So... Legacy of Lunatic Kingdom, third game of the ''Fourth Era'' of Touhou Project, mostly well known for its ABSURD difficulty, anyways.
This time we have 4 playable characters: Reimu, Marisa, Sanae and ...Reisen?
This game's plot is actually pretty good, not on the level of Imperishable Night or Subterranean Animism but still a pretty good one, Lunarians from the very moon are invading Gensokyo in an attempt to... ''Purify'' it so they can live in there, Eirin calls our heroines and gives them a drug which makes them able to rewind time if they are badly hurt or they make a mistake.
We have new gimmicks and a TON of those are new, we have 2 game modes: Point Device mode and Legacy mode, sections on every stage are divided by ''chapters'' so are spellcards, why does this matter in the first place? Point Device is pretty much force you to play a literally no-miss run, except we have the power to rewind time every time we complete a ''chapter'' we do not get life pieces by any means so our only means to defend ourselves if something goes wrong is deathbombing, we also get a ton oh spell pieces.
Legacy mode is the original way to play Touhou, we get a ton of life pieces and almost no spellcard pieces.
Not a personal favorite if im being really honest, this game was designed with the Point Device mode in mind rather than Legacy mode, it's absurd patterns on certain bosses (Yes, Clownpiece and Junko) are one of the most gimmicky trash I had to deal with in any danmaku.
Music was actually super good, better than the DDC soundtrack and Ten Desires.
I wouldn't tell anyone to start the franchise on this game, rather, they could just skip it OR leave it for the last, it captures the taste of the OLD SCHOOL games of the genre tho i'll give it that.
