Touhou: Scarlet Curiosity
Select Either of Two Playable Characters for Twice the Adventure Choose to play as the titular vampire, Remilia Scarlet, or her devoted maid, Sakuya Izayoi. Each offers a different gameplay style with unique mechanics: Remilia’s attacks hit hard, while Sakuya’s are more technical. Use Five Buttons to Carve Out Countless Swaths of Destruction The game’s controls are simple, fun, and endlessly customizable: you’ll learn a variety of skills as you level up, which you can assign to the game’s action buttons however you’d like. Build Hit Combos for Greater Success in Battle The more you’re able to hit enemies in rapid succession, the higher your attack power will be, and the more experience you’ll receive per kill. The effect will wear off over time, however, or when you’re struck by a foe – whichever comes first!

A good fun game.
Story:
Following either Remilia or Sakuya, barely any difference aside from dialogues from Remilia or Sakuya. The Scarlet Devil Mansion was attacked, and so one or the other set off to investigate the rumors. This is due to them being blamed for the for the monster.
System:
A simple hack n slash type, with a leveling system to it. Reach the right level and you'll unlock either a regular skill or an ultimate.
Remilia:
Remilia is better at platforming, and faster movements. Her attacks are more wide range, but on a smaller scale. She is typically one on one though, which can make battles slow.
Sakuya:
Sakuya now, is the better out of the two, far better. She is both fast, and decisively attacks both one on one, and a massive range. Her attacks are devastating, making short work of enemies and bosses.
Difficulty:
Main story is pretty easy. However, post story content is more difficult and provides more of a challenge. That's really when the projectiles starts to get quite a lot.
Art Style:
Pretty good.
Music:
Amazing
Overall:
Really good game, but Remilia needed work, her style is very tedious. Sakuya is much more fun to play.

Not a particularly hard game. It was pretty fun, but I wouldn't buy it at full price.
The game is pretty jank, combat feedback can be a tad rough, and the last achievements to 100% can be somewhat tedious.
I did enjoy it though which is why I could 100% at all, kind of simple as that.
Made for a great Steam Deck game.

Very fun game! It's a little bit janky, and there aren't really such a thing as i-frames for most things so it gets a little difficult to remember that, but it's definitely not impossible or unfair by any stretch of the imagination and I enjoyed it enough to do the post-game stuff too.

great game so far! I don't know much about touhou but the game is fun! this'll sound like a diss, but the level design and gameplay loop (aside from the more intense bullet hell stuff) reminds me a lot of ben 10 alien force on the wii. i played that a lot as a kid so it really puts me in my element here. also! considering that this is a fan passion project, the environments are pretty detailed, and give a great idea of the world these characters live in (though granted it's probably very well established in the proper touhou games). overall, i'm stoked to finish it when i can, and between this and fumo kart, i'm convinced that i should play the original games and get a better understanding of what's going on.

Great RPG. I love playing through this (even if not for the story) the difficulty is PERFECT. It simulates as spin-off of Touhou, but it's enjoyable by all players, new to touhou or not. 10/10 recommend getting.
