These pillars signaled the start of the Spell Carnival, a festival hosted by Yukari Yakumo where one must put their Spell Cards on the line in battle.
In order to investigate the true intentions of Yukari Yakumo, who initiated the Spell Carnival so suddenly, Reimu Hakurei joins the fight for Spell Cards.

对于车万题材的游戏,我玩的并不多,印象最深刻的大概就是东方月神夜了。而在今年6月份,由地雷社制作的《东方符卡嘉年华》在steam上线。游戏内登场了许多大家比较熟悉的角色,像灵梦、魔理沙、咲夜、幽幽子等等,完全可以说是车万厨狂喜! 《东方符卡嘉年华》是以东方project为题材制作的一款融合了弹幕射击与即时战略的同人游戏。故事依然发生在那个大家都熟悉的地方——幻想乡。大妖怪『八云紫』在幻想乡内竖起了无数的柱子,准备举办一场活动【符斗祭】,失败的人不仅要输掉自己的符卡,而且就连自己也要成为胜利者的手下。 游戏玩法方面简单来说就是,视觉小说+弹幕射击+即时战略。那么接下来就给大家一一介绍一下,游戏采用的是动漫画风,这方面应该是他家最值得一说的优点了,毕竟他家的立绘质量那是一顶一的好,而且在地图内探索的时候,玩家操控的角色是3dQ版的形象,看上去十分的卡哇伊。至于剧情方面,比较偏轻松日常,且支线剧情不少。 游戏有三个难度,如果只是想体验剧情的玩家,这里推荐直接简单就行。游戏的战斗部分则是弹幕射击+即时战略,玩家在游戏里面需要操控角色再躲开弹幕的同时击败敌人。玩家在游戏中最多操控5名角色进行闪避、攻击,其中移动并不会消耗任何东西,但是技能攻击会消耗ap值,技能有两种,一种是发射弹幕进行攻击,另一种则是恢复或者给角色赋予状态变化。游戏内存在擦弹机制,即消耗ap来躲避弹幕,且这个时候触碰到的子弹会转化为符咒量表,当其满了之后可以用来释放王牌符卡(大招),释放大招的时候有动画演出,有点类似金铲铲中的小小英雄处决的感觉。游戏的操纵看着很复杂,实际也很复杂,不过好在有着辅助功能能够同时操控多位角色进行移动和攻击,能够让玩家在前期更加容易上手。 游戏的缺点就是由于是移植过来的,游戏的键位对不上键盘上面的,在游玩之前记得更改一下。 整体而言,本作是一款质量算中上的东方同人游戏,且游戏玩法有一定的创新,就是有点硬核,不太好上手。对于粉丝来说的话,还是值得入手的,毕竟现在60元的价格,性价比还算不错。 [quote] 欢迎大家关注[url=https://store.steampowered.com/curator/45337284/]乌托邦鉴赏家[/url]&加入[url=https://steamcommunity.com/groups/yxwtb]游戏乌托邦[/url],我们评测各种类型的游戏,无论规模大小,无论题材风格!

I love Idea Factory, Compile Heart and Sting !!!
有卡 有中文 有成就
Touhou Spell Carnival is an ambitious genre crossover that attempts to fuse the precision-heavy chaos of bullet-hell shooting with the deliberate positioning and planning of a grid-based tactical RPG. Developed jointly by Idea Factory, Compile Heart, and STING, and published internationally by Idea Factory International, Inc., the game is both a celebration of the Touhou Project’s long-running identity and a bold experiment that reimagines how its core mechanics can function outside traditional shmup design. The story is framed around a mysterious new event in Gensokyo known as the Spell Carnival, a competition announced through strange pillars appearing across the land. As usual, shrine maiden Reimu Hakurei steps in to investigate, joined by a rotating cast of familiar faces drawn from across the Touhou universe. The narrative leans into lighthearted banter, character-driven humor, and episodic encounters rather than heavy drama. While the plot itself is relatively simple, it serves as an effective excuse to bring together a wide range of characters and justify the unusual battle format, which feels more like a festival of magical duels than a conventional war story. The real heart of the experience lies in its combat system, which is unlike most tactical RPGs. Battles take place on grid-based maps, but instead of static turns where players can calmly analyze the field, combat unfolds under constant pressure from active bullet patterns. Characters move, attack, and activate skills using action points, all while enemy spell cards fill the screen with projectiles that must be physically dodged in real time. This hybrid design forces players to think spatially and tactically while also maintaining moment-to-moment awareness, making positioning and timing just as important as raw stats or abilities. A defining mechanic carried over from classic Touhou games is grazing, where narrowly avoiding bullets builds resources and momentum rather than punishing risk. In Touhou Spell Carnival, grazing becomes a strategic tool, rewarding players who dare to move characters close to danger in order to fuel powerful spell cards or gain battlefield advantages. This creates a constant tension between safety and optimization, pushing players to engage with the chaos rather than simply retreating to defensive positions. Environmental objects and map features further complicate encounters, offering cover, buffs, or obstacles that can dramatically shift how battles unfold. As the game progresses, the complexity of encounters ramps up significantly. Early stages ease players into the hybrid system, but later battles can become dense with overlapping bullet patterns, multiple enemies, and large party formations. Managing several characters at once under this pressure can feel overwhelming, especially when support units or positioning-dependent skills are involved. The absence of generous pause or slowdown options during combat means mistakes are often punished quickly, and success depends on developing both tactical foresight and mechanical confidence. Character variety is one of the game’s strongest points. Drawing from the extensive Touhou cast, each playable character feels mechanically distinct, with spell cards and abilities that reflect their established personalities and powers. Party composition matters, encouraging experimentation with different combinations of damage dealers, area controllers, and support characters. Between battles, interactions at locations like the Hakurei Shrine help flesh out relationships and maintain the series’ trademark charm, ensuring that the game doesn’t become purely systems-driven despite its mechanical density. Visually, Touhou Spell Carnival embraces a colorful and expressive presentation. Character artwork and Live2D-style animations give conversations personality, while combat effects are vibrant and often spectacular. Spell cards fill the screen with elaborate patterns that are visually striking, though this abundance of effects can occasionally impact readability during particularly intense encounters. The soundtrack complements the action with energetic arrangements that fit both the festive tone of the Spell Carnival and the high-pressure nature of combat. While the game’s creativity is undeniable, it is not without drawbacks. The learning curve can be steep, especially for players unfamiliar with either tactical RPGs or bullet-hell shooters. The combination of real-time pressure and strategic decision-making may feel punishing to those who prefer slower, more methodical tactics. Additionally, while the narrative is charming, it remains relatively light and may not satisfy players looking for deep story development or dramatic stakes. Ultimately, Touhou Spell Carnival succeeds as a daring reinterpretation of what a Touhou spin-off can be. It doesn’t aim to replace traditional Touhou shooters or standard tactical RPGs, but instead carves out its own space by forcing two very different design philosophies to coexist. For players willing to embrace its demanding hybrid systems, the game offers a uniquely kinetic tactical experience that feels true to the spirit of Touhou while pushing the franchise in an unexpected direction. It’s a challenging, sometimes chaotic, but undeniably inventive entry that rewards patience, adaptability, and a love for controlled chaos. Rating: 7/10
遊戲不錯 但操作挺複雜
I was left speechless, it is a wonderful work of art, I loved it, they should make a movie or an anime of this, because I would definitely pay for it, I cried during the credits, thank you for this game, I don't regret it at all
东方海王星了属于是,地雷味太重了,战斗悬一悬比海王星还无聊XD
[h1] 最羡慕三头六臂的一集 [/h1] [h3] 先说结论 [/h3] 《东方符卡嘉年华》是一款瑕不掩瑜的东方同人佳作,本作美术、剧情均非常优秀,但战斗操作体验较为“分裂”。因此本作对于纯剧情“车万人”来说非常值得一玩,但对追求游戏玩法的普通玩家则建议谨慎入手。 [h3] 游戏剧情、流程 [/h3] 《东方符卡嘉年华》的故事围绕八云紫一时兴起举办的“符斗祭”展开,玩家需跟随博丽灵梦和雾雨魔理沙解决接连发生的异变:从蕾米莉亚暴走到幽幽子、铃仙等角色异常,最终揭开这一系列事件的幕后黑手。因此本作的主线剧情属于经典的“东方异变套路”,但本作的支线日常剧情则相当生动,各个角色互动也很有趣,这一点在神社据点的支线日常(如魔理沙偷书被追、幽幽子吃团子吐槽)尤为明显。 [h3] 游戏玩法、美术[/h3] 《东方符卡嘉年华》的玩法则融合视觉小说与战棋+弹幕射击。游戏的战斗需要同时操控五名角色走位、躲弹幕、释放技能;并且每回合还有行动点限制,导致玩家在游玩时需要大脑“全速运转”,并且本作的键鼠适配较差,需要玩家自行适应或者使用手柄。 但本作的美术部分与细节部分可以说是相当用心:本作的动态立绘相当精致,并且自带全流程配音;角色技能也高度还原原作(如灵梦清屏、魔理沙激光穿格)。 [h3] 总的而言 [/h3] 《东方符卡嘉年华》是一款相当不错的东方同人佳作。本作的优点是音画表现相当优秀,游戏细节还算细致;缺点是游戏操作非常“诡异”,甚至游戏的策略性被本作的繁琐的操作所拖累。不过本作整体来看瑕不掩瑜,强烈推荐东方粉丝入手(这游戏在东方同人里真算不错的了),但对于“重玩法”的玩家则建议“考虑考虑”。 [quote]欢迎关注三真万法鉴赏组: https://store.steampowered.com/curator/45742107/ 欢迎加入三真万法鉴赏组: https://steamcommunity.com/groups/szwf [/quote]
通关了,即时制+战旗有点意思( 立绘非常漂亮,配音也很不错,不过3D小人确实是有点难绷(
I really, really want to like this game. The controls just don't make any sense. I've tried it for 2 hours across Steam Deck, Xbox Controller, Mouse, and the game feels bad to play no matter what I use!
