very very hard gameplay, at the first stage is still possible for me to read the bullets pattern, but when I reached the second stage... bruh...
it feels like Fatal Frame in Flight Shooting

did you know that touhou isn't just bullet hell? it does has storyline and many pop culture reference has grown from this 'franchise'. if you're talking about the bullet hell section, you're missing the whole thing about touhou and its whole moriya shrine lore
and also ZUN was only trying to make something for japanese hardcore arcade players but ended up building a big community that make things based on the story. yes, this one is official release but OH BOI how many was fan stuffs that was made for this franchise
this is no longer just a game but a whole community build upon the love of a genre that developed into the in-game lore and characters
also here, for starter packs https://moriyashrine.org/
also edit: I personally don't play touhou games (except the one megaman-like rpg with sakuya) but I know someone who does them and I only know of the reference based on the "cultured" music they've managed to produced. eg. bad apple, night of nights/ night of knights (which rhythm game player must've been already too familiar with)

we're talking about japanese now, huh
well excuse me but I know my japanese is not somewhat N1 level but I do know them and especially in Romaji, yes, it is officially wrote with a line on top to show the long pronunciation, otherwise, they are mostly pronounced as "Touhou" as in the original writing furigana they are wrote as "とうほう" or "Touhou" in 東方 where the "tou" part is the same as "To" in "Tokyo"
well, do you spell "tokyo" as "tōkyo" or just "Tokyo"? also that "To" part when by itself is called "Higashi" which means East as Tokyo is on the Eastern Part of Japan and used that name after they are united in the Meiji Era which in chinese would mean "The Rising Sun" Country (cmiiw) get it? sun rises from east and all?
yeah, I know. it's mindblowing right? learning kanji by learning the whole radical things instead of remembering things

well, if it does a copy, then how much does it copy? does the game it copy has a big lore with a big cult following it? does it have fanmade games that known for years? or maybe songs that made it to the worldwide pop culture?
just because you've never seen something outside the thing you know, doesn't mean it never exists. also, this is similar to you saying basically every fighting game is a copy or beat em up games are copies when they DO have their own universe
not to include sports game like soccer (FIFA, WE, etc.)

Bruh look at dodonpacchi youll see this dev copied everything frum it , just because there is more bullet doesnt make it not a copy man
it is clearly the copy of the game, this touhou dev is just a scam man he copy the original OG game of dodonpacchi and then sell it under another name

( The boundary is this thin because it's almost the same, someone like me who would troll like that has probably not much of a life (this is the case) but is instead really versed into internet culture. This is why I love making a shitpost that will farm the biggest reaction of the people that pretend to be cultured.
Hey if people would really love this game this much, they would call it Tõhõ , just like its Romaji translate it. But that's just my elitist take :p )

yeah some people would argue that 10 year is enough to stop claiming the copyright thingy, but still i'm not a fool bro i can see they copied the game from the early 2000 dondonpacchi , you see the copyright thingy man, they clearly have no creativity and no pride to copy this OG game and call it touhou or what ever
i'm not a fool i can see the scam, are you a fool ?

OK,you meant the copyright stuff.So let's see.....is it weird to see CAVE not even able to sue ZUN,who is a small-works dev?Sure TH is more popular,but you know ZUN isn't rich AF and CAVE has the resource to doom him.Furthermore,there is no evidence suggesting that ZUN actually copied it.Sure it has some references (that pointy arrowhead bullet is based on DDF's TLB and one of Marisa's MoF shot is based on Gradius,also TH18 has a system that is suspiciously like DDF's hyper mode) but that's it.Moreover,it is in fact,most CAVE and Touhou rivalry is more of a difficulty and theming clashes,not "He copy me" arguments.Also yes,some overzealous TH fans like to use "Touhou is hard" to piss CAVE shump lovers despite obvious differences (I bet this one is the real reason of your viewpoint).Oh,and do I forgot Japan is also copyright conscious?
Don't tell me you actually red that article on a certain website too much and actually did the "guides".....I know what the website is.
And yes Touhou's only major dark history is a feud with Kancolle AKA Kantai Collection.But not on a copyright problem,rather it is the toxic behaviour of fans of both sides that brewed into a fandom war,though it is quickly suppressed in Japan and "have their records destroyed".
You already admitted you are just for the lulz (I see that comment of yours,no need to pretend I don't notice it).Just end it,this is getting like hell.

This game is pretty interesting, it's a bullet hell but pretty different from the mainline titles.
Don't let the "photography" aspect scare you away from it, all the patterns and how you deal with them is extremely creative! It's the type of thing that could only be done in a spin-off!
It's kinda like a mix of an action game with puzzle game, yes ZUN found a way to transform danmaku into a puzzle!
Overall a pretty memorable entry for the Touhou franchise that revisits many characters, the story is almost non-existent but it does expand on characters introduced prior to this game, especially if you get a Perfect in each scene, you unlock a description of the encounter from Aya's perspective.

TD is kind of played out in my opinion. I used to be really excited for them but it's just so boring now.
And IGG sees your fighting/TD games and raises you Unity engine horror/GF simulator VN games.

It depends on the KIND of TD game -- if in the vein of Orcs Must Die, or Deathtrap, I like 'em. The "set the traps and AFK" ones -- no. TD games need to have "heroes" and full player / action control during the rush phase. That 'Gensokyo Defenders' game is okay; just lacking in characters, and rather "indie" in production values. As for fighters, there are a handful of okay-ish Touhou fighters... However, a more "triple-A" one is as sorely missed as it is for Sailor Moon.
Another genre that may work with Touhou, is "musou" (Dynasty Warriors type games). Other than that, that "kart" game (forget its title) -- where the witches act as hoverboard and rider -- wasn't a bad effort... Kind of like 'Sonic Riders'. But, again, that lacked characters and content.
