That the game is garbage riding on the coattails of the Touhou branding and characters.
No one would have played this shit if it had been entirely the creator's own original work, because there's nothing worth a damn there besides the Touhou sludge.

>>3982452
I admit touhou is trash, the fanbase is retarded and their "bullet hells" are extremely dull compared to Cave or any actual shmup dev. that being said this dungeon crawler jrpg is pretty good, gets to the point fast and isn't bloated with trash dialogue and menuing like most jrpgs these days. It's refreshing, fun fast combat and the dungeons are decently made.
A rare touhou that isn't total trash or gayshite

Ironically I would play an indie SMT 2 tribute game but because this is Touhou and I don't know shit about it I haven't

It actually has bullet hell parts, very good resource management and dungeon crawling

"Artificial Dream in Arcadia"

a SMT2 tribute with mechanics lifted from SMT5, namely the skill transfers via essence stuff

1. If you can't find value in 2hu that's just your opinion, your statement is wrong without any actual arguments
2. The Game mentioned (2hu artificial dream) just apes old SMT aesthetic and touhou girls without actually meshing them well together. That's my primary complain.
3. No it's not refreshing. It feels like a bad taste appropriation

I got my 79-cents worth. Might come back to it at some point. Don't care about fake jap cartoon girls; I would like it better if this was a badass D&D-type game, but I take what I can get? How does it compare with that Labyrinth of Touhou RPG or whatever it's called?

Touhou danmakus just apes actual bullet hells with anime girl aesthetics without meshing them together well, level design, patterns and mechanics are vapid

You are comparing Etrain Odyssey with SMT

>>3982858
Ok go for it smart ass

>>3982785
I can't find value in raw sewage.
I'm sorry that you can.
Enjoy wallowing in your touhou/anime sty, I suppose.

it's just a fun SMT2 clone anon. It's a pretty solid game. It's clear that the guy who made it is a pretty huge fan of both Touhou and SMT, and for the dollar that you spend on it it's 1000% worth the price
I played it knowing essentially only the bare bones of touhou and had a lot of fun with it

If you are a diehard shmup purist 2hu is not going to appeal to you since your expectation is not what it is set to achieve
It's ZUN trying to create some kind of fantasy world that makes use of shmup elements (magical spell cards and bombs)

Enjoy that meaningless sense of superiority.

How does one play an SMT game without aqiu384.github.io fusion data

>>3983037
I am a very very pure shmup purist. It is my main genre and I am good at them (pretty good), I have some western world records under my belt.

Like that's gonna matter to whether your opinion matters or not. Touhou is not that kind of game..

I hate russians so fucking much

>>3983037
touhou is first and foremost a way for zun to share his music. the gameplay has always been secondary and 'plot' is barely tacked on only for the sake of giving the stages some life.

>>3982455
the team ladybug game is competent but that is to be assumed
blade chimera is fucking awesome btw
definitely worth the five seconds it takes to pirate

The gameplay and dungeons are all solid, but having a likable cast, setting, and good character designs are an important part of making a complete experience and attracting attention to it
I don't hold it against any dev for using an existing setting to that end, because there's basically no chance that the majority of them could've made something as good if they'd tried

>>3983961
i'm going through Blade Chimera now, very smooth gameplay fun combat with some neat ideas, liking it a lot, I just wish it was a little harder, lafter that I"m gonna do Deedlit
