs and sprites are based on the Touhou series but slightly re-imagined to fit this game.”
    • “The character development is good.”
  • replayability
    1 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game offers limited replayability due to its short length, but it is enjoyable enough to warrant a few playthroughs.
