Touhou Library Survivors

For no reason in particular, I've never actually bothered with Vampire Survivors, let alone other Survivor-likes. What it took was the lure of the Touhou girls to get me here. So with no competitors to possibly spoil me, I can say that I've been greatly enjoying Touhou Library Survivors. Once you find out what the more overpowered spells are and understand how to optimize the skill grid, it's very easy to reach the dps to keep the horde of enemy fairies under control. What's really making the game exciting is that you'll still have danmaku to dodge that is likely to blindside you. Hard Mode and the Extra Stage are brutally challenging and I've had a great time with them, although the latter will still take a lot of practice if I ever hope to overcome it. There's also a motivating system of resources that grant you meta-progression. So if your first attempts end up being pretty abominable failures, you're bound to improve so long as you keep collecting those point icons and books.

yes patchy my beloved witch lol

Neat an concise bullet hell and swarm survivor mix. Unique weapon mechanics would make you plan ahead for making space for new items in field in such way so it buffs your main weapon to push your strength up. And cheap for that

Very nice, simple and yet very fun Touhou fan-game. I'd really love if this game had some kind of endless waves mode, to give me a reason to keep playing even after beating it. With that, and some kind of rework to the upgrades grid passives and modifiers, I think I would spent hundreds of hours playing this. The concept of the grid is very nice and works well with the existing upgrades, but once you learn to use it properly, every run has basically the same build, which makes replayability kinda boring. Since all stats have similar value, you basically want everything: Damage, Fire Rate, Projectile speed, etc. There's some smart building by using modifiers that diminish certain stats together with spell cards that don't use such stat, but that's where the creativity ends. There's no incentive to prioritize one stat over the other. You end up wanting some "balance" because all stats are good, which makes every end-game build extremely similar with very little personalization. Also, while spell cards have "elements", they don't really change anything. There's no modifiers that buff specific elements or anything even remotely similar. I think the system could be made slightly more complex, by changing modifiers and global passives into ones that buff specific elements in a certain way, and maybe adding tiers. RNG can feel pretty rewarding when you get a high tier modifier that buffs, let's say, Metal Spellcards, and it would incentivize going for a build that buffs this type of element. Still, maybe I'm asking for too much for a 5$ game that most of the time has a 75% discount. For Touhou fans, this is a very recommendable game that can be finished in a day or two.

remilia survivors

best dollar ive spent

ᗜˬᗜ

Super fun but a bit short, wish there was more

action roguelike based on EoSD theme stages difficulty feels just right, spellcard and power up using inventory management system somehow really fun, and using life points instead of traditional health bar imo is the right choice for this game and Marisa somehow feels like very Marisa

Too addictive! One of the few Touhou games that feels official from another universe, where ZUN orders an extra beer before going home.
