Touhou 6, 7, and 11 (Trial)

ever hear of the game Touhou? the link gives plenty info but its basically a shooting game. which i suck at.

alright, i'm not exactly a fan of shooter type games in the first place but this games has really nice graphics, which is what attracted me first.it also doesn't eat too much of your disc space and seems to function well without lagging on the average computer.


alright. let's start with [TH06　東方紅魔郷　～ the Embodiment of Scarlet Devil.].

this is the loading screen:


there are a few modes to play in. easy, normal, hard and lunatic. although i suck, i still decided to play normal. this is what i got:

say what? only 24.65% completed? no kidding..

then i took the liberty to play in lunatic to see how good i was:

9.92%. great. just great.

i know i suck and i know it says lunatic. but i was heavily attacked!



but of course, the best part is how i die. i think being a newb in these category of games makes me vulnerable for this type of "sudden burst".

Ah~ the bitter wine of defeat~

alright. moving on, there is [TH07　東方妖々夢　～ Perfect Cherry Blossom.].

loading screen:


this one, i happen to be slightly better:

this is 18.42% in level two!! that means i actually managed to pass level one in normal! (OMFGROTFLMAOBBQWTF)

but when i tried lunatic:

5.89%. thats just sad.

here are two screen shots. the first is when i died once. the second is moments before i lost my last life:



then there is the trial version of [TH11　東方地霊殿　～ Subterranean Animism.]. the full version is already out but i have yet to acquire it. so its only the demo version for now:


i don't have in game screen shots of this but i managed to pass level 1 once. and in lunatic, i died within 10 seconds. twice. then i lost my last life within the next 30 seconds. =.=

so if you like shooter games and anime like art then touhou is definitely the game(s) you are looking for. so far the english patches are up to touhou 9, so there are no worries if you don't understand japanese!
