Touhou 16 ~ Hidden Star in Four Seasons.
Player: kkcwkoh // Aya - Spring sub-shot
Winter in the Forest of Magic, spring in the Hakurei Shrine, and everlasting summer basked the outer lake of the Scarlet Devil Mansion. It's a clear sign that something is amiss with the unusual pockets of seasons occurring at this various spots around Gensokyo. Due to this circumstances, the protagonists set out to investigate this odd seasonal occurrence.
Touhou 16 - HSiF sports the usage of seasonal sub-weapons. Each seasonal sub-weapons provide different familiar options and special season bombs (C button) for your characters. The quirks of each seasons are as such:
Spring - Cost: All gauges. Clears all bullets in an area, area size scales with gauge spent. Brief invulnerability. Invulnerable time scales with gauges spent.
Summer - Cost: One gauge. Creates a static shield at your current position.
Fall - Cost: All gauges. Generates a shield that follows your character. Increases character speed. Duration scales with gauges spent. Not invulnerable even with the shield up.
Winter - Cost: All gauges. Creates a static shield and increases all damage output. Duration scales with gauges spent.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
While LoLK (trial) provides a ton of scary tricky micro-dodging maneuver, HSiF (trial) is the opposite of it with the overall trial being less stressful and relaxing. The music in the game is pretty neat, with stage 2 theme heavily reminding me of Grimoire of Marisa. The set of characters this time around are certainly an interesting bunch. Overall, I'm liking this installment a lot more than LoLK already. Looking forward to see more of this.
