This game gets talked about a lot, and honestly? I don't get it. 
There's so much better shoot 'em ups in the PC Engine catalog, let alone the rest of the systems. 

Your ship moves at a snail's pace, the enemy attacks are too fast, and the sound design is absolutely awful. I'd like to say something about the music, but there's a little problem: I can't listen to it over the disgusting sounds my projectiles make.

Level design is also whatever, with the sole exception of level 4, which is also extremely short. There are like two or three memorable boss battles, but everything in this game dies after you drop one or two bombs, so who cares?

The anime girls are cute and all, but c'mon guys, Touhou??? Deathsmiles???
