A fun, modern fangame based on the Touhou Project series. Similarly to Elegant Impermanence of Sakura, the previous work of the developers, there is a gimmick in this game too; the power overwhelming mechanic.

Regarding the mechanic, I feel using it during the stage portions makes the game a bit too forgiving. However, during the bosses it’s often the reverse. Activating the mechanic can make some of the nons/spell cards quite ridiculous, which is a fun challenge in of itself. This makes scoring in this game quite fun and challenging. One nitpick about the mechanic is that you can’t really opt out of it; misses are an automatic power overwhelming activation as long as you have bombs and max power. However, the game is designed around using the mechanic, so why one would want to play without it is beyond me. Regarding stage difficulty, it’s very linear, with the hardest parts being at the end of the game.

In terms of overall difficulty, it’s quite an easy game, especially considering it’s a fangame. In general fangames tend to be a bit more difficult than the main games. This is because of the preset expectations of a fangame that you are familiar with bullet hell shooters to begin with. Compared to EIoS, which relies quite heavily on routing, especially on the highest difficulties, I feel this game requires a lower degree of routing.

The gameplay aside the presentation is absolutely stellar. The danmaku, art and music are all top notch, better than some of the latest entries in the main games in my opinion. Considering the price, the game is a steal. I definitely recommend it to anyone interested in bullet hell shooters/Touhou Project.
