Touhou 2 but with a boss health bar.
Yep, ZUN finally settled with the Shump gameplay and by that I just mean ripping Touhou 2 and just adding a nice coat of paint on top. It's a serviceable sequel for Touhou 2 even though it only brings the boss health bar to the table, though don't get me wrong this is a godsend as it was a pain to know when the bosses would die in Touhou 2 so at least I know how little my damage do to a boss because yeah they brought back the bullet sponge bosses and I sincerely hope this isn't a common thing in the franchise, I really don't want to fall asleep while fighting the final boss every time.
Otherwise same old, same old with the music being just ok and the art style being somewhat of an eyesore with intense background color hurting my eyes.
Should you play it? Not particularly but if you had to make a choice between 2 and 4, definitely go for 4.
