All three playable characters Reimu, Marisa, and Cirno have heavy hitting spell cards, bullet-absorbing barriers, and a powerful body slam. Azure Reflections puts a spin on the traditional Touhou vertical shooter, boasting intense shoot’em up action from a horizontal perspective."

What if...
Embodiment of Scarlet Devil...
But...
Horizontal?
OMG TOUHOU FANS KNOW HOW TO MAKE GOOD GAMES :D

I noticed that this is just the Embodiment of Scarlet Devil again, but horizontal.

However, I think this game is just okay.

This game is ugly as fuck and I don't want to touch it. It's also just not that fun.

This is a pretty fun and enjoyable horizontal shmup. I didn't find it as brutal as the mainline Touhou games, but it will still offer a good challenge for less hardcore shmup fans like myself.

The Barrier, Death Bomb, and Danmaku Rush mechanics are what shine most here, giving you some seriously powerful offensive and defensive options. If you've played a few of the mainline entries, you'll find plenty of fun and recognizable characters sprinkled in with the EoSD cast.

The only "negatives" to this game I can really think of is that I wish the customization items weren't quite so expensive

I really enjoyed the 5 hours or so I spent with this game, even if I never did get that Normal 1CC, but I can definitely see myself coming back to it again sometime.
