I am a huge fan of this game, actually. Which was a bit of a surprise considering I'm not the biggest fan of the other two split-screen style touhou games. Now that the initial excitement of a brand new Touhou game coming into existence has worn off, I can't say it's my favorite. But it's definitely up there!
I really enjoy how this game feels to play, and it has a very fun roster of characters. The dialogue is really good too, and the stories are very well connected by everyone's different perspectives on what's going on. Easily some of the best writing in a touhou game as a whole.
I will say, not all characters are created equal. Some story modes are much, much easier than others. Some are also much, much harder [Nazrin. I'm talking about Nazrin holy shit Nazrin's Yachie fight is actually inhumane.]
Playing with people is also very lovely, although if you're not playing in person I've personally been unable to actually get the game to be in a playable state with online matchmaking. Hopefully there'll be either a fanmade or official fix for this in the future, though. As there is for PoFV irrc.
Also it's good to keep in mind that there are. Some weird bugs in this game in particular. I've passingly heard about bugs in other touhou games but this is the only game where I've actually experienced any [or noted that I was experiencing them, at the very least.]
All-in-all, easily one of my favorite Touhou games. It's super fun, and if you're able to, a great way to spend some time with friends as well! There are a few downsides, but for the most part are easily overlooked.
