This was the first Touhou I played, so there's still a bit of sentimentality there. After playing most of the series, this one kinda gets lost in the middle. It's just more Touhou.
Ten Desires is unremarkable aside from its new character designs. It's easy, though I still think Imperishable Night is easier overall because you get so many more resources that you can just bomb half the game, but TD has by far the easiest bullet patterns in the series. The stages are barren and uninteresting compared to the frantic stages of 12 (thanks to the UFO mechanic). The music is low-key compared to most other Touhou games, but that's not necessarily a bad thing. The title screen and Stage 5 themes are standouts. Also... why did it take so long to put Spell Practice back... only to be removed again in 14-16.
Pretty good game, but a step back from 12 and 11.

We asked 50 "experts on problems" what Mononobe no Futo's problem was. Nobody could figure it out! Perhaps she isn't even born over 1400 years ago at all and just talks like a jackass because she's roleplaying.
