3rd eye

3rd eye

The first thing you need to know about 3rd Eye is that its illustrator is Koto Inari. Whereas most Touhou artists try to make ZUN’s girls cuter, lovelier and more stylish, Koto Inari gives them uncanny, twisted, often morbid or even mutilated forms.

You won’t be drooling over your favourite Gensoukyans in this one!

But that’s not why you’d play 3rd Eye anyway. It’s a gloomy, psychological horror adventure game with fairly simple puzzles. Solutions are usually found quickly so long as you investigate all objects you come across. Sometimes you’ll get different results or find invisible points of interest if you activate your Third Eye mode first. Not that much logical thinking is required, as the majority of items you pick up are used automatically once you interact with the object or person they are intended for.

TL;DR:

  • Diet fran bow with touhou characters.

  • If you are a touhou fan and you are on the mood for a scary game. Go for it. You gonna love it.

  • if you like this artstyle and atmosphere: you gonna love it.

  • If you come looking for more fran bow just keep in mind this is a way smaller game in scale but I bet you will love it. Like a small delicious snack.

  • if you know nothing about touhou you may not recognize or make sense of a lot locations, behaviours or jokes but you don’t need to know that. The game gives enough hints on what to do. You will enjoy it.

Know nothing about Touhou. Looked up “Touhou” on the Steam store. Found this, for less than $2. Got curious. Bought it, and played it. Feels like it was made in a day, maybe two. Loved the silly jokes. No clue how to get the other ending. This must be Touhou. 10/10.

Seiga Kaku uses her amazing Taoist arts and gives you a life lesson

Ever since I’ve started playing Touhou, my brain has been constantly expanding in size, to the point where it would no longer fit inside my skull, but thanks to Seiga Kaku uses her amazing Taoist arts and gives you a life lesson, my brain has finally reverted back to its original size.

being someone who’s an avid reader of wuxia and xianxia novels, i’ve been exposed to a fair amount of Taoism and have always been interested in it. reading the study section was a very insightful experience and it does helps with the explanations and notes.

oh, and i mean, you get turned into a jiangshi too so there’s that.

Memento Infernum

Pretty fun to play, awesome time killer. Great Hell mode that allows you to compete with your friends. There is still much to do but its definitely worth to buy.

Real player with 1.7 hrs in game

There are no bugs. Only features. Story mode isnt anything special but the hell mode is where the things are getting exciting, cracking the skulls of everything that is near me with a shotgun is very satisfying, though i dont think that is how guns work

[東方二次] Senran Meisuishu Tactics / 戦乱命萃酒タクティクス

[東方二次] Senran Meisuishu Tactics / 戦乱命萃酒タクティクス

Senran Meisuishu Tactics is a turn-based SRPG where you move the Touhou girls under your control over a playing field and defeat monsters or other hostile Touhous. It’s solid in its gameplay, there is a big character roster and a lot of content with the two campaigns (youkai and human version) that the game includes.

For youkai version, I had to throw in the towel at mission 13. At least for human version, I’m still going strong at mission 18. The latter is more casual and more balanced in its difficulty, I recommend you start on it.

That’s the second Touhou doujin game on Steam (well, third if we count NitorInc, but it isn’t full yet), and, even if this one isn’t as good looking or polished as The Disappearing of Gensokyo, it still plays good, and looks at least servicable.

This game is apparently a pack of two scenarios which were sold separately in Japan before it came on Steam. Kinda explains why this game is relatively expensive, which might seem jarring when you look at the screenshots. But that’s not important. What is important are mechanics. Those are heavily inspired by two powerhouses of Japanese tactical RPGs, Fire Emblem and Super Robot Wars, and work well. There’s the classic Weapon Triangle, and two more for damage modifiers. There are eqippable abilities, enchantable weapons, Supports (or rather, as they are called in the very Engrish manual, “couplings”). And various MP-powered abilities, for some resource management.

MarisaLand Legacy

MarisaLand Legacy

An amazing and fun Touhou themed tribute to the original Super Mario Bros.

Gameplay and levels are fun and enjoyable. Controls and mechanics are nice and simple. The Hard Stages are a little unforgiving, but they’re meant to be hard, so I can’t really complain about that.

Would love to have another sequel!

Real player with 14.3 hrs in game

This game is seriously awesome! It’s similar to SMB1, but with some element differences. The main one being that Marisa gradually grows. Rather than just having a big and small form, Marisa grows another head tall depending on how many mushrooms she has. At four heads, she gets a projectile move, and at 8 heads, she is temporarily large enough to charge through everything, similar to the mega mushroom from the Mario series.

I really love the art style of this game. The pixel art is extremely vibrant, cute, and detailed. The music is fun, upbeat, and matches the mood of every level! This sort of variety in game styles is really why I started to like Touhou. Marisaland Legacy is a fun, unique, and cute take on an age-old classic like SMB1. I would recommend it to anyone!
