Touhou 20 東方錦上京 ~ Fossilized Wonders - Lunatic 1CC (ReimuG1)
1,206New Touhou came out.
Compared to the demo they made a great number of improvements.
For one your shot doesn't seem to suck as much, and the wonder stones actually die at a decent pace now. Though they might have nerfed them a bit too much on bosses because they don't shoot anything anymore lmao.
But they also show up much more now, and blowing them up all over the place is very satisfying. As a result you also get way more resources, bullet cancels and power, which certainly makes stage 1 not total ass anymore.
Good things that weren't fixed since the demo: your hitbox is still 1x1.
Bad things that weren't fixed since the demo: some bullet hitboxes are still wildly off-center (PLZ ZUN). Also scoring is still completely broken, at 40 incident value your points still drop to zero duo to a bug.
First impressions are that this is a crazy hard game, waaaay harder than anything you would even see in LoLK.
I guess ZUN really wants you to use all the mechanics of the game this time.
These late game patterns are absolutely nuts. I'll have to see how much of these are realistically possible to do without using resources.
I still have good feelings with this one though, it's probably the best Touhou game released in the last decade.
Though of course it's hard to tell on just day 1. But stages seem cool and your main shot doesn't seem to suck as much anymore like in the other recent games, which is all I really asked for.
The game seems a bit like a celebration of the series, with many abilities in this referencing past games.
The game has been commonly described so far as Hollow Song of Birds combined with Undefined Fantastic Object.
There are abilities you choose at the start combined with UFO-like enemies that show up and attack you but work otherwise the same.
Hypers make a return and are unavoidable now, to the chagrin of many a survival player.
There is also enemy chaining, so it's almost like you're playing DOJ if you squint hard enough.
There are an insane amount of shot and ability combinations.
There are four main categories: a hyper category, a focus shot category, a unfocus shot category and a support category.
Each category has 8 different abilities to choose from, and Reimu and Marisa get some unique abilities. So in total that's about 5,376 different shot combinations. Are all of those balanced? Who knows. Probably not.
I used Reimu Green 1 for this run because she had the best DPS in the demo.
You also get a lot of bombs with this one as letting a hyper run out gives you a bomb piece.
