Double Spoiler

I can't make it passed the tutorial. Game makes me want to KMS

I've played the majority of the official Touhou shoot 'em up games, and this one may well be my favourite. Double Spoiler, expanding on its predecessor Shoot the Bullet (which I'm also kind of reviewing here as they're very similar), is a bit of a departure from the series's standard bullet hell gameplay. Instead of playing through longer levels involving stage enemies and a boss, in Double Spoiler each individual attack pattern (typically spell cards) is its own short level. This means progress can be made incrementally, unlike in the mainstream Touhou titles where you are expected to familiarise yourself with the entire run of levels and become consistent across them.

Perfect Touhou game to practice, including when you have little time and just want to play 5 minutes

It's pretty good Didn't have as much fun in this one as in Shoot The Bullet due to having to complete each stage twice. There are also couple of spellcards that are too much dependent on luck with just throwing bullets randomly without any patter and hoping there is a path between them for the player, but other than that it's still very solid danmaku photo game. The option to rotate camera view is very welcome addition music is as usual very good and doesn't get tiresome. Overall I would still recommend STB over this one but if you already played that one and want more this should be right up your alley.
