Title is read as Touhou Kikamu. The game is Chinese but I guess the title is in Japanese because Japanese is cool.

Pretty hard game, had to practice it quite a bit and learn how to deal with the stages and resource system. I could definitely stand to polish up stages 5 and 6 (both the stage portions and bosses), but this will work for a basic 1cc. I started getting nervous in the latter half and have some pretty bad hits/misses but eh I'm a noob. Total time spent playing was 12 hours, according to Steam, though some of that was messing around with Extra and running through on Normal to get a feel for it.

I ended up liking this game a lot, thanks to Jaimers for linking it on Discord. The visuals and music are great, and both the stages and boss danmaku are pretty challenging without getting bullshit, though there are a few patterns I'm not a fan of and the prevalence of static/aimed stuff in some fights is meh. Lunatic is a challenge, even compared to the official Touhou games, but Normal is very accessible; I think it's worth a try for Touhou fans of all skill levels.

I especially like the character portraits in this game. The OCs don't look out of place and Yukari is hot.

My knowledge of Chinese is extremely limited (I can recognize hanzi also used in Japanese, that's about it), but I think Reimu is telling Inori (the stage 5 boss) that she's weaker than Sanae after her first two non-cards. If that's true it's pretty funny. I love Sanae though don't get me wrong!!!!
