Touhou Kouzougi　～ Flickerframe Shutter Festival

Pretty fun game, I loved how it expanded on the previous photo games with many new interesting spell cards to grind. My favorite parts were the many different characters drawn in Zun's art style (pretty underrated imo, I wish more artists tried it out) and their accompanying dialogue - not knowing who you're going to meet and then battle in each stage was really engaging. Definitely a great choice to improve your danmaku skills while also discovering several other fan games and albums at the same time.

this game is HARD but DAMN is it good

Game seems really good, writing good, all the character designs are good. It's not gonna make you fall in love with photography danmaku games but if you're already a fan of those then this is the game for you

If you like the Touhou spinoff photogames or Legacy of lunatic kingdom you will probably like this :)

This is a game that I genuinely want to enjoy, but I'm unable to properly articulate all the many shortcomings that this game suffers from that really holds it back, especially in late game. From all the spellcards that have mountains of uncancellable bullets, to some of the spellcards having a weirdly high amount of rng (which makes no sense for a game like this to even have???), all of it boils down to the game feeling very frustrating, and never giving me that sense of satisfaction for clearing a spellcard because I felt like I got "lucky". And while I consider myself a bit average in terms of schmup skill (good enough to clear all windows touhou games on normal, including 15 on legacy), I feel like the game demands wayyy too much for the average touhou player to do, especially with this game showing off all the different fan characters from different fan games. Were the game just easier, or had an easy mode that wasn't terrible (seriously, who thought that giving 3 extra hits would be enough in late game), I would recommend this as a great entry point in introducing newer fans into getting into the more niche touhou fangames that delve into it's own set of casts and stuff.
