Touhou 19 - Unfinished Dream of All Living Ghost Normal 1cc (Reimu)
0What a stupidly long title.
I decided just to do normal and not hard or lunatic - I can't be bothered. Also, so to review the game, I don't know where to start. I guess I can start with the music, the sprites, gameplay, etc.
Alright, so the music. I do not know how to explain it. The music is... mediocre. Close to being bad in my opinion. Again, I haven't played any Touhou games once I got into other stgs. I do think the music has been down in quality after Touhou Kikeijuu.
The sprites. I was surprised when I saw new sprites after god knows how long. Pretty much big news for the series. But of course everything else is reused/recycled like any other past Touhou games. Same enemies, same background from past Touhou games. Nothing has really changed. Not suprising.
The characters. When I first saw the new characters, I didn't think much about them. They all look like fanart drawings.
The gameplay. Oh my god. I don't know how to describe it. First off, the cards. I'm getting fed up and a bit annoyed with the card mechanic. I didn't like the card mechanic back in 18 and in 18.5. Why even bother putting it here again? I understand Zun wanted to change the gameplay after 18, but it just doesn't work that well. I wouldn't be surprise if certain cards are completely broken.
Moving on to the chaining. One word: why? At what purpose does it serve? It doesn't add up to your score, it absolutely does nothing gameplay-wise. Just why? It doesn't work in Touhou. It however only works on the DoDonPachi series. Chaining in DDP does matter unless you're scoring and not doing surivial runs. It adds up to your score and it rewards you for not breaking a chain. I don't understand why Zun add a chain system when it doesn't matter to the core gameplay. I guess its for decoration or to make the players feel good about themselves for maintain a combo? I don't know.
As for the spellcards. They're alright. I don't have much to say about them. I suppose they're the only good thing about the game.
I'm not going to be bothered to play more of this game. The game is broken, a ton of useless playable characters except for Reimu, not enjoyable gameplay. It honestly puts me to sleep. I'm not much of a PvP type of guy. Anyway, I'll post more videos later. I was thinking about posting a video on G-Darius or DOJ but I've been playing other games beside those two. I am currently working on DOJ and possibly Progear since I am putting a ton of hours on Progear.
Go play Twinkle Star Sprites or Rival Megagun. Both are great PvP shooting games.
