Touhou

[Chiisu]

Chances are no one knows what this game is, but I'm posting about it anyways.

Basically what Touhou is, is a popular doujin danmaku shmup in Japan with a huge amount of fanworks. Gameplay wise, it's just a basic vertical scrolling shooter. The catch is, there are millions of bullets flying around trying to kill you about 99% of the time during a boss battles and even more when you're playing at higher difficulties. You die if you touch even one of them.

I've been playing this game for about a year and I still suck shit at it. It's incredebly fun though, even though it has an insanely steep learning curve.

Summary of what Touhou is:

You're right not many people who know what it is
theres alot of touhou games most of them are 2nd vertical shooters but also two doujin "fighters" immaterial and missing power & scarlet weather rhapsody, they are fighting games but theres not so much close combat & combos that you see in most doujin fighers like melty blood.

I've got some of the shooters but i really only play the "loli" doujin fighters of the touhou serieshttp://i240.photobucket.com/albums/ff258/BlackCatSignatures/Etnagif1.gif

Anyway it's a Really cute series of games completely full of bishoujo girls ^ ^

Here's the first post of 200⑨ for this thread ~

Touhou music took over my playlists, probably half of it is either the original ZUN work or a Jpop remix based on some of those songs.

So far I only play Imperishable Night, Scarlet Weather Rhapsody, and Subterranean Animism. The newest game seems easier than the last game (SA Easy Mode is like a regular game's Normal Mode...) , I'll give it a try when it comes out this summer.

It's funny how I can only beat SA in Easy Mode, IN in Normal Mode, but beat SWR on Lunatic Mode. I guess 2D fighting is more simpler than dodging thousands of bullets at once ~

Do I even really have to say anything?

Surprised there was a thread up, though.

Actually, the last reply was about half a year ago on the 3rd page or so and I was a bit hesistant to post in it. But rather 1 bumped old thread than a 2nd one about the same thing?
