Story and characters
Players who bring up Story and characters mostly praise it.
This in turn means you won't get much of the characters' personalities, something the Touhou fanbase loves to play around with.
106 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
+ Moment-to-moment gameplay is exciting and fun.
77 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
Lastly with the positives, as is expected of Touhou, the soundtrack is pretty good (even if I'm not into all of the genres, it's nice that the Dev tried to vary it a little) and the combat effects are very fitting.
25 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
Pretty visuals, pretty good music, and satisfying attack moves and combat.
19 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Optimization
Players who bring up Optimization mostly praise it.
I will say though, the full release did well to improve the game's optimization because I recall when I played the demo I was experiencing massive frame drops from just looking at a tree or a single direction even though there didn't seem to be anything heavy going on graphically but now in the full game those issues appear to be gone now; well done, devs!
8 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Multiplayer
Players who bring up Multiplayer mostly praise it.
There isn't an endless mode and there isn't any other game modes, campaign, multiplayer, or other ways to play.
