Haven't beaten Remilia yet since the update wasn't out but it was super good and reminded me well of Castlevania-like fangames I've played so that's something.
My Old Steam review in beta:
All Right, I have not played Touhou,I have not really played Castlevania(just the nes one a few times),and I've BARELY played Metroid or even know what happens in It even though i should BUT This all changed because of this upcoming game and it's demo.
I had been eyeing on this game for a while looking from the pack that Angels Of Death is in and I was intrigued by it because o knews what Touhou was and had a maid that can stop time like a certain yellow vampire we all know and love :^) and to see that we're gonna get a game that has a time stop mechanic and is going to be a Metroidvania? We'll sign me up OH and look it's on sale, would you look at that hmmmm...Honestly, I'm glad i didnt buy it during that time because i want the full price to go toward toward the Devs to make a great game i can play anyday.It's already gor overwhelming praise just from it's Early Build and has great hour of play time already. This is promising and I hope and expect, great and more
PS- I wrote this a while ago but couldnt post it cus wifi crashed and luckily copied it so I could post It, I am hype for this thing lol

Short but extremely fufilling. Really great mechanics, awesome boss fights and level design that pushes the fun mechanics, all while looking and sounding great.
As said, it's really short (did it in like 7 hours, people better than me can cut it down pretty easy), so that an burn people, but I highly recommend it.

This game is exactly as cool as it sounds. Metroidvania with timestop mechanics and puzzles built around them. Highly recommend to any genre or Touhou fan; it's not terribly long, but it's also not terribly expensive.
A combination of bullet-hell and metroidvania, TouHou Luna Nights is a fast-paced thrill ride with bangin tunes and challenging bossfights, all wrapped up into a nice, concise 5-6 hours of total playtime.
Whereas I'm not very keen on pixel-art indie titles (especially those with an anime theme), this one broke the mold by having a really slick and fluid animation style that made the game fun to look at.
The story wasn't amazing by any stretch, but it was at least intriguing, and the dialogue was quite charming. The focus obviously lies on the gameplay, which was handled very well.
Like a classic metroivania, you start off with little abilities aside from basic movement, a jump, and your basic attack (throwing daggers). As you explore and progress throughout the map, you find more abilites that allow you to progress even further and become more powerful.
Combat is tight and precise, and the integration of time stop/slow mechanics in combination with both the combat and the platforming made overcoming obstacles really rewarding. Regaining MP, HP, and Time was fun too as it involved needing to "graze" incoming attacks (narrowly dodge).
Some gripes include the inability to look up/down, making some platforming challenges a bit of a gamble if you weren't already familiar with them. This game also includes enemies who can move and attack through walls, which is a pet peeve of mine, especially when they aren't ghosts or something that makes sense, and they just don't have hitboxes that collide with walls. In my opinion, those kinds of enemies are just artificial difficulty and lazy enemy design. Additionally, I felt the difficulty of some rooms was cheap and lazy as well, being packed with enemies who target you directly alongside little fireballs that can dodge your attacks, so that by the time you get through a certain room, it feels like luck more than skill.
All of this considered, this would've been a 3-star were it not for the awesome bossfights. Those weren't lazy at all, and were super fun to fight, especially once you got into the rhythm.
Overall, a fun little game that you can probably beat in a weekend if you're a seasoned gamer with experience in either bullet-hell or metroidvanias, or just titles that are known to be difficult. This game would be hard to get into for a newcomer, as the entry bar is pretty high in terms of difficulty.
I recommend.

weakass girls
jogasso, pena que é muito curto em comparação a outros metroidvanias.
fun
idk it was okay
Short, sweet, fun, pretty, Meiling is there,
Very fun touhou metroidvania.
Se tinha alguma referência de JoJo no jogo ainda bem que eu não peguei.
JOGO FODA MANO
really fun game i love sakuya
Al fin, un spinoff de Touhou bueno.
Segunda vez que lo paso, primera vez que logro completar el Boss Rush en S Rank y obtener todos sus logros. Una joya.
It's all right. While it represents a step up in ambition for Ladybug, it's still very linear and somewhat lacking in horizontal progression; the game doesn't really feel expansive in a way that the greats of the genre do. If nothing else, the graphics are gorgeous.
sometimes the best thing a metroidvania can do is have cool mechanics and just be concise
very easy the hundred knives item should have been nerfed
Gosto muito das duas coisas principais desse jogo, Touhou e Metroidvania, a mecânica de parar o tempo, desacelerar e descer a faca em todos, é uma experiencia divertida
Un muy buen metroidvania, las mecanicas de control del tiempo lo hacen atractivo y el control del personaje se hace gratificante con el snail time junto al stop time. La historia es inexistente pero no la necesitas para disfrutar el juego aunque es lo que mas eché en falta. Muy corto, lo justo para que puedas hacerte a todas las mecanicas, lo cual en mi opinión es otro de sus aciertos, ya que justo al final sentí que se estaba quedado seco el juego. Muy recomendado para jugartelo cuando te entre el mono de un metroidvania.
Top-notch controls, straight schmooving every step of the way.
Incredibly polished Metroidvania with amazing pixel art and pretty fun mechanics, boss fights are the highlight.
Pretty solid metroidvania, but feels more like SoTN than Super Metroid in that regard (finally), once you beat the main story, it gets pretty boring to get 100% outside of the boss rush, and it's as fun as a bullet hell scroller can get. And it's pretty short too.
A must-play for Metroidvania fans or even for someone looking to try the genre.
It borrows very heavily from Symphony of the Night (down to the walk cycle of the player character), but it does a great job standing out with the sheer creativity of Sakuya's time powers in gameplay as well as the INCREDIBLE boss fights.
Only reason it isn't a 10/10 is the game takes a bit too long to get into its own element, but when it does, its stellar.

i have no idea what is Touhou but funny time stop maid goes BRRR
:)
lo he intentadopero metroidvania
I'll get to finishing this
An absolute gem of a metroidvania: stunning to look at, mechanically rich and with some of the best boss fights in the genre; praise be to Team Ladybug and ZUN.
rock solid in all of its mechanics, but it's a bit too short for me. still amazing work.
