Touhou Kouryuudou ~ Unconnected Marketeers (Touhou 18 UM) Sanae Normal 1CC (With Cards and Bombs)
0(As A Heads Up while I'm uploading this video I'm still going to be on break for a few more weeks but I just wanted to upload this video ahead of time.)
So here we are, Touhou 18 is now finally out and I have to say I quite enjoy it greatly compared to the other games in the series as because it feels like a rogue-like game where here you try to defeat bosses but after defeating one you can buy a card and be able to use it on your next run. This in turn gives a ton of ability cards for the player to use which (In My Opinion) makes the game a ton more enjoyable as the player figures out what cards to buy/use and how to utilize them effectively. As well the majority of cards (In My Opinion again) are pretty fun to use as they use other character's abilities from the other games (Like Reimu's homing shots or Cirno's Ice shot) (BTW there are about 54ish cards total to collect). The Card collecting mechanic also makes the game re-playable to collect the cards.
Also My opinion on the Music is, is that it has some of my favorite stage themes as well as one of my favorite stage 6 and extra stage boss themes as most of these feel relaxing or it gets me pumped up while fighting the boss!
So in general I'll say this is probably one of my Favorite Touhou games to date as it has possibly my favorite mechanic of the series as well as difficult but not overly difficult (I'm looking at you Touhou 11) bullet patterns on Normal mode (Aside from Stage 4's boss IMO) making this (IMO) a perfect Touhou game that anyone can get into and enjoy!
