I've barely played touhou but really looking forward to this game. S
tages are fun for this kind of game, presentation is just superb and bosses are fast-paced never feeling tedious.
First time clearing the trial on highest difficulty, serial bomb spammer gameplay. Missing the final spellcard on Miko feels bad..
Ichirin seems easy to play after the update to the demo, I got the (nerfed) Lunatic clear almost immediately.

![Like Dreamer [Chaos+]: Speedrun mode 32:18 Yuri-AABD (12.5B)
God-tier mode with this shot type. Im still slow as hell, you can rush through the stages much faster. Harder to play but simultaneously shorter than All Trial+ so thats all great. Like Dreamer [Chaos+]: Speedrun mode 32:18 Yuri-AABD (12.5B)](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/splk6S62tLA/mqdefault.jpg)

![DEVIL BLADE REBOOT [Inferno]: 23.9M ALL clear (Shigatake 2024)
Not happy with the score but its a clear. Those deaths in silly sections almost cost 3 million points by themselves..
Like I mentioned in an earlier video the over-the-top presentation & bosses reminds me of some combination of Kamui + GalaX + Strania.

![Emerald Blue [Default, Speed mode]: Stage 1 52 million (2025 Xtrasoft)
I think this would go up to 60 million if I didnt damage the boss with the bombs. Not sure what the function is of the items given by hitting things with a bomb.
Definitely a hard to master score system but might be too super heavy memorization for me; you want to hit enemies as much as possible with the Aura of your focus shot (actually the aura part hits even when youre not shooting which is galaxy brain and can be used to delay killing things, like the 1st midboss) which is probably to their sides just as they spawn in. On the bosses this means some very risky point blanking and using bombs to gain i-frames from what I understand.
