Also, the permanent upgrades are plentiful, are actually useful, and a few even add new mechanics.

83 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Combat flow feels a lot similar to games like Nier: Automata which were incredibly fun to play in their own right.
Difficulty
Players who bring up Difficulty mostly praise it.
49 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The first few bosses are fairly easy, but then later the difficulty goes much higher and the fights become a lot more complex, cool, and properly challenging.
Characters
Players who bring up Characters mostly praise it.
43 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Playable characters in particular would be very lucrative for obvious reasons but more bosses and skills for existing characters should get looked into as well.
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
23 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Lastly with the positives, as is expected of Touhou, the soundtrack is pretty good (even if I'm not into all of the genres, it's nice that the Dev tried to vary it a little) and the combat effects are very fitting.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
16 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The visuals are also a breath of fresh air and it's impressive that the models look as good as they do because more often than not that's hard to pull off with Touhou when you try going the 3D route.
