All the jank, technical issues issues, and rubbish stages of a ZUN game without the overwhelming charm those games have. FDF2 is a fan remake of Perfect Cherry Blossom that is just a waste of time.
I will say there's some good stuff here. The character artwork is fairly nice, and it's quite interesting to see a game basically be extremely faithful to the ZUN formula, but with a bit of a twist in that it almost seems like a mirror world touhou where ZUN got away with tracing the art well past EOSD, or maybe had a bigger support team.
And if the game had the polish to go along with it's artwork, it would be fine. But it's not. Controller compatibility is an absolute mess, resolution only goes up to 720p for no apparent reason, you have to use an awkward setup every time you boot the game - the UX in this game is as bad as the early windows XP touhous, which is very bad for a game from 2019.
And frankly, the game would just be better off doing it's own thing. The team here clearly has some aptitude, the art's nice, the remixes are good, and there's definetly room in this world for a more polished fan approach to Touhou - see Luna Nights. This is just the worst of both worlds.
