Elegant Impermanence of Sakura || Extra 1MNB Clear (Marisa & Yuyuko)
163Here goes the Extra stage fellas! In fact it's pretty dope in terms of boss attacks, stages aren't that tough as well so we can have a relief from it. Seriously, while nonspells aren't as attractive (although a bit complex at times), spells are ingenious. Lovin' it.
[ TRIVIA ]
Ei Iwabuchi apparently can control rocks. It's worth noting it has a melody similar to Koishi Komeiji's boss theme. In fact, it is not a coincidence. If you read her kanji, it translates into 'little rock', so... yeah, it's really fancy.

东方祈华梦～Elegant Impermanence of Sakura (EIoS/EIS for short) is a fresh fan-made Touhou game. Just like Fantastic Danmaku Festival did in both parts regading EoSD and PCB - EIoS, along with its story, pays homage to Imperishable Night. It is sort of extension to official story, as the developers claim - yet official English translations are about to be added, so we need to wait a little more.
In the terms of gameplay: The game consists, as usual, from 6 Stages across four difficulties, plus Extra Stage unlocked by doing 1cc on Normal or higher. Yet because it is a homage to IN, players available are actually teams, which are: Reimu + Yukari, Marisa + Yuyuko and Mokou + Keine. Human with a youkai. Fancy, isn't it?
[And as the description on Steam page is accurate, I'll allow myself to use it for explanation purposes :V]
Except for the bosses, all the enemies in EIoS can be divided into two categories
- Large-scale enemies, which are: Large fairy, medium fairy and yin-yang orb
- Small-scale enemies: Tiny fairy, will-o-the-wisp, Kedama(Hairball)
All the collisions between you and enemies won't be determined as missed (except bosses). Therefore, you can shotgun in the face of enemies freely. (lol)
It is important, that in high-speed mode (human-side), your character won't shoot the small-scale enemies - you'll damage large- and medium-scale enemies only. In slow-speed mode (youkai-side), your character will shoot all kinds of enemies.
All the large-scale enemies are carrying circles with red or blue color, these circles have the function of dyeing.
When the large-scale enemies are shot down, all the small-scale enemies in the circle will be dyed. In addition, the bullets inside will be cancelled as well.
If those enemies are dyed already, they will be instantly destroyed, and it will fill a bit of the “Chain Dyeing” gauge.
Killing this way enough enemies, thus filling “Chain Dyeing” gauge, will enable fighting Last Spell Card (LSC) of the stage's boss. As far as I'm concerned, Final Stage boss doesn't have LSC, nor has it Extra boss. It's a little of disappointment, yet worry not - they make for a hella great fights!
[ My honest opinion? ]
I'm happy the game has met the finish line and got a full release! And yeah, while I was a bit complaining earlier about the system being too strict (LW requirements, unfairness of Stage 5), I think it can be worked around - one way or another. While it'd be fine to see adjustments in there, I'm not forcing devs to it - it's up to 'em.
All-in-all, it's a totally epic fangame. Graphics in Chinese fangames are always at the highest level. Mechanism is indeed unique - a bit confusing and also forces the player to stay unfocused. In fact, the game is tough. Like, very tough. But the gameplay as a whole is indeed awesome. If you're okay with difficulty - bring it on and check it out!

[ STORY ]
In late winter, just like the spring that has not yet arrived, Gensokyo is still blind to the potential abnormal occurrences.
The bamboos in Bamboo Forest of the Lost blossom overnight, the bronze of Myouren Temple rusts in a flash, the snow and dew under the burning sun are far from evaporation.....
Obviously, it should be considered as a new “incident” that happened in Gensokyo. At this very moment, three teams are assembled:
- Shrine Maiden of Paradise - Reimu Hakurei ＆ Youkai of Boundaries - Yukari Yakumo
- The Strange Magician - Marisa Kirisame ＆ Ghost of Flawless Immaculate Beauty - Yuyuko Saigyouji
- The Tarnished Immortal - Fujiwara no Mokou ＆ History-Eating Half Beast - Keine Kamishirasawa
While collecting clues, maidens set forth on the journey to find the truth.
