Don't let the name fool you, this game isn't homophobic!

This game takes inspiration from Symphony of the Night with its 2d artstyle and environment, but manages to do its own thing entirely. Its combat mainly uses knife throwing as attacks and special attacks costing MP. The thing that REALLY makes this game though is its time mechanic.

This game lets you pause time and lets you take advantage of combat and platforming. This makes Luna Nights so special, because what makes a decent challenge turns into so many different creative ways you can take out enemies and bosses. You can even skip parts of the level by using later abilities which is awesome and makes for an engaging game. The music in this game is also really damn good. If any Touhou game has music like this, then i'll definitely check out the other games.

Touhou Luna Nights is a spectacular experience that I can already tell is gonna be repayable for me, It offers genuine challenge, and besides a few times running back to other areas and the occasional spike in difficulty, and a weakish story, its something a lot of fans of MetroidVanias are gonna really love, even for people that don't play Touhou games.



Plus you play as maid
