gameplay3 negative mentions

The game offers a fun and enjoyable gameplay loop, especially in co-op mode and with friends.
Recent patches have improved balance, hitboxes, movement smoothness, and added quality of life features such as shops and consistent healing before boss fights.
The art style and music are appreciated by some players, providing a cute and pleasant atmosphere consistent with Touhou themes.

The game suffers from numerous bugs including level design issues, blocking glitches, unreachable chests, untranslated or incomplete power-up descriptions, and occasional crashes on some platforms.
Gameplay can feel unbalanced with bosses having more speed and freedom than the player, and earlier runs being too easy or overly forgiving, reducing challenge and excitement.
There are design and thematic inconsistencies such as generic enemies that don't fit the Touhou universe and overuse of generative AI assets leading to a lack of visual coherence.

The gameplay is generally enjoyable and offers a satisfying loop, though some find it generic and lacking unique features to distinguish it from similar action roguelikes. It shares notable similarities with other recent titles, which may affect its originality.

- “This game is very fun to play with a satisfying and enjoyable gameplay loop.”
- “In terms of gameplay, the game felt too generic, with nothing really new to differentiate the game or make it stand out compared to other action roguelikes.”
- “We got Touhou Russian Roulette and Touhou Brawl within less than a month, and now a new game, Escape from Touhou, within Q4 2026, with notably similar gameplay to Touhou Brawl.”
- “Most, if not all, of the games I have played, I always had a tendency to enjoy, even with any faults I may have come across during gameplay, and wouldn’t warrant an entire review.”

story

grinding

Players find the grinding early in the game excessive and repetitive, with enemies and bosses posing little challenge as they barely reduce the player's health, leading to monotonous combat.
- “So much so that even in the early game, I felt like I was grinding through basic enemies without any sense of danger; any enemy or boss barely dealt a sliver of my HP to the point where I was just spamming shots while still running into bullets.”
replayability
1 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
0% positive mentions, 100% neutral mentions, 0% negative mentions
Replayability in Touhou Brawl is somewhat limited and heavily dependent on having a decent rig for smooth performance, which affects the overall recommendation.
