Gensokyo Defenders
Basically Touhou version of Dungeon Defenders, except you play as majority your favourite characters as you progressed through the story. Each character possesses unique uses and abilities. For example: Aya is mostly used for levels that has lots of water, Okuu for crowd control, etc. However, some characters also have cons applied to them. For example Okuu’s attack is strong, but in exchange it will damage your traps forcing you to take big risks. Another example is Mokou’s, Mokou can buff her attacks and heal herself, but in exchange for either her own health, or your bases health therefore forcing you to only use her skills for emergencies only. Voice acting is great with translations. Music is beautiful as always like any other Touhou games, fan made or not. If you are the type of person that likes both Touhou and tower defense games, then this game is for you.

Gensokyo Defenders is a fun tower defense-esque game.
Gameplay is smooth, controls feel natural and are easy to learn. The game also has surprisingly high amount of content and re-playability. As is fitting for a Touhou fan game, the soundtrack is awesome. Some rearranges of classic Touhou songs are really good! The sounds are otherwise good too. The story is fun.
The co-op mode brings a whole extra-layer of fun to the game and enables many cool new tactics.
A truly well done Touhou doujin game!

Alright so normally I don’t review games, but I will drop one for this game. I got this game on launch and been playing it off and on since, due to a variety of reasons. On day one was there a lot of issues for a game that tried to delay to fix the issues? yes there was. However even then I got the issues fixed using a controller and just taking it out of fullscreen mode.
But here is my over all review either way. Is the game fun? Yes I feel it is very fun, with some similarities to other games I have played. It was my third game in the bullet hell-esque genre I have played, and I feel for a 3D Bullet hell, it game me what I wanted. Areas where verticality mattered versus some opponents, such as the Bat-Types and the Land Dragon types, and others where horizontal movement was more important, as seen with the Oni Type, the Sky dragon, and a few others.

TOUHOU SKY ARENA MATSURI CLIMAX
Very fun game. There is plenty of characters you can play. Voice acting and graphic is good too.
Though if you are mainly interested in playing online then you should think twice before buying this game. Vast majority of players are Asian and if you are, for example, a European you will probably have to put up with lags unless you host a match. Also, sadly there aren’t that many players. Depending on the time you play you may not even be able to find an opponent for quite a long. What I didn’t liked about ranked games is that it seems that if you abandon the match there is no penalty. I happened to play with someone who quited 2-3 times in a row. I know that it’s annoying playing with lags, it can be hard to win unless you are a way better than your opponent or just got a bit lucky, but if there’s no penalty at all for abandoning the matches you just cannot drop in ranking even if you keep quitting them all the time.

There was nothing wrong with the game play or presentation. The game is very entertaining to play and enough effort was placed into the audio/visual quality to pass as a good game. Everything about the game was fine all the way to the point when I started doing the single player mode, then I came into technical problems.
I am unable to complete arcade mode without the game crashing during the load of a stage. A couple of times it happened on stage 2, then another time on stage 5.
These crashes do also occur in Sky Adventure mode, but since it’s stage select and no progress is lost, I didn’t mind it as much.

DANMAKAI: Red Forbidden Fruit
Cute little STG that feels like a nice and huge love letter to Touhou (especially PC-98’s vibes). I will write my pros and cons with the expectation that the reader is at least somewhat fond of Touhou.
Pros:
-
4 difficulties, 6 stages with an extra stage. Very Touhou-style
-
Mechanic is simple enough to understand. The tutorial video helps.
-
The difficulty is generally digestible. You can go ham on resources once you master the mechanic, but isn’t that true of most STGs and Touhou games anyway…

A hilariously unbalanced game with a bomb mechanic that can be spammed to hell and back. Once the player has figured out how, where, and when to bomb graze, its difficulty becomes trivial, and the game becomes a fun novelty. A veteran shmup player should be able to clear Lunatic in under 10 credits.
While there is little challenge to be found in the main game, there’s plenty of extra content to keep yourself busy with. There also seems to be a hidden condition for what I think is a TLB or something equivalent, but I’m too lazy to confirm it.
