Re: Keine's Class on the Official [Touhou Discussion] Thread

Btw, in case no one visits Maidens of the Kaleidoscope, we're having an IaMP tounament. Sadly, registrations are closed, but once this is done, we're most likely going to have another tournament, but the next is most likely a SWR tournament.

More info on it here:

Anyways, the demo is out, and I managed to obtain it.

I'll wait a day to see if ZUN will post a link to download tomorrow (or today, whatever comes first =/) at his site, which is more than likely.

Re: Keine's Class on the Official [Touhou Discussion] Thread

And now triple post for my thoughts on the demo...

Music:
For the first few Windows Touhou games from TH6-9, the music was very memorable and nice the first time I played them. TH10 and TH11 had music that took a few playthroughs to actually remember the music, and to find out that they were just as awesome as TH6-9. TH12 falls within TH10 and TH11. Right now the songs are a little hard to remember, but the stage 1 boss theme sounds really good compared to the previous stage 1 boss themes. The stage levels sounds a lot better than SA's stage levels at least.

Characters/Artwork:
Let me tell you, the previous games ZUN was known for pretty bad artwork, most noticeably with TH10 Reimu (Zombie Reimu). But this game it seems that his artwork GREATLY IMPROVED. Reimu looks like Reimu, Marisa looks like Marisa with a wand now (lolwut?), and Sanae looks like a good girl. The bosses also have better artwork. Nazrin's (Stage 1 boss) artwork is actually fappable too.

Gameplay:
Now this game has many twists compared to the previous games. First off, separate bombs are now back. Every character has their bomb for their shot-type, therefore Marisa DOES have her Master Spark back (hooray!). Now, SA's shot-types weren't really the best. None of them were really. UFO has shot-types that are actually useful, and not one of them are as bad as SA. Except for ReimuB's shot-type, which is almost like ReimuB's SA shot-type, but better, but not the homing type like in PCB or IN.

UFO has the new "UFO system" which is actually VERY USEFUL if used correctly. Some enemies drop UFO looking items in different colours, but most of them change their colours after a couple of seconds. If you pick up 3 of the same colours, a UFO will appear. It will collect all of the items on-screen, and use it to drop whatever it's supposed to drop, and they are really easy to destroy. UFO's comes in 3 colours; red, blue, and green. Red UFO's drops large life stars that'll fill up 2/5 of your next life. Blue drops bombs, and green drops points.

The thing with this is that it makes it A LOT easier to 1CC the game it seems, since there are A LOT of UFOs throughout the first 3 stages.

Now for the bullet patterns and levels. The levels itself aren't really the best, mostly being somewhat repetitive at some points. The first two bosses have nice bullet patterns that are actually FUN. But the third stage boss, holy crap that was a shocker. She summons (Unzan who is an enlightened spirit made of clouds, and yes it's a GUY), and he literally uses his fists as danmaku, which leaves behind a few bullets. Not only that, but he also shoots lasers out of his eyes. This boss is actually bad-ass and made of win IMO.

--------------------------

Normally I would give it a rating, but considering it being a demo, I'll wait for the full version to come out actually rate the entire game itself.

Sounds pretty bad-ass. I can look forward to this it seems. =) Master Spark comes back for Marisa I guess <3

And then I'll have a touhou game on my comp again, since for now I don't have the others because of my reformat.

Re: Keine's Class on the Official [Touhou Discussion] Thread

Oh hey Kilga I completely forgot about this thread >.<

Yeah, UFO's coming out at the next comiket (C76) so be on the lookout.

Also, Tasofro released an image in at their site. Many speculate that it could either be a SWR expansion, or an entirely new game.

http://www.tasofro.net/

All we know is that it's going to be released by C76. So who knows what it could be =/.

Re: Keine's Class on the Official [Touhou Discussion] Thread

new game that's impossible :O! looks like team battles
who ever made patchcon should make an update
also when is C76?

[ddr_f4n]

Re: Keine's Class on the Official [Touhou Discussion] Thread

Oh thanks for reminding me about this again.

About the game, it's confirmed as an expansion of SWR. It's number 12.3. It will feature 5 new character, 3 which are known atm, and the other two being completely original and new characters.

The 3 known characters are Sanae (Sucking ZUN's dick now), Cirno, and Meiling.

It doesn't appear to be a team battle game, more like Sanae can summon Suwako and Kanako to fight by her side.

Also, UFO announced to be released on August 15th if I haven't mentioned that before.

But this is all old news though.

Also, it is now canon that Sanae watches mecha anime XD.

Re: Keine's Class on the Official [Touhou Discussion] Thread

UFO's been released. Hisotensoku's been released. Been having lots of fun with both. Surprised ddr_fan hasn't updated this since then. Someone go bug 'em. ;3

Re: Keine's Class on the Official [Touhou Discussion] Thread

Why? I pretty much forgot about this website in general. Also, I've been having quite a few problems with my laptop(s) in general, so yeah.

But I did manage to play them both. A lot of things happened other than the releases.

So yada yada UFO released 4 new characters; Captain Minamitsu Murasa, Shou Toramaru, Byakuren Hiziri, and Nue Houjuu. I'll review this game later. Probably by next monday or so.

Then there's Touhou 12.3, aka Unthinkable Natural Law (unofficial English name) or UNL. Two other characters revealed whom are Utsuho (****ing yes) and Suwako (lolwut?). Again, I'll review this later as well.

Now, something else we missed was the SWR ENGLISH PATCH. You can get it here.

Also, new UFO colorblind patch for those having trouble telling the difference between the different colored UFO's. You can get that here.
