TouHou Makuka Sai ~ Fantastic Danmaku Festival

Touhou very strange amazing game, where have crystals and forests and so many beatiful girls with so charming clothes and house, and crystals

Solid Touhou fan game that has all the QoL features a good Touhou game should have (including translations), plus well designed stages & patterns, most not too special or gimmicky but still engaging. I appreciate the bonus challenge spellcards you can unlock and play in the menu, they are hard, fun and unique. The main stages and extra stage are fairly accessible due to their difficulty being on the lower side of the official entries. I certainly struggled a lot more with TH06, and not just because of the lack of focus. Then again it might have been me being new to bullet hell. The music is decent, maybe a little on the weak side, although can't hate on the remixes of official themes, where is my Remilia theme at though? This Remilia theme just doesn't hit like it does... extra stage theme though, chef's kiss. Some call this game a remake of TH06 which yeah, it's a reimagined TH06 storyline with the same characters and a few changes, but the danmaku patterns are not at all the same as far as i can tell, and a stage or two seem drastically different from what i rember. The store page description clearly indicates this is supposed to be a fan made event that happens a while after …

it's a perfectly fine unofficial remake of touhou 6. like it plays perfectly fine. i had a good enough time with it. it does feel a bit perfunctory though like I'm not sure if this will really be worth playing when the official touhou 6 remake drops on steam in like a month or so

This was one of the kinda Fan Remakes of EoSD before the actual remake came out, this one is just alright for this devs works, as in comparison to the 2nd and ESPECIALLY the 3rd FDF games, this one ends up just kinda feeling like the worst one by comparison art direction wise (Very standard Touhou affair, with Alphes-inspired portraits, no real insane stage designs unlike later FDF's, etc). You do get to play as Patchouli and Sanae in this game unlike the original EoSD, but as with the FDF games it's implied that the events of the original games had occurred, so it's not exactly recommended to pick this up as a replacement for the original games. Pick up if you really want to play as Patchy or Green Reimu in EoSD, and that's really it.

Good game, would recommend.

Very cool game, got me into Touhou
