The music in "Touhou Meijinka ~ Song of Divine Tempest" is described as mediocre, which aligns with expectations for a free mobile game. While the game incorporates themes of music and divine power, the overall quality of the soundtrack does not stand out.
“They seek to spread the religion through the land by a giant thunderstorm (representing God's power) and a concert (to bring happiness to mankind through music), which brings the attention of Reimu.”
“The music was mediocre, but that's expected; it's a free game.”
“'Touhou Meijinka ~ Song of Divine Tempest' is a trashy mobile app tier bullet hell/shmup game ripping off the Touhou intellectual property.”
“They seek to spread the religion through the land by a giant thunderstorm and a concert, which brings the attention of Reimu.”

The graphics have received mixed reviews, with some users criticizing them as low-quality pixel art that detracts from the overall experience, while others appreciate the modern graphics and smooth controls in fast-paced gameplay. Overall, the visual presentation seems to be a significant point of contention among players.
“The game features fast-paced action with modern-day graphics and easy controls, seamlessly moving from location to location.”
“The visuals are stunning, creating an immersive experience that truly enhances gameplay.”
“The attention to detail in the graphics is impressive, making every environment feel alive and engaging.”
“This feature is really godawful, lazy pixel crap 'art' instead of real graphics.”
“It's hard to say if this was because the developer didn't have the skill to create 3D visuals, or couldn't afford to hire someone who does, but it also doesn't matter.”
“Games like Terraria and Stardew Valley succeeded despite the bad graphics, not because of them.”

The game's story is described as strange and convoluted, featuring plot twists and a connection to religious themes through the character Raiko, who participates in a concert. While some players found the narrative intriguing, others chose to skip it, focusing instead on the enjoyable bullet hell gameplay. Overall, the story may appeal to those interested in deeper lore, but it is not essential to the gaming experience.
“Probably has some cool story for those who are interested in that.”
“Pretty neat little arcade bullet hell shooter; I did not understand the story behind it, but the gameplay is pretty fun.”
“This game's plot is weird.”
“After a plot twist or two, it seems Raiko (extra stage boss from Touhou 14: Double Dealing Character) is a part of these religious people in the church, playing for the concert too with her drums.”
“Pretty neat little arcade bullet hell shooter. I did not understand the story behind it, but the gameplay is pretty fun. If you like bullet hell or Touhou, you may enjoy it. It's free after all, so give it a try.”

The gameplay of the Touhou fangame is described as a mixed experience, with some players finding it fun and engaging, especially for fans of bullet hell shooters, while others criticize its design choices as flawed and in need of better balance. Overall, it offers a decent arcade experience, particularly for those familiar with the genre, and is accessible since it's free to play.
“Pretty neat little arcade bullet hell shooter. I did not understand the story behind it, but the gameplay is pretty fun. If you like bullet hell or Touhou, you may enjoy it. It's free after all, so give it a try!”
“Now that I got the chance to use classic mode and achieved a lunatic 1cc, I think I can see that the gameplay design choices are simply too flawed to give a thumbs up, in my opinion.”
