The gameplay is praised for its fast-paced, addictive, and rewarding roguelite hack-and-slash combat, featuring fluid controls, varied characters, and meaningful progression with diverse builds. While some find the parry mechanics unintuitive and desire more character options or deeper tutorial explanations, the core gameplay loop remains engaging and satisfying, with well-designed boss fights and frequent updates improving performance. Overall, it offers a polished, gameplay-focused experience that appeals to both Touhou fans and newcomers alike.
“The gameplay is smooth and feels great; the gameplay loop is challenging but rewarding and doesn't get old with all the variation in builds that you can choose throughout your run.”
“The bosses are a perfect blend of Touhou and action, with their signature bullet hell patterns present but also action elements incorporated; each boss being different from the last, and the combat mechanics being challenging but also satisfying, with fluid and intuitive controls.”
“All of the playable characters are very unique; the gameplay is simple and smooth, and I like the little voice acting.”
“While the gameplay loop itself can become repetitive, as there's not a lot of variation to spice things up other than minor things like increasing the difficulty or debuffing yourself, there's a lot replay value provided with how powerful you can make yourself on repeated playthroughs, true to its genre.”
“Played more, parry sucks, which is a shame, I got some slight Furi vibes from Youmu gameplay but parrying is so much worse than other options, it's just more risk, less reward and feels clunky needing to start a charge attack!”
“It's a neat hack and slash but there is little to no variety and the gameplay is very repetitive.”
