东方龙隐談 ~ Touhou Chaos of Black Loong

I played this game waaay back before it had an official release and was still a demo. I saw it got a release on steam so I decided to pick it up and play it today. I did two playthroughs and 1cced easy and normal. My biggest complaint with this game is that the deathbomb window just doesn't exist. I've acquired the skill to deathbomb reliably in regular Touhou games (official and most fangames) and it was very frustrating not being able to deathbomb like. At all while playing. The invisibility time for the bombs was also /incredibly/ annoying, you basically had give or take 2-3 seconds after bombing before you were killable again. I liked the character switching mechanic but it was rarely ever actually utilizable during fights, unless I needed to switch to a character who had a longer lasting bomb. I also feel like the difficulty balance is verrry out of wack, atleast going off normal mode which may as well be the standard mode. Stage 2 had a very strange difficulty spike, stage 4-5 had me running for my money, stage 6 was kind've whatever.. The Bosses are the worst of this though. 1-3 are fine, but 4-6 are frustrating or just disappointing. Murasa's final spellcard is 50 seconds …

東方龍隱談 ~ Chaos of Black Loong is a distinctive indie title that blends bullet-hell shooting, light adventure elements, and atmospheric storytelling into a compact but ambitious experience.

From the very beginning, it makes clear that it is less concerned with accessibility or mass appeal and more focused on delivering a mood-driven journey shaped by pattern-based combat, symbolic mechanics, and a dreamlike sense of place. The world presented in Chaos of Black Loong feels deliberately elusive and impressionistic. Rather than relying on straightforward exposition, the game communicates its narrative through evocative dialogue, environmental cues, and stylized character interactions. Players are drawn into a disturbance originating from the Chinese realm, with mystical forces bleeding into Gensokyo and disrupting its fragile balance. The writing leans toward lyrical and metaphorical language, giving the story an almost folktale-like quality. While the lack of an official English …

Longhong is fairly good at making Touhou games with the controls and patterns being good with some voice acting in it which is rare for bullhell games under the Touhou name My issue is there is no EN patch even though people have offered to make it for the Devs which is a bit disappointing Outside of the no EN issue I would say it is good and was nice to play as the Komeiji sisters in good bullhell game for once

Decent graphics and features voice acting which is rare for a shmup... but the game itself feels dreadfully boring. I cannot recommend buying this if you're looking more into the gameplay aspects of this danmaku game than the lewd art it brazenly displays.

legit one of the best touhou fan games i've played thus far!!
