Touhou: Fearless Frogslayer

good game but a bit short, the boss rush its a fun extra challenge

感谢朋友的礼物，真的是一部很有意思、很有东方风味的小游戏。 剧情上来说是站在琪露诺视角的很有童趣的小故事，包括绘本中的插图都给人一种很有童趣的感觉。 音乐也是很有原作风格并且给整部作品添彩的重要组成部分，从主界面到战斗曲都给我留下了很深的印象。[spoiler]虽然主界面的音乐有点太吵闹了但是也很东方不是吗（笑 [/spoiler] 战斗可以看出并作者非简简单单填充内容，而是作者怀着“要做得好玩一点”这样的心情来做的。操作上是现在流行的回合制但有即时反应闪避的系统，虽然对我来说其实苦手，但是我觉得这是好的。战斗难度的渐进很有层次，敌人招式的设计也很有趣。 总体而言我认为是很有意思、很值得一玩的。 再次感谢朋友的安利和礼物！

Great Touhou game! a short game with much love and detail. Animations and ost are beautifull, The fighting style in fun and the characters are amazing, Worth it 110%!

nice

Here is a shortened version of my full review posted on Catholic Game Reviews Story: Cirno and her best friend Daiyousei wake up to find a strange advertisement posted outside their home. This ad states “Premium Ice, Buy Now!”. As Cirno’s life centers around ice, she is quickly intrigued by the prospect of encountering some high quality ice. She soon meets up with the “businessman” who put up the ad and is sent on a journey to acquire enough money to buy this coveted ice. Gameplay: Very unique gameplay. It’s a turn-based game but you only have one character throughout the entire game, Cirno. I’ve never played a turn-based game where you only have one character. It’s like a turn-based boss rush as you never fight any “regular enemies”, just bosses. Another cool thing about the game is that you can dodge enemy attacks. To do this simply move left or right in a timely manner. It can get pretty tricky later on to get the timing right but it feels so good when you pull it off. You also have the basics of every turn-based game: melee, magic, and a block button. The melee option allows you to do basic melee attacks. Then there is magic which includes a variety of attacks with special effects like freezing the enemy or lowering their stats. There is also magic you can use on yourself such as stat buffs. Lastly there is the block button which lowers the damage of the next incoming attack. And of course all the magic is ice themed, how cool. To add another layer to those basic options, every four turns, the player is given an ultimate token that can be used to power up a melee attack, magic, or your block. Lastly, exploring the overworld will allow you to find a lot of fun easter eggs for characters from the world of Touhou. Graphics: The game has a pixel art style that has a lot of charm that you will feel right away from the epic feeling the main menu gives. Characters show a lot of emotion as their sprites’ expressions change frequently and the text boxes are decorated differently such as Cirno’s having the number nine (a reference to a community joke). Overworld sprites also have lots of energy as they react to situations such as Cirno falling over when she reads about premium ice. Battles have excellent presentation and scale. All the battles feature animated character sprites that have different animations for each of their moves. Attacks also have a lot of animation work put into them which creates excitement but also serves the gameplay as they telegraph to the player when they can be dodged. The backgrounds are also animated and feature Cirno moving when she dodges. Battle UI is very concise and effectively communicates all the complexities expanded upon in the gameplay section. Defeating each boss adds a delightful little touch to the save menu. Cirno draws a picture of each defeated foe in crayon and adds some funny commentary alongside it. They’re messy and colorful, just like a child’s drawings, which will fill you with joy. It also allows the player to feel a sense of progression as they see the notebook fill up with sketches. Music/Sound: The music is really epic. I love the main battle theme, I’m pretty sure it’s a remix of Cirno’s main theme from the original games. It is very intense and almost feels like a Final Fantasy theme. There are also adaptive tracks where the song changes as you get further into a fight. Overworld music does a good job at setting the appropriate tone and is usually quite peaceful to listen to. Value: The game is only about four hours long if you are taking the time to explore. This isn’t a bad thing as you are only being asked for $6. With all the effort that is placed into this game, it’s okay that it’s short. Many games can overstay their welcome by trying to have long play times but it’s a nice feeling to not feel like there is any fluff. Scoring: 90% Story: 4/5 Gameplay: 5/5 Visuals: 5/5 Music/Sound: 4/5

She really is the strongest

9/9 best game to bully frogs in. That bum Reimu could never compare to my GOAT

Honestly i was expecting a gimmick game but this blew me away! Normally I want games to be shorter, but in this rare case I was left satisfied but wanting a Sequel so bad. Tons of fun and a definite reccomend!

Game offers a good bit of challenge in its fights and is an overall very fun game, bought this to celebrate cirno day and didn't disappoint, it's not the longest but it's also not the most expensive and even the main story alone is about 4 hours so it's still within my price to time ratio especially taking enjoyment into account

My first Touhou game that I decided to play for myself after watching a stream of it. And it sure was a wholesome little gem, even if the dodging during combat did sometimes raise my blood pressure a little bit! It's OK though, Cirno's strongest ice managed to cool me down in the end!
