Interesante por ser el inicio de touhou pero es choto

The game is unplayable for me but...
Eternal Shrine Maiden ❤️❤️❤️

This game is funny as fuck. Stupid baby doesn't know how to use her artifact so she kicks it around. Fucking idiot. Where is Kasen when you need her

It's fun in its own unique way, but only to a certain point.

I think ZUN should make another one of these

I did both the Makai and Hell routes on easy mode and got the bad ending on both. With save stating just to be clear.

But yeah honestly Touhou 1 really surpriced me. It's mechanic of using a ying and yang ball that is both your projectile and something that can hurt you is a pretty neat idea. And it's executed well although it can be a bit frustrating not having full control of it at times. Both in the card hitting sections and in the boss fights.

The sprite work is also really good too. The backgrounds and character portraits are nice as well, and the overall aestheatic is nice.

The music is the biggest highlight however. It was really good all throughout with the final boss fight theme of the Makai route being a solid highlight.

Overall, as both a introduction to Touhou and the first PC-98 Game I've ever played, it was a solid time that I'm glad I gave a chance! We'll see how the series goes from here but as far as 1 goes, it's pretty solid.
