Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
107 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The gameplay, for the most part, is tough but fair, and a spectable that's both daunting and dazzling.
Story
Players who bring up Story mostly praise it.
98 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Also funny characters and goofy story, but it hits in just the right way.
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
62 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
It's fantastic and fits very well with the Touhou circles feeling that the community has, I can tell the soundtrack was composed by passionate fans and Doremy's theme being a meddley of multiple bosses from this game and the Prologue game was a fun touch.
Difficulty
Players who bring up Difficulty mostly praise it.
47 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The difficulty curve is well-balanced, offering a satisfying challenge without veering into frustrating territory, although newcomers unfamiliar with bullet-hell mechanics may face a steep learning curve.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
26 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The backgrounds are gorgeous and breath taking, the character arts are very well done but the in-game characters themselves feel like they're straight from a chibi dress up game, which is a contrast from the other graphics.
Combat
Players who bring up Combat mostly praise it.
18 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The effects during combat and bullet patterns are visually striking without overwhelming the screen, ensuring clarity during fast-paced sequences.
