an incredible story of equally deep love and trauma. rich, truly multifaceted characters whose victories you will celebrate, and whose flaws you will forgive. mysteries whose answers you will first crave, and by the end of it all beg not to be offered.
masterful writing, art and music. a reminder to not give in to despair, even in the darkest places a mind can dwell. a tale whose themes of relationships, identity, mental illness and loss will break your heart, before repairing it with gold.
daemonical logic puzzles in which nothing can ever be assumed, that will make every victory feel like an exploit, yet incredibly rewarding. an ambient soundtrack and a delightful art style of calculated simplicity, enjoyable even as your neurons melt like an overstressed graphics card.
one of my main sources of inspiration for all things fantasy, since i discovered it and still to this day. an incredible soundtrack, compelling characters, and gorgeous graphics. just about everything you could ever ask of a snes square title, and more.
my first and favorite touhou! the perfect blend of zun's highly variable character, game and sound designs. spell cards high in color, elegance, and complexity compared to more modern installements in the series. also dear gods mokou is such a cool girl.
brillant concept, brillant execution. delightfully designed levels from start to finish, with a well-adjusted difficulty curve. would've readily bought as a standalone game if it came with a ready-to-use level editor.
