This game manages to be good in everything, great gameplay, great boss patterns, great ost, and very unique sprites. It's worth checking out; Even though it's Bullet Hell, the bosses have some attacks that are 'easy' to dodge, you don't need to be a good player to have fun playing this game.
Bem divertido até diria que é um bom jogo. A mecânica de grazing é um dos melhores pontos desse bullet hell principalmente nas bossfights que tem padrões pensados para o proveito da mecânica e é claro a OST vai duro.
The third and final game in the eXceed trilogy. As always, the gameplay is tight, every character is an immensely powerful anime girl and the OST is really nice. It's also kind of a soft reboot in terms of story and gameplay, the polarity mechanic from the last game is gone, but the grazing mechanic from the first game is back. The player can also collect power ups that summon familiars for extra damage.
Just as the second game in the saga, Black Package is a remake so it doesn't have nearly as many technical problems as the first game. However, it's a bit barren when it comes to the settings menu.
Overall, I think eXceed 3rd - Jade Penetrate Black Package (what a name) is really good and so is the rest of the series. If you are gonna get it then consider buying the collection with all the games in it because it goes on sale often.

Play for soundtrack, stay for game. Fun game even if I still have no idea what the requirements for spawning Remedy reliably are. Really like the aesthetics, as well.
I absolutely love and respect this game's insane chuuni energy.
Although it is a pretty basic touhou clone mechanically the burst attack mechanic is satisfying on a base, primal level and the level/boss designs are good, especially when you get good enough to play on hard or exceed difficulties. There are no sleeper stages in this game, every stage and boss has at least one intense section that does a good job at keeping the player engaged throughout. The difficult to unlock extra stage is also a nice touch.
Exceed 3rd is additionally blessed with a soundtrack from one of the few metal artists I actually like: Saitama Saishu Heiki (usually abbreviated as S.S.H), and the songs here are up there with S.S.H's best, with my favourites being the stage 4 theme, the stage 5 boss theme and the extra stage theme.

very cool art and ost
When I was in high school there was literally nothing in the world funnier than the title of this game.
I don't wanna be Ikaruga anymore! I wanna be Touhou now!
And to its credit, it's like it heard every complaint I had about the previous games and polishes them all right up. It's a little on the easy side and nothing special, but it's a vast improvement over the second game. Heck, I even got the 1CC this time! A 4 button shmup and none of them being shift threw me off, but I managed to adjust.
All in all this trilogy was an adventure of not knowing what to expect next, but I'm glad that it ended as it did.

The soundtrack goes hard, bullet patterns are distinctive, and the Burn Air Raid mechanic means fights never get stale. An underappreciated gem worth playing if not just for the soundtrack alone!!
one of the best touhou clones ive played, its weird to explain why i like this so much because the patterns are nothing special and the mechanics are also fairly plain. it's just fun. the music is incredible though
