Touhou Kaeizuka: Phantasmagoria of Flower View

released on Aug 14, 2005

This game is a split-screen vertical danmaku shooting game where two characters engage in the normal Touhou-esque gameplay, while unleashing attacks and character-specific spell cards onto the other player, similar to that of Phantasmagoria of Dim.Dream. When a player gets hit enough times to lose all their hit points, they are defeated. The game features a Story Mode, which pits the player against a series of nine opponents that get progressively harder, and a versus mode, which is a single match against either an AI opponent or a human opponent(or, two AI opponents). With the netplay patch, multiplayer is also possible through LAN or over the Internet.

I think the 2-player versus mode is very fun and works better than the normal games. That being said, Phantasmagoria of Dim. Dream still executes the formula better.

Good touhou game, I would give it 5 stars if there wasn't such annoying and run killer glitches.

This is the Touhou game I spent the most time with. It's fine enough single-player, but a vs. shooter like this is it's at its best when you're playing with a friend.

Each of the playable characters has their own distinct attacks and playstyle, sending over various obstacles to their opponent. I like how instead of a single bomb type, there are progressively more powerful spells you can use as you kill more enemies. Komachi in particular is so much fun to play as with the sheer amount of bullets in her spells. As usual, ZUN's soundtrack is great. Wind God Girl is one of my favorite tracks in the series. 2-player mode is a lot of fun and can be played locally or online via peer-to-peer connection.

The only issue is that controls get uncomfortable after awhile. There are control options, but you have to decide between no autofire or no unfocused movement when firing, neither of which are ideal.

It really feels like they were on something when making this game.
