Up front, it's worth noting that Touhou: Blossom Blade is essentially a remaster of a Touhou doujin game made in 2011. That said, Blossom Blade is an excellent little action game with boss fights that incorporate the bullet-hell roots of Touhou well. There's a score system in place, complete with a DMC-inspired combo counter that rewards keeping a quick pace of defeating enemies while not getting hit. This isn't an earth-shattering feature, but it adds some decent depth the game, alongside the 3 difficulties. For a low asking price of 6 USD at the time of writing, this old game cleans up exceptionally well and makes for a fine addition to the collection of any Touhou fan or Score Attack gamer.2 found this helpful
I remember I played this game like more than 12 years ago, and I think I wasn't even in high school yet lol The "indie game" term wasn't a thing, we had some obscure japanese doujin games at the time and Steam wasn't even that popular yet. I'm happy that the devs brought this game to Steam. Now it can be eternalized and officially accessible on PC. This is a great game, totally action focused with smooth and simple controls, fast and satisfying action and a speed and responsiveness that is hard to see these days in gaming. It is pretty much inspired by the classic Ys games and has excellent Touhou music. It is a very short game though and can be finished at around 1.5 hours. For the price being asked, it is pretty good and very fun for the time. I recommend it, very worth for the fun and price for a quick play.2 found this helpful
A fun little game, awesome music and mechanics.1 found this helpful
This game was practically built for speedruns, I feel like. It's just so satisfying to run through the game as fast as possible, jumping & dashing over enemies in an attempt to beat your best time. Touhou: Blossom Blade is a remaster of the very first game from these developers, and while I believe it's the weakest of their three games, it is by no-means bad. My first run through this game was a frustrating challenge that was satisfying to complete, and my four other runs were a mix of speedruns & high-score challenges that kept the game feeling fresh. The story is simple. Youmu Konpaku, gardener of the Netherworld and personal guardian of Yuyuko, has been sent on a quest to defeat Reimu Hakurei, the Shrine Maiden of Paradise. Uncertain of her ability to complete such a monumental task, Youmu sets off on her journey to reach the Hakruei Shrine and face her opponent. She comes across many obstacles on her way that she sees as nuisances, but they ultimately help her grow stronger as she prepares for the daunting fight ahead of her. The gameplay is similar to Scarlet Curiosity & New World, but with its own unique feel as well. Your skills are static, and you have access to all of t…1 found this helpful
