Touhou Shoujo Tale of Beautiful Memories / 東方少女綺想譚

没招了，每次打到二婶子这里就会出现绿字bug，怎么都关不掉，希望解决。

This game simply makes me happy; my go to comfort game. Gameplay wise, it may be a carbon copy of Super Mario RPG, but this version of Gensokyo is just utterly charming. The dialogs are written with love for mostly every character, highlighting their positive sides. Everytime I play this game, I just feel happy. This is my absolute favorite Touhou fan game. (And it seems the game breaking bug is finally fixed, so you don't need a wolf-reader to change a name in the enemy files anymore)

游戏是好游戏，但为什么每次我打到神子那里都显示文件错误，然后就没法运行了

It's fine for a free fan game, but asking $30 is insane. The English translation isn't just bad, it isn't just buggy, they straight up misspelled character names. The one thing you would expect to be actually correct regardless of english competency. The music is um, it's fine I guess, doesn't sound like any Touhou game I ever played before though. It's just this generic soundtrack that feels like it came from a licensed pack on itch.io for 2 bux. Controls are bad, just bad. Even after remapping my controller binds I still found the game awkward to control. The platforming is sloppy to boot. Combat however was fun for a bit, but leveling is slow to a fault. It gives no feeling of progression whatsoever and the amount of grinding for even one level is way too much. Not that there is a shortage of fights, infact I got stuck in a loop of beating and enemy and another fight starting instantly as soon as the world map loaded. It wouldn't stop, wouldn't let me move away, and just slowly drained my items and HP until I gamed over. I never had a game softlock itself with a nonstop enemy spawn before. Obviously it's a Mario RPG tribute, but it comes off more as the "We have Mario RPG at home" option less than a proper homage to it. Plus at it's $30 asking price you might as well just buy Mario RPG's remake. I mean everything in here is lifted from it shamelessly. Attacks, timing, area layouts, enemy types, I could keep going. Sadly it rips off all of those things but doesn't bother to try and feel like a Touhou game at all. I love old school RPGs and can overlook a lot but charging that much for what really should be a cheap as free game is unforgivable. Skip it, it's not worth it, your going to have a bad time.

So... this is another case of [Insert video game title here] but Touhou. In our case, we have Super Mario RPG but Touhou. The N Main Shop otherwise releases NSFW games, so this one feels like "You know what it'd be funny if we released a regular title". As such, most characters have a considerably large bust. Except Marisa, hehe. As for the game... it's suprisingly good. Combat feels nice and the story is interesting, though expect translation weirdness. The game has a decent playable cast, on top of which so far I haven't been forced to use specific character set. I found that which characters are active members influences who speaks up during story dialogues. From good points, equipment changes how character attacks. This makes it more interesting and encourages upgrading weapons. Currency is not particularly strict, which means you can easily go without much grinding. All attacks are well animation. I mean Tenshi doing funny/cool poses during World Creation Press, cmon. If Keystone bouncing around wasn't funny enough, Tenshi striking poses is the cherry on top. Whenever enemies attack, you can press the jump button at the right time to reduce damage taken or, in case of debuffs, avoid the debuff. However, timing for those attacks have been often unclear to me. Exploring is fun. In most cases you are rewarded for roaming around and looking into things. If you wish not to get into battles, you can also opt to shoot down mob enemies to remove them from the room. There are some places where translation proves to be problematic. When I was doing the music puzzle in Prismriver mansion, apparently the hint for one letter was outright wrong and I wouldnt know until I found you can skip puzzles and check notes by shooting the note ghosts. Additionally, when the game tries to hint you to ask Sekibanki for help in Youkai Mountain, it refers to her with a weird name which can be misleading. I had to use a guide to figure that part out. In general, the game is good and has lots of content for its price. I would say it's one of the better touhou games out there.

相信对东方早期同人游戏有点了解的应该都听过绮想谭的大名。名不虚传的好游戏，很复古向的高度重视地图探索的RPG游戏（原型应该是马里奥RPG），同时战斗的深度不是太深的同时也足够有趣；本身剧情只写到绀珠传，相当不错的剧情把所有人物联系到了一起，不仅美术好本身推图体验也绝对是独一档的爽，非常适合喜欢RPG的东方众尝试。 不过后期战斗qte多的令人生烦，还没足够的提示，只能靠目押反复试错这块很让人反感；另外臭名昭著的steam版神子战素材丢失的恶性bug似乎在最近的更新里修复了（？）。
