Touhou 东方雪莲华 ~ Abyss Soul Lotus - Lunatic 1cc + TLB (No-Miss)
A clear of Lunatic without dying and getting all the secret spellcards.
Another ludicrously high-quality Chinese Touhou fangame just dropped.
China is absolutely cracked when it comes to these fangames.
东方雪莲华, no relation to the celebrity Vtuber of the same name, was made by the same team that developed Shining Shooting Star. It took approximately 7 years for them to make the game, with the first demo releasing in 2018.
This is also one of the first fangames made in Unity afaik, which means you can do things like run the game at 120 FPS and get buttery smooth controls, because game logic isn't tied to framerate like stupid engines.
System and mechanics:
en.touhouwiki.net/wiki/Abyss_...
Game is quite good, patterns are fun to dodge and stage design has a good flow. I especially like the part in stage 4 where it makes you go all around the screen.
The system also feels pretty thought-out and is fun to engage with. Chaining juicy cancels together is very satisfying. Planning around the chain timer and the multiplier bonus you get from character switching also adds a lot of depth to the routing.
Probably what sets this game apart the most is the timer.
You have a 24 minute timer to beat the game. However this will run out long before the game actually ends. And when the timer runs out you will be unable to get any more meter, essentially making you walking dead. You have to collect fragments to slow down the timer, while avoiding getting hit and dying as that takes off a big chunk of your time.
The game doesn't have a traditional bomb system, instead you fill up a meter by collecting fragments you get from bullet cancels.
This has three layers and getting hit eats one of these layers. Which means you can get hit quite a lot in this game and not die, so long as you don't get hit too many times in a row.
This system makes the game quite forgiving while still being challenging for score as you're constantly consuming meter for that.
You're far more likely to run out of time before running out of lives though, which is interesting. You basically need to do some scoring to actually survive.
There is also a True Last Boss, sorta.
If you beat stage 3 with 18 or more minutes remaining on the clock, you enter a sort of Ura route where all the bosses will have an extra spell at the end of their fights.
These spells are pretty wild and unique, you definitely need to practice some of these if you want to stand a chance against them. The stage 4 lanterns literally steal your lives and you can instantly game over there if too many lock on to you at once. The stage 6 spell also drains your meter and it's very easy to lose the no-miss there.
The biggest complaint you can probably give the game is that the practice options are a bit lacking compared to what is generally accepted nowadays.
At least it doesn't have a useless spell practice mode where the pattern instantly resets when you get hit like all the other ones.
Shoutouts to Eradrazil for gifting me the game. Thank you!

Final Boss is what Cirno wants to become or rather what she thinks she is
Stage 5 boss was so imaginative, impressed
Freezing effect in the final spell is just *chefs kiss*
幕華祭もそうだけどあちら側の二次創作シューティングはクオリティ高いなあ
I'm really digging this game, currently working on the extra stage clear. Shouldn't take to long to get the clear. Good run Dude
So, I'm not gonna watch cause I wanna play it myself, but I wanna thank you for letting me know it exists. I ADORED Shining Shooting Star and to see they've got another banger of a game out, featuring my all-time favorite character as playable? I have the deepest, most burning need. I need to go download it right this second.
> Game has a *Shield System* gained by bullet cancelling. 3 layers, can be recharged quickly if you constantly do the cancels. Well.. if you play on Lunatic. Also, there is an Ura Route? Some of these Chinese Devs really know their CAVE stuff (maybe thx to DDP2: Bee Storm xD) ...oh, and its Made in Unity? No wonder the bullets are rather *dynamic* Definitely need more P.S. Also, it seems that their games kinda implement a bit of Rhytmic pacing? Mobs spawns, shoots and sometimes left on beat. Oh, Rhythm players gonna have some natural affinity playing this xD
The 5th and 6th stages have MapleStory vibes somehow, but stage 6 boss is definitely cosmic Cirno.
33:36, holy cow! That's Larsa's TLB final attack in Mushihemesama Futari!

Not really, because it isn’t a clockwise and counterclockwise wave overlapping, just purely counterclockwise.

Miko and Byakuren? Wtf (No offense, this game is really good)
tfw i didn't get the scoring system at all until i watched this, wondering why i never got any lives, and why even hard modo is kicking my ass, never mind lunatic lmao "why does pressing the bomb key drain my entire meter? that seems really counterproductive when i can just dodge and abuse the 3 lives for the price of 1" also fun fact: you can fast-forward dialogue by holding left control in this, because this fangame is good and understands that players don't like having their time wasted :p

More Touhou videoss from Jaimers!
11min with LSCs on OMG
I'm not entirely sure, but I think you might be misunderstanding how a mechanic works. When you release a 3-level border and a timer appears above your character you can press the release button again to do a bullet cancel, no need to wait until you can release again or the timer runs out.

Yeah but doing that makes you not get gold fragments and it also breaks your chain. Which is worse for maximizing fragments and time from what I understand.

@@JaimersSTG Border timer stalled to prevent cancels in spells. But for every boss's final spell, there's a window between clearing the spell and when "SPELL CARD BONUS" pops up. Maybe you are right. I have reported this to the devs but it might not be fixed (this is a minor glitch that doesn't affect survival after all).
I didn't watch but DAMN YUKARI IN THAT THUMBNAIL IS HOT AF LOL /≈D≈\ /=W=\
idea mía o hay un bajón de calidad en el ost el anterior se oía mejor :(
Post it in the ffz server
Oh my god! The final boss has the power of lowering the frame rate! Actually, doesn't that make the game easier?
When no hit??
Why do you torture yourself like this?
