Touhou Tenkuushou, seventh game of the "Fourth era" of Touhou Project, a pretty solid game this time despite some questionable design choices with an interesting plot, the seasons are out of control in different parts of Gensokyo which also cause that even the fairies get a big power boost so our heroines go to investigate but for their own reasons rather than working together unlike some other past games from this era.

We have 4 playable characters this time: Reimu, Marisa, Cirno (With a Tan) and surprisingly Aya Shameimaru each one with a unique shoot type but they can choose any of the 4 stations to represent them and help them using a unique extra shoot.

We have new gimmicks, depending on the season we choose we get a unique "Release" power, they can vary but almost everyone will cast an are that will cancel enemy bullets or can give us a speed boost that will also take away our hitbox for a few seconds.
Grazing will play another big part of our gameplay since we can level up those options by grazing and collecting small pieces of our season to get better effects when we release our options.

Overall a pretty solid game which was very fun to grind, music kinda passed without glory this time for me to be honest, but the cast was actually pretty good, Aunn and Narumi specially.

Fuck Mai and Satono tho, way harder than the final boss and the EXTRA boss, speaking of which, ZUN had the crazy idea to make the EXTRA of this game way easier than any other game, Okina for some reason had her survival incomplete and some other patterns are easier than her Normal difficulty patterns, I don't get it myself.
