![]() And true enough, the series remains fairly simple and consistent throughout. ZUN makes repeated comments that the Touhou games attempt to fight the persisting trend of STGs overly complicating themselves with options and features, opting to let players simply have fun dodging bullets. All games have difficulty levels, the easier ones being more like old school shooters if you'd add some more bullets and make them slower, and the harder ones completely filling the screen with fireworks. Originally, the games were made with inspiration from DoDonPachi and Darius Gaiden, designing shooters around a greater number of bullets in beautiful patterns. ![]() Touhou, or the Touhou Project as it is officially known, is a series of 2D Shooters (abbreviated STGs), all made by 1 person commonly called ZUN, from art, to music, to coding. Give it a try! But I don't know what Touhou is! It's a bit of a shame that on GAF ResetEra and most places, Touhou is only associated with porn and moe - the main series goes a long way back and it's super fun and is worth the attention! This OP is here to hopefully present this subtler side of Touhou for the people who don't know about it, or just satisfy the curiosity of whoever cares. ![]() The art and story are PG-rated innocence, charm and fun, the music is great, and the gameplay is tight and arcadey and refined to the maximum degree year by year since 1995.īeyond any fan material or ridiculous Lunatic 1cc runs, I think the games can stand on their own as a great franchise. The games are really good, even if you aren't very good at danmaku bullet hells, on Easy and Normal - those crazy Lunatic-difficulty videos are intimidating, but if you ever played games like Gradius III, Touhou isn't in an entirely different universe. When you hear "Touhou" on the internet, it's probably about the fanbase or fan content, and the characters are sometimes naked… and after that there are the ridiculous bullet-filled screenshots/videos that try their hardest to intimidate outsiders, but that's only the end if you want it to be! The image of Touhou in the eyes of passing observers is not even half of it. But I know Touhou is about creepy porn/waifus and impossibly hard bullet curtains for masochists. Welcome! This thread is here to talk about anything Touhou, whether it's your experience with the main games, news, fan content, hamburgers, and MIDI trumpets.
