Out of all the Touhou games. This one is easily my least favorite. I find it rather obnoxious to play in comparison to the others in the worst possible way.

The UFO mechanic feels half baked and not fully realized, resources feel very hard to manage, the the game is uncharacteristically difficult to the point of feeling unfair on top of that. Patterns are quite dense and unforgiving at the best of times.

The music is good, however, and the first instance of playable Sanae! How novel.

Perhaps with time this game will grow on me, but for now I just don't have many kind things to say about it. I would rather play literally any other Touhou game. Yes, even Highly Responsive to Prayers.
