Touhou: Scarlet Curiosity

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.

Music? Great
Gameplay? Easy to pickup, can be choppy
Touhou? Touhou
Graphics? Its impressive for fanwork
Difficulty? Suffer

All in all, good game, but like don't expect this to be a rare gem

got all of the achievements under 13 hours. once you get used to the game, it's relatively simple and fun. a met a few bugs here an there(screen froze, had to restart the computer), but this game auto-saves, so i didn't lose any progress. the graphics are really nostalgic, remind me of games from early 2000's, and the music is also quite nice. cool challenges, fun farming. an awesome game overall

I also love Remi

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.

Remilia is the main character.
10/10.

This is the weirdest Ys game I've ever played. There's not even Adol, just some little girl and some chick with knives that isn't Karna.

... All joking aside, this is a serviceable ARPG with 2hus in it. A bit basic and rough around the edges, but if you enjoy either of these things, you'll probably enjoy this.

Now, rough around the edges, I say? Why yes. The platforming as Sakuya, frankly, sucks. Remilia has the ability to slow the descent of her jumps, allowing for more precise landings, but Sakuya does not. Often, I'd find myself either overshooting a jump or just landing on an edge, only to slip off. There's also knock back from enemies, meaning that you can land a jump, then get hit and fall off anyway. This even happens in areas with narrow paths that you can fall off. Now, the real annoyance of this, other than having to redo things, is that you lose money. Granted, money isn't that important until end game, and by then you can get lots, but it's still annoying to go broke because there's a jump or five that just suck because you picked the wrong character.

Remilia and Sakuya, sadly enough, share a lot of the same equipment. Weapons are unique, but they can, will, and do, share a large number of armors and accessories, though each one does have some uniques. The issue with gear is that they're all random, stats wise. There's little rhyme or reason as to what item has what stats, and you can run across items that totally tank most, only to have massive HP boosts, or attack, or any other stat.

Granted, it's perhaps better than just having an objectively best piece of gear, but it's a bit troublesome if you want to have at least decent stats in everything. And again, because it's random, it could mean you will grind for hours just to find something decent. You could go whole maps finding nothing but trash, or waste all of your money from end game boss grinding on buying stuff that is objectively worse in every way.

This is why the end game item dispenser is a gacha machine, because it's all a gamble. And at 40,000 a pop, it's a big gamble.

So what's actually good? The music, of course; this is a 2hu fan game, after all. The combat is also good for what it is, with each character having a decent number of skills with which to use, though the spell card selection is pretty slim. However, you do not level these skills, instead you just earn them via leveling... and, well, it can lead to some skills just being objectively useless as time goes on. Especially with Remilia, as some of her newer skills are just straight upgrades to previous skills.

The plot... well, it's a 2hu game. Especially since the Scarlet Devil Mansion gets destroyed, so it's totally legit. It's not that super deep or compelling, but it would fit in pretty well with the franchise as a whole, and it's very low stakes (Gensokyo isn't really in danger, there's no Lunarian plots, Yukari isn't fooling around), but still enjoyable.

This game has a level 99 cap. You do not actually need to go this high, but you can. It involves a lot of secret boss grinding... and you will come to hate her track, even if it's actually good. I've heard some people claim that Remilia is stronger than Sakuya, but if anything, I think it's the other way around. Sakuya, outside of the terrible platforming, feels like easy mode, especially when she gets her final skill. It shreds the secret boss pretty easily, and only gets easier with more levels. Remilia, on the other hand, I found has a harder time with bosses, and her final skill isn't nearly as good as Sakuya's. But she does have the better spell cards, so...

But if you want even harder mode, just turn on bullet hell. Then cry.

So yeah, this game is pretty good and you should get it if you enjoy ARPGs and 2hu.

dont like the all fighting little dialogue formula but i enjoyed the models and vibes
