  • The unique freezing mechanic is incredibly satisfying, allowing players to freeze and shatter bullets for a rewarding gameplay experience.
  • Cirno's character shines through with engaging dialogue and a fun storyline that adds depth to the gameplay.
  • The game offers a good level of challenge, making it a compelling experience for both new and experienced players of the Touhou series.
  • The control scheme can be confusing, particularly for players transitioning from other Touhou games, which may hinder the overall experience.
  • The game only features one playable character, which some players may find limiting compared to other titles in the series.
  • The sound effects, particularly when freezing bullets, can be jarring and detract from the otherwise enjoyable music.
  • gameplay
    16 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The gameplay of Touhou 12.8 is highly praised for its innovative freezing danmaku mechanic, which adds a unique twist to the traditional bullet hell experience, encouraging players to engage with patterns in new ways. Despite having only one playable character and a limited number of stages, the game is considered one of the best in the series due to its challenging and compelling mechanics, making it a refreshing alternative for fans seeking a break from standard Touhou gameplay. Players are encouraged to familiarize themselves with the game's mechanics through the manual to fully appreciate its depth and complexity.

    • “The freezing danmaku mechanic is awesome and unique to Touhou 12.8. If you time it right, you can wait for the danmaku to encompass the whole screen and then freeze them.”
    • “Absolute blast of a game with a very creative core mechanic.”
    • “In reality, what's most significant to this game is the gameplay itself, which is a fair bit different than the mainline Touhou games.”
    • “The freeze mechanic really makes you look at patterns a lot more differently compared to other spin-offs like Impossible Spell Card or Double Spoiler.”
    • “Overall, if you want a break from the normal Touhou gameplay, I cannot recommend this game enough because the freeze mechanic makes all the difference.”
  • music
    9 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The music in the game is widely praised for its quality, with many fans highlighting its catchy and memorable tracks, characteristic of the Touhou Project's renowned sound. However, some reviewers note that the limited number of themes—only three stage themes and two boss themes—can make the soundtrack feel somewhat repetitive. Overall, while the music is considered excellent, it may not be as prominent or varied as some players would hope.

    • “The music absolutely bops as well, highly suggested.”
    • “Like usual, Great Fairy Wars has, fittingly, a great soundtrack, although a bit forgettable, and while the visuals are simple, they get the job done without populating the background too much.”
    • “And there isn't all that much music.”
    • “I remember just repeating the song over and over again, as I thought it was a really cool and sick-ass song!”
  • story
    6 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The story continues from the "great fairy wars" chapter, providing closure to a narrative that was previously left open-ended in the official manga. While the plot is described as mostly insignificant and intentionally silly, it showcases Cirno's capabilities and delivers an enjoyable experience, culminating in a surprising final boss encounter. Overall, the story is considered basic yet still engaging and entertaining.

    • “As for the story, it follows up from the 'Great Fairy Wars' chapter, which was left up to interpretation in the official manga Touhou Sangetsusei: Strange and Bright Nature Deity.”
    • “The war of the fairies was a wonderful story that showcased what Cirno was capable of when pushed to accomplish her goals.”
    • “The final extra stage boss is a surprise, and overall it was an incredible story and gameplay.”
    • “The plot is mostly insignificant and purposefully silly.”
    • “Even though in the same chapter we were told that it was supposed to be a 'story for another time', the time is now!”
  • graphics
    2 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The graphics are characterized by a simple yet effective art style that complements the game's overall aesthetic, with a focus on clarity rather than complexity. While some users find the visuals adequate for the gameplay, they also note that the soundtrack, though enjoyable, may not leave a lasting impression.

    • “I love the art style! Even if the game is hard, I like Cirno and I am biased towards her being the main character of this spin-off title!”
    • “Like usual, Great Fairy Wars has, fittingly, a great soundtrack, although a bit forgettable. The visuals are simple, but they get the job done without overcrowding the background.”
    • “The graphics are quite simplistic and lack detail, making the overall visual experience feel underwhelming.”
    • “While the game has a unique art style, the low-resolution textures and basic animations detract from the immersion.”
    • “The visuals seem outdated and fail to impress, leaving the game feeling less polished compared to modern titles.”
  • emotional
    1 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The emotional aspect of the game is highlighted by the ability to slow down time, which not only enhances gameplay but also creates a sense of tension and strategy as players navigate through projectiles, evoking feelings of empowerment and control in high-stakes moments.

  • stability
    1 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The stability of the game is enhanced by a unique mechanic that allows players to charge a freezing ability, effectively nullifying most projectiles in the vicinity and triggering chain reactions with frozen projectiles. This feature contributes to a more controlled and strategic gameplay experience.

  • humor
    1 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The humor in the game is highlighted as being inherently funny, with both the premise and the extra stage concept receiving praise for their comedic elements.
