  • Excellent fast-paced, action-focused gameplay with smooth and responsive controls, inspired by classic Ys games.
  • Engaging boss fights that incorporate the bullet-hell roots of Touhou, complemented by a great soundtrack and humor.
  • Well-done remaster making a previously obscure game accessible on PC, offering good value and fun for Touhou fans and score attack enthusiasts.
  • Very short game length, which may disappoint those looking for more extensive content.
  • Some annoying bugs during boss fights, including stunlock issues and hit detection problems.
  • Platforming sections can be frustrating, as the game tries to incorporate platforming despite it not being well-suited for that style.
  • music
    5 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The music is highly praised for its energetic, fast-paced style inspired by classic Ys games and Touhou melodies. It enhances the gameplay experience with memorable, dynamic tracks that complement the action perfectly. Overall, the soundtrack is considered a standout feature that adds significant value to the game.

    • “The dialogue is funny and endearing, the music is a banger, and it's generally just a really solid (albeit maybe a bit too easy for some) short game that delivers a lot for just $5.”
    • “Almost a 1:1 remaster of the classic 2011 Youmu game, still featuring the same energetic soundtrack by Sound Sepher to accompany you slicing and dicing your way through this silly little adventure.”
    • “Zero filler, just fast-paced action inspired by the Ys series but with Touhou music.”
  • gameplay
    1 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The gameplay is praised for its well-balanced and finely tuned boss encounters, enhanced by the absence of RPG progression mechanics present in later entries. This design choice ensures challenging yet fair fights throughout the game.
