The Campfire campaign for the game achieved its 15 million yen goal within 30 million, with more than 82 million yen pledged as of press time. It was thanks to this support that Unknown X was able to commit to releasing a Siwtch version.

I would have given it a perfect score but the absence of voice acting is a missed opportunity. Incorporating voice acting would have added depth and personality to the characters and potentially the underwhelming story too.

As a newcomer to the Touhou series, I was both excited and apprehensive to dive into its vast and cherished universe. While Touhou may not enjoy the same level of popularity outside of Japan, its rich world-building, captivating shoot 'em-up games, adorable anime characters, and stellar music have garnered a devoted fanbase worldwide.

And let me tell you, Touhou fans were absolutely right; every song in the game is a gem worth listening to on repeat.

All of the beautiful cards are available (some cards will be added through updates and downloadable content).

Each successful note strike not only maintains the rhythm but also inflicts damage on the boss you are facing. However, players must multitask, balancing note-hitting with character control and precise aiming with their character in the middle of the screen to defeat formidable bosses.

Certain plot points raise questions about the narrative's direction, as it seems to jump right into the game without much Touhou Danmaku Kagura buildup. While this unconventional approach may have been intended to pique interest, it ultimately falls short of achieving intrigue.
