Not my torrent, thank the kind people from [Moe]. They also released a bunch of audio CDs from Reitaisai 4.

So this means the full version isn't out yet?

No, expected release of the full version is sometime this summer.

Kind of disappointed with it. Only returning characters so far are Reimu and Marisa, and the stage 3 boss was the only interesting new character. Gameplay is more or less the same, with a new bomb system. In better news, a new Touhou fighting game was announced as well. No demo for it yet, but at least one new character (Aya) has been confirmed. I imagine Reisen is an auto-include as well.

this is disappointing why? did you honestly think ZUN wouldn't put them in the game?

I like the weapon selection system, it kind of makes up for the fact that there are only 2 selectable characters. I miss the Graze counter though. Apparently, no other counters (like the Time counter in Imperishable Night) are available as well. But we'll just have to wait for the full version to be released.

o_o

on the same note somewhat, does anyone know where to get the rest of these games? :3

The graphics and gameplay are nice, but the music is pretty disappointing compared to the previous games.

awesome. thanks man :D

This isn't the final release, so graphics, music, lack of counters, etc. might change.

Badass so far though. Lack of bizarre Time Counter-style counters and a more Scarlet Devil feel is definitely a good thing.

There is a 'counter', the faith points (green thingies), and it works as a direct multiplier to the amount of points you get from the actual point items.
Not getting any items/shooting stuff makes your faith decrease (be mindful of the bar in the bottom left), and dying drops the faith point amount by a pretty huge chunk.

Don't die if you want to highscore.


Also, new bombing system is actually useful in that it encourages you to use them when appropriate.

I thought the music was pretty neat for most of the part, especially stage 3, and especially its boss theme.
Anyway, the general induced mood by it fits with the thematic concept of 'fall' quite nicely.

The new bombs are pretty underwhelming, even if the counter system is something of an improvement. I miss Master Spark.

Other than that I don't really have any complaints. Really like the stage 2 music.

Gotta agree there.

Laser Marisa without master spark feels kinda empty.
Maybe the bombs will look different per character & mode in the full release... and maybe graze points back in ?</wishful thinking> -_-;
>> Anonymous
since its a demo, maybe creator will get a response and put unique bomb effects back. and hopefully, additional characters.....

ZUN said this episode goes back to basics. This game definitely won't be as complex as the previous episodes.

"Going back to basics" in this case referred specifically to there only being Reimu and Marisa as playable characters, IIRC.

But yes. I'm really liking this streamlining so far, except for the amount of playable characters, really. Rather 3 characters with 2 modes each than two characters with 3 modes each, IMO.

I get an error and it says they can't find d3dx9_31.dll. wtf? Any idea?

Upgrade your directx to the newest version, should fix the problem.
>> Anonymous

I had that problem too, running Win 2K. I tried doing a directX update and that didn't help. However, there is an easy solution:
1) go do dll-files.com and search for the missing file.
2) download it and put it in your game folder.
3) PLAY!

Microsoft does smaller patches to DirectX not applied with a normal DirectX update. Look on their site, I'm too lazy to dig the link up.

why did the guy's drawing get remarkably shitty?
>> Quote !Curly7Wya.
>>172588
you can't say ZUN's artwork was ever that good, but that's not the point of the games.
>> Murray
>>172589
I wouldn't say that. The drawings in Perfect Cherry Blossom and Imperishable Night were quite ok.

His art quality does seem to have gotten worse since IN. You'd think he'd get someone else to help him on that end by now. Whoever did the character portraits for IAMP for example.
