プレイヤー（自機）紹介
○楽園の素敵な巫女
博麗 霊夢（はくれい れいむ）
Hakurei Reimu
種族：人間
能力：主に空を飛ぶ程度の能力
毎度お馴染みの巫女さん。博麗神社の巫女さん。
ちまたに不思議なカードが流通していた。
そのカードには人間、妖怪達の秘密が込められている様に感じ、調査に行くしかないと思った。
取り敢えずはカードの売人を手当たり次第探してカードを根こそぎ簒奪する目論見だった。
○普通の魔法使い
霧雨 魔理沙（きりさめ まりさ）
Kirisame Marisa
種族：人間
能力：魔法を使う程度の能力
幻想郷に住む、普通な魔法使い。蒐集癖を持つ。
カードには多種多様の魔力が込められていた。
知っている人間、妖怪の魔力ばかりである。
こんなに面白いカードは他の人よりも早く集めなければいけないと思った。
きっと皆そうするに違いない。そうなったら、値段が上がる一方だからだ。
○瀟洒なメイド
十六夜 咲夜（いざよい さくや）
Izayoi Sakuya
種族：人間
能力：時間を止める程度の能力
紅魔館でメイド長をしている。すましているので分かりにくいが、実は少し天然。
ちまたに不思議なカードが流通していた。
そのカードにパチュリー様が非常に興味を持たれ、全てを回収するように命じられた。
確かに興味深いカードだった。中にはお嬢様の魔力が込められたカードもあるという。
しかし、お嬢様はピンピンしている。これは一体何を意味しているのか……。
○奇跡の現人神
東風谷 早苗（こちや さなえ）
Kochiya Sanae
種族：人間
能力：奇跡を起こす程度の能力
カードの売人は妖怪の山を中心に活動していた。
推測するにカードの生産元も近くにあるのではないか。
山にある守矢神社はそれを看過できなかった。
放って置けば、また博麗神社に持って行かれてしまうのではないか、と。

Excellent SHMUP. The unique card system to this game is really fun, giving more of a reason to kill enemies beyond score once you've powered up. Being able to choose cards at the start of a run (once you've unlocked enough) makes it so you can always use your favorites, but the randomness of most of the other ones you get to pick means each run is a little different than the others, even beyond the characters.
Each character is fun to play and does change how you play somewhat, between their different shots and their different bomb. Sanae ended up my favorite, but I see arguments for all of them being someone's favorite.
The music, as always with ZUN, is amazing, as are the new character designs. I LOVE the Final Boss and her theme dearly, they're ingrained into my head at this point.
If you want to get into Touhou, I would recommend this one first, honestly. It's a fair bit easier than many other I've tried, and the accessibility in steam is great. The one hurdle is installing thcrap to patch it to English.

Holy sh*t. Crazy stuff
This is my first Touhou shmup game and i couldn't care less about the lore (apparently almost unlimited) but the gameplay... is INSANE. I can clearly understand why is so popular.
I have played other shmups like the Space Moth saga. Unforgiving difficulty but this game...is off the charts.
It has a "lunatic" difficulty that is hell since the first second...but easy mode is not much better xd
Really crazy

very fun game, cards are not balanced, but thats what makes it FUNN!!! play around with different builds, some completely trivialize the game while others make the game a literal hell, try it!!!

Is it balanced? No.
Is it fun? Yes.
Your shot is extremely weak and losing any power is rough. Use Sanae and go for a high dps build. Reimu and Marisa don't really cut it this time around, and Sakuya is incredibly janky.
Card upgrade system is fun and makes the game very replayable. The cards themselves are not balanced either; there are a handful of really strong ones and a lot of borderline useless ones. Difficulty is average, can be made easier or harder depending on which cards you choose. Bullet patterns are solid, stages feel a little uninspired at times.
A highly flawed game but still an enjoyable game, out of Touhou 15-19 it's definitely my favorite.

1CC done (too lazy to do 16 and 17 for now)
I didn't expect to get a 1CC run immediately after my first complete run with continue...especially without using spell pratice,thprac or even stage practice. (even for DDC I did all spell card with spell card pratice and tried a hard difficulty run before starting my 1CC run) Seem that I got stupidly lucky with the ability card I got (Byakuren's scroll card basically carried my run)
I've barely scratched the surface of the game's complexity but since I always write a review affter a 1CC run:
The ability card system is nice and push player the replay the game multiple time to unlock more card (as a starting ability) and more slot...but some cards are overpowered.

i got alot to say
fun little Bullet hell/shmup and roguelite
and the most underrated Touhou game out there, and the first touhou game i ever beat.
the music is not the best here but its fine ig,some music is fire though.
its unbalanced but fun
would be cool if ZUN came back to this game and added some sort of Steam Market support or bespoke market support ,you can sell your spell cards collected for money or steam credits or something similar.
since touhou 6-8(atleast in the past or some of them came to steam nowadays) arent on Steam i decided to buy this instead(and probably the first Touhou game i bought on Steam)
and i had to buy Touhou on Steam cause i own a bunch of Fumos (bootleg cause i heard the rare ones are rare and expensive)
note:
this game is only in Japanese by default but there is Touhou Community Reliant Automatic Patcher (Thcrap) which is a community translation mod(and you can do other stuff not just changing the language)
you can find links to them here:

The game is difficult, but it can be generous some times as well.
