    In spite of the gritty, Castlevania-like vibe the game gives off, Remilia's unexpected explanation brings everything back to Touhou, lol

    another example of the orb strategy of dealing with flight is seen during the solar pillar fight in terraria 1.3+, where if you fly, you aggro high power enemies called crawltipedes, and they also don't drop anything special.

      "Open world" and "Metroidvania" are kinda mutually exclusive terms. Do you mean, a more expansive interconnected map instead of level-based sections? If so, you're really asking for a more Metroidvania-style game like Symphony of the Night, as opposed to a traditional Castlevania-style one.

    I was curious to see how you were going to approach talking about these fangames and I was pleasantly surprised that the video is almost a full guide detailing the important aspects of the game as well as several hints and tips in fighting the bosses or finding lives. It must've taken a lot of effort to make this video and I think you did a very great job! With regards to Touhouvania, I've only tried it once and stopped around midway through because it just wasn't my cup of tea. If I ever decide to try it again, I'll probably refer to this video to help guide me through. Interested in seeing what other fangames you cover next!

  • @MrDragonboy96

    Hey, I find it really interessting that the first game you choose is one of the only Touhou fangames that didn't work for me. I played it but then I had this ultra lag in the first stage which made it impossible for me to continue. So I am glad to see a good video about this game^^ I didn't expect you to go that much into detail while playing it but it was pretty interessting :D It just shows how much you like this game by giving it the attention it deserves. I should try to play this game again since I am a big fan of the Metroidvania genre and Touhou of course xD One thing you always teach me is the pronunciation of all the characters because this is something I still have to learn. I was quite shocked to hear how you are supposed to pronounce Cirno or Patchouli xD So keep up the good work and I am looking forward to see what the next incident has to offer :D

I wanted to start with this one because it's my favorite, so it ended up jam packed because I considered all of it worth mentioning. The more story focused games should be good practice for reserving myself, I hope.

  • @BamdTheBamd
    @BamdTheBamd 3 роки тому +11

    A bit disappointed that the only difference in difficulty is just damage. It could've added more enemies, extra "spell cards" or make the patterns faster and denser, but that might've been too much effort.
    I used to only care about the games as someone who usually ignores story, but I eventually read the manga and found the lore pretty interesting, so hopefully I can be as knowledgeable as Akyuu.
    also can't believe cirno is actually useful
