>>3982451 That the game is garbage riding on the coattails of the Touhou branding and characters. No one would have played this shit if it had been entirely the creator's own original work, because there's nothing worth a damn there besides the Touhou sludge.
>>3982452 I admit touhou is trash, the fanbase is retarded and their "bullet hells" are extremely dull compared to Cave or any actual shmup dev. that being said this dungeon crawler jrpg is pretty good, gets to the point fast and isn't bloated with trash dialogue and menuing like most jrpgs these days. It's refreshing, fun fast combat and the dungeons are decently made. A rare touhou that isn't total trash or gayshite
>>3982455 1. If you can't find value in 2hu that's just your opinion, your statement is wrong without any actual arguments 2. The Game mentioned (2hu artificial dream) just apes old SMT aesthetic and touhou girls without actually meshing them well together. That's my primary complain. 3. No it's not refreshing. It feels like a bad taste appropriation
>>3982451 I got my 79-cents worth. Might come back to it at some point. Don't care about fake jap cartoon girls; I would like it better if this was a badass D&D-type game, but I take what I can get? How does it compare with that Labyrinth of Touhou RPG or whatever it's called?
>>3982785 Touhou danmakus just apes actual bullet hells with anime girl aesthetics without meshing them together well, level design, patterns and mechanics are vapid
>>3982452 it's just a fun SMT2 clone anon. It's a pretty solid game. It's clear that the guy who made it is a pretty huge fan of both Touhou and SMT, and for the dollar that you spend on it it's 1000% worth the price I played it knowing essentially only the bare bones of touhou and had a lot of fun with it
>>3982850 >Touhou danmakus just apes actual bullet hells with anime girl aesthetics without meshing them together well, level design, patterns and mechanics are vapid If you are a diehard shmup purist 2hu is not going to appeal to you since your expectation is not what it is set to achieve It's ZUN trying to create some kind of fantasy world that makes use of shmup elements (magical spell cards and bombs) >>3982946 Enjoy that meaningless sense of superiority.
>>3983037 I am a very very pure shmup purist. It is my main genre and I am good at them (pretty good), I have some western world records under my belt.
>>3983106 >I have some western world records under my belt. Like that's gonna matter to whether your opinion matters or not. Touhou is not that kind of game..
>>3983037 touhou is first and foremost a way for zun to share his music. the gameplay has always been secondary and 'plot' is barely tacked on only for the sake of giving the stages some life.
>>3982455 the team ladybug game is competent but that is to be assumed blade chimera is fucking awesome btw definitely worth the five seconds it takes to pirate
>>3982452 The gameplay and dungeons are all solid, but having a likable cast, setting, and good character designs are an important part of making a complete experience and attracting attention to it I don't hold it against any dev for using an existing setting to that end, because there's basically no chance that the majority of them could've made something as good if they'd tried
>>3983961 i'm going through Blade Chimera now, very smooth gameplay fun combat with some neat ideas, liking it a lot, I just wish it was a little harder, lafter that I"m gonna do Deedlit
anyone saying it's a bad game did you actually play it more than an hour or two? It's extremely tight and well made, despite the cheesy touhou graphics but if u like retro art you will probably appreciate it desu
>>3985270 >instead He can always play both. Achiya let someone update his old Touhoumon World Link and Another World romhacks and it seems to be pretty good so far but I will wait for the evolution updates
>>3985252 Touhoumon another world/world link revised (do not play the original ones outside of curiousity or learning what kind of shit to avoid in your fakemon romhack) Touhoumon purple Touhou puppet dance (not a romhack, more like essentials but also not really) In purple and puppet dance you have to deal with new type chart which might insta filters you like me, ended up doing lv 90+ mon soloing E4 for TPP because the chart fucking confuses me >>3982452 Did /jp/ hurt you nigga This game is still a decent SMT1/2 inspired game with monster girls if you replace all 2hus with random waifus
>>3988815 oh yes. It's like 70 hours but I've beaten it start to finish multiple times. Great game when you enjoy tinkering with party formations and the like.
>>3982455 Nahh touho project is fun, problem is that not many follow the characters guidelines. >reimu literal miko obsessed with money and toilets because the bimbogami shrine has no proper toilets or money. >youmu literal control over most ghosts, is afraid of ghosts that will literally pee herself at the sight of one. Sadly no one dares to use the settings.
>>3989485 I like Touhou shitpost videos and Reireimu made me cry. Unfortunately Touhou requires the souls of the youngest generation and this generation is soulless so it's been up to the ojisans to sustain it in recent years.
>>3988815 Very good. Game borrows abit of Saga features (hp always heals to full every fight and formations) but there are some unique features you don't see much in jrpgs even nowdays One major downside if you don't like grinding too much is this is one of those jrpgs where inactive party members gets 0 exp and starting from Eientei you need to level more than just 5+1 characters
>>3991435 no new party members get like 1000% higher experience points depending on the monsters they're fighting so you catch up in minutes and grinding is completely unnecessary to beat the game, though if you want to grind anyway it goes by even faster if you reduce the difficulty. Same as Etrian Odyssey basically
>>3987755 >In purple and puppet dance you have to deal with new type chart which might insta filters you like me, ended up doing lv 90+ mon soloing E4 for TPP because the chart fucking confuses me Shinki, my beloved, who protected me during this period.
>>3990295 >>3991853 It's funny, because in Devil of Decline, Yukari is considered the hardest protagonist to play as since grinding too much is impossible with her.
