Title: 妖々剣戟夢想
Developer: あんかけスパ
Version: Web Trial
It was definitely worth the wait. Buying it if I get a chance.
This was recorded several days ago and it took awhile to get up due to the size. The full game should already be out.
--------------------------------------------------
Action/Adventure/Hack and Slash game featuring Youmu as the main character. Plays similar to some of the Ys series if you ask me.
Youmu only has her sword, 3 skills and a spellcard. Her skills include a forward dash attack(1), projectile attack(1), and an AoE spinning whirlwind attack(2).
As of now, the most useful of the three is the dash attack as it grants invincibility frames, propels you forward, can be used in midair and does decent damage for only 1 spirit orb making it very easy to spam as you see in the video.
Her spellcard makes her swing her sword in the direction she's facing and if that connects, it'll do massive damage to just about everything on the screen(?). I believe you can also block bullets using your sword but I haven't really tried.
In the stages, you will find several colors of pots which can be broken for items.
- Green Pot: Healing Orbs(?)
- Yellow Pot: Spirit Orb Fragments
- Blue Pot: Points
Collecting 3 fragments will grant you the use of an additional spirit orb. These do carry on between stages so they are important to grab.

I played through both stages on Hard in the demo killing everything and grabbing everything I can so that sorta explains the length a bit. I die once at each boss. Gama's ground pound hits for anything between 200 to an instant kill depending on how close you are and its tracking can be a pain in the butt sometimes. Marisa, that was actually my first time fighting her.
Final thoughts:
Awesome game. Probably a few tweaks between the web trial and the final game. Balancing of skills and game mechanics maybe? Well hope the devs fix this bug where the enemies would clip through the wall if you continuously slash them into it at least. Big fairy with homing bullet got stuck once and it kept shooting me and I couldn't so anything about it.
Oh yeah. Cirno's fight is hilarious just because you can kill her without her ever doing anything by abusing the dash attacking to reset your sword combo. I messed up though but yeah.
