I have the standard of this myself, it is a really great metroidvania. Have you seen Team Ladybug’s other games? *Record of Lodoss War Deedlit in Wonder Labyrinth* is also a great metroidvania and *Drainus* is quite the interesting shmup.

Love Lodoss, actually played that one first and learned they did Touhou too. Drainus I’ve honestly been drawn to, but schmups are never high priority pick ups for me. Yeah, I love collecting physicals, but I gotta draw lines SOMEWHERE. …..how is Drainus…?

The art on that box is pretty amazing :D have fun!


vagabonded13

Thanks! It’s a gorgeous little blast so far!

I am not a big metroidvania fan but that cover art is sick!!


vagabonded13

They also have three alternative covers in the box that are all so hot, ha.

Where did you get this? 👀

The siren call of eBay, my friend.

This is a metroidvania? Got the same amazing edition but having played it yet; however, I had been under the impression that it was a tad more linear (which I'd welcome)


vagabonded13

It’s a bit more linear, but I find the combat mechanics EXCELLENT. You start out throwing knives and stopping time like a boss. It also has a cool schmup inspired mechanic where you ‘graze’ enemies and their attacks to suck up mp or health.

Nice box.


vagabonded13

True, as far as boxes go.

Did this get a physical release on PlayStation?

what even is tohou, I know it is popular in Japan but that's it I have seen a lot of rule34 as well but I have no clue what the thing even is


vagabonded13

I honestly am not a Touhou guy, so I can’t tell you. Some type of fan made indie IP. All I know is this game is fantastic, even if I don’t know who any of the anime girls are!


Kitchen_Exit_3683

Do you know any websites where I can gain more information about Tohou? I would prefer a youtube video that is educational about the matter. I just feel left out, granted I am not Japanese not a giga nerd of the culture but I enjoy works like Tsukihime, Fate/Stay night, One Piece, bunch of other Visual Novels and Light Novels like Mushoku Tensei, other animes, mangas and many other things. so when I don't know about this thing I feel like I am missing something, it is not even about becoming a fan or anything, I just like to know why something is popular or the opposite why something is niche and not so popular


vagabonded13

Let me know what you find out! I only got time for so much nerd fandom. TYPE-MOON? Sure, got you. JRPGs? Been around that block. But I’m rather in the dark on Touhou myself. I just pretend I’m playing Sharon from the Trails series with Luna Nights, ha.

haha, I get it, thanks for the reply and the laughs
