To be honest I completely adore this fangame. I was trying to think of reasons to maybe only give it 4.5 stars (cause I struggle giving things number ratings, esp cause I view most experiences as positive) but for me it really did everything right. I love the story, the areas chosen from gensokyo are really cool and all the gimmicks fit in pretty well, the skill and affinity transfers lead the customization of the game to be extremely versatile, the ost RULES, and just so much more. I love how easy this game is as an entry point to Touhou if you've played a lot of DRPGS or specifically classic SFC SMT but still keeping the difficulty relatively high even with a bunch of QoL. I personally only struggled hard enough to game over a few times, but some bosses I didn't even die to ended up being just as hard if not harder as some can be real battles of attrition.

Overall, I just think this game is a wonderful love letter while standing entirely on it's own even if you wanted to treat it as a completely standalone piece detatched from Touhou and all inspirations. Check it out if you have any interest at all!
