The new Touhou game released about an hour ago as I’m typing this. I have no clue how I managed to clear it on my first try, especially since everything after stage 3 was completely blind to me.
I used ReimuY2 for this run without equipping any stones in the other slots (not like I had any available to me), it seems like the previously overpowered moon stone got severely nerfed down to the ground from the demo as the option shots deal pitiful damage now (hyper still good though). It is possible that I am misremembering, so don't quote me on this.
At a first glace, these patterns just look *insane*. I wouldn't be surprised if this game's danmaku is beyond LoLK and DDC (bad shot-type) in terms of raw difficulty. Two sections that come to mind are the pyramid midbosses in stage 4 and 5, these attacks look almost like something from Len'en Absurdly Extra which is pretty funny to me.
I still need more time to form a proper opinion on this game, but I did have a lot of fun during this run. My whole body was shaking pretty badly once I entered stage 2 due to a horrible combination of excitement and nerves, it was quite the exhilarating experience.
turns out the majority of the bugs are still here including the screwed up hitboxes and scorebug woooooooo thats our zun
