It is raining and pouring. It's not your average thunderstorm, but a primordial one. This storm doesn't seem to stop. At the same time, the storm is also producing gospel chanting, leading to people being attracted to the concert. The Land of Illusions ends up becoming empty, giving the local bands no opportunity to perform for their people. Based on an original screenplay by Emiko Hosokawa, you …

  • The game features a charming retro and pixel art aesthetic with some PC-98 inspirations.
  • Gameplay mechanics are solid and enjoyable for casual bullet hell fans, including a special health bar mode that makes the game easier.
  • The soundtrack is well-received and reminiscent of classic Touhou music, adding to the overall atmosphere.
  • The hitboxes are often reported as too large or inconsistent, leading to frustration and unintended deaths.
  • Movement speed is considered too slow and bomb mechanics are flawed, with bombs causing loss of power, discouraging their use.
  • Lack of quality-of-life features such as skip buttons, retries, key configuration, spell practice, and unclear game start instructions hinder the gameplay experience.

  • music

    The music in the game is generally well-received, effectively capturing the style reminiscent of official Touhou soundtrack with features like artist commentary and a music room. While some find the music fine and fitting ZUN-style compositions, others consider it mediocre but acceptable given the game's free and unofficial nature.

    • “The soundtrack is basically perfect in my eyes.”
    • “The developers did a good job imitating this type of format; the title screen allows you to change settings and listen to the OST in the music room (complete with artist commentary like an official Touhou game), but when you press start you're sent into a simulation of an arcade experience complete with an attract mode and the ability to insert coins as if you're in MAME.”
    • “The music was mediocre, but that's expected, it's a free game.”
    • “If you go to the options screen, you're given only music/SFW selection (displayed as a vertical list of integers to choose from), fullscreen toggle, language select (only English/Japanese), brightness of the in-game border, and spell card history—which is oddly placed in the options menu. There's no spell card practice; only stage practice in the form of 'free play' mode.”
    • “The music itself is fine, feels like ZUN-style music.”

    The gameplay offers solid bullet hell mechanics reminiscent of Touhou, featuring simple shooting and signature spell card boss battles. However, it lacks polish and quality-of-life features like a radar and effective item collection, with issues such as overly large hitboxes causing unintended deaths. Despite these flaws, it remains a fun, accessible arcade experience for fans of the genre, especially in special health bar modes.

    • “The gameplay itself strives to be like Touhou, with simple shooting mechanics and boss battles that utilize the series' signature spell card system.”
    • “The core gameplay is solid, but lacks some polish and quality-of-life features, such as no radar to track the boss horizontally, weak item magnet, and unusually high auto-collection field; also, hitboxes can be frustratingly large, leading to unintended deaths.”
    • “Pretty neat little arcade bullet hell shooter; the gameplay is fun if you like bullet hell or Touhou games, and it's free to try.”
    • “The core gameplay itself is fine, but like the menus it also suffers from a lack of polish and quality of life: there's no "radar" at the bottom to tell you where the boss is horizontally when you're at the bottom of the screen and focused on dodging. The player has a very weak item magnet, making it harder to grab smaller items compared to official games. Thankfully, this game has an auto collection field at the top of the screen, but for some reason it's placed very high. Your shot type doesn't change when in focus, bombs do not draw items to you, and the most egregious flaw is that either your hitbox is too big or the bullets' hitboxes are massive, leading to many unintended deaths and discouraging grazing.”
    • “Now that I got the chance to use classic mode and achieved a lunatic 1cc, I think the gameplay design choices are simply too flawed to give a thumbs up, in my opinion.”
    • “I initially thought that the game would have some sort of tag team mechanic, but sadly this isn't the case.”

  • story

    8 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    25% positive mentions, 37% neutral mentions, 38% negative mentions

    The story includes an intro cutscene, a departure from previous games where the narrative was usually in manuals, but its plot is considered strange and somewhat confusing, involving unexpected changes to character backstories and religious themes. While some players find it interesting, many skip it, focusing instead on the gameplay. Overall, the story may appeal to those interested in deeper lore but is not essential to enjoy the game.

    • “There's even an intro cutscene that tells the story, something ZUN's own games never do (though lately the in-game manuals tell all the story).”
    • “After a plot twist or two, it seems Raiko (extra stage boss from Touhou 14: Double Dealing Character) is part of these religious people in the church, playing for the concert too with her drums.”
    • “Maybe the answer to this will make sense, but having Raiko, impostor or not, have her backstory changed from a resilient tsukumogami to Christian evangelist and alleged impostor feels random.”
    • “This game's plot is weird.”
    • “The story is kind of strange, too.”

  • graphics

    The graphics receive mixed feedback, with some appreciating the retro aesthetic but criticizing the pixel art as low-quality and unpolished. While not featuring advanced 3D visuals, the simple graphics do not hinder gameplay, similar to successful titles like Terraria and Stardew Valley. Overall, the graphics are functional but lack refinement and consistency in style.

    • “I enjoy the retro aesthetic.”
    • “Fast game with modern day graphics and easy controls that moves smoothly from one location to another.”
    • “This features really godawful, lazy pixelcrap "art" instead of real graphics.”
    • “It's hard to say if this was because the developer didn't have the skill to do the job of creating 3D visuals, or couldn't afford to hire someone who does, but it also doesn't matter.”
    • “Maybe they wanted a more PC-98 style, but the game's graphics don't look very PC-98 and the characters are Windows-style, so it makes me wonder what they omitted so much from the Windows games.”

    The humor is unintentionally funny, with users finding it amusing despite it likely not being designed to be humorous.
