I like it I like the Story to :333💞

Serviceable Ys-like game, wish it was just a bit longer and harder but overall I'd definitely recommend it on a sale.

Fun little (very) low-budget Ys clone. Good equipment progression, surprisingly good moveset and a decent soundtrack as well as the usual Touhou "something is happening but it's not that important really" light plot. Only really let down by a lack of challenge for most of the game (only one boss really made me have to think about playing like a Ys game) and some samey maps. The "look at all these weird effects we can do now" blur and lighting effects are a bit weird too, occasionally getting in the way.

finally beat the game so im updating my review. stars do not change because the game is still consistent. i finally actually bought the game so that i could use bullet hell mode cause that wasnt in my pirated version. the game is still easy as shit, but when you play as remilia you really start to feel it. i like the idea behind the former hell level, but in execution it was kinda weak. overall decent enough ys clone, but the labyrinth made me want to strangle someone, so i didnt beat it.

Repetetive gameplay but i enjoyed it. A short but interesting story. You can pick it up and finish it in a day.

Honestly the first touhou fangame by Ankabe Spa (Youyou Kengeki Musou or "datyoumu game" as it's known in the west for some reason) is much better than this.
