Strangely fun as you progress
As I started this game, I’ve found it to be lackluster. One of the few where I wasn’t awe’d at the start and instead played for the sheer idea that I could collect characters from a franchise sitting pretty at #1 of my favorites… That was, until you start getting more friends, level up, and realize it actually requires a decent strategy to a degree, similar to how Pokemon isn’t so much as a “five presses, I win” game but you can still level up your friends to steamroll on sheer level for some cases. All in all, mediocre first impression but last past it and you get oddly addicted.
I admire how slow many of these ‘gathering’ actions seem to take, for example: how difficult it really is to get God Crystals… It feels like they’ve really promoted consistent playing as the most rewarding method, rather than dropping a lump sum in hopes that you get what you want. Except for getting scrolls, tiles, and books. Sure they are definitely aided by the dailies… But are so darn slow that it peeves me. But that’s just the nature of this style of game for a grind and honestly shouldn’t really be changed.

It’s fun but it’s too gatcha and not that much Touhou related
Other than the characters.. the story is pretty meh, with all the money they can’t even put character animations , they are just still pics and out random faces and that’s it… they could at least move the hands or what not (although the music selection is amazing). Pity doesn’t transfer from banners… you need 50 crystals and 15k coins to do 10 pulls.. you need 150 to “exchange it” for pity, and since they limit your coin amount (although practice many other games do, getting them isn’t as hard). At lv 56 my limit is 39k, so doing 20 pulls take me to almost 0 and there is no way, as a F2P you get to 40 Chances are, you aren’t going to get a new banner character unless you are extremely lucky… and then won’t be able to limit break them as getting a divine paper isss sooo hard Combat is like many gatcha.. so I play it on the tablet while doing something else. Should you play it? Sure, it’s a good time waster.. should you expect an amazing game or invest on it? Personally I would say no, game does have a lot of limitations for F2P players, and IMO, if a game neglects F2P, they don’t deserve anyone to be dolphin/whale

I really like this game
I love this game so much, coming from a touhou fan this is really a treat to play and I'd like to thank the developers for what they're putting out. If you're a fan of touhou at all, you'll love the writing and stories, it's like reading a well written fan work (because it basically is one). The gacha is amazing because it's not predatory at all, you can easily save up enough crystals to get your favorite touhou when it comes out (and the rates are nice). The gameplay is simple but fun to mess around with, most levels are a breeze until you get to scarlet tower or lunatic mode, so you can experience story with a basic team. All the characters are voiced for combat and menu screens. The only thing you really need to pay for is costumes (which are well priced if you want to support the game). Also, they use different circle's music for the game's soundtrack so it's fun and varied.
Overall, 9/10, gameplay is simple but I love the genuinely fun story and characters, very good translation/localization. Give it a try and support the devs!

What Happened?
I have to say this is a really nice game the music is nice the combat is fun and I like the game feels relaxing. But I do have a couple of complaints the experience gain is decent but I don’t know why you don’t have the option to level up friends instantly like in most Gacha games and if you want players to get god crystals for summons and costumes please make them easier to get and I don’t mean to nitpick about the summons but please raise the summon rates for friends because I’ve been doing many summons and I haven’t got a new friend in a while but regardless this is still a good game and I know the global version came out not too long ago so I can’t say much but if anyone can fix these please let me know thanks. 😉

Hardly a Touhou game. Shameless cashgrab.
This game turns everything that makes Touhou Touhou, into a shameless gacha cashgrab. Just another boring, same-y gacha trading card RPG Asia seems to love. Another butchering of a beloved series into a mess that barely resembles what the it once was. Whoever is rating this game high obviously has no connection to Touhou or have played any of the original games. These are the self-proclaimed “fans” that have never played a game and only listen to the music and look at fanart. Like another reviewer said, THIS game is one of the reasons us fans need to gatekeep and protect this series from mainstream contamination. If you want to play good Touhou mobile games, check out Touhou Dungeon Dive, Thousand Night Anamnesis, or any of the fanmade games.
Also, how much money is ZUN/Team Shanghai Alice even seeing from this game? I really want to know. How much is he being paid for this wonderful series and characters that he’s crafted all himself for 25 years?? And how much are the CEOs of Good Smile raking in from this?

No “Friends” guaranteed
I’ve had this game for quite awhile, and I’ve spent tons of time working on getting the “friends” i want. Sadly, the acquisition rate of the friends is pathetically low, even with their “pick up” gacha. I’m not giving up, because i want two specific friends, but their rates are worthless.
Cirno isn’t the strongest.
Disappointing nonetheless but still good game
Pull Costs
I have always enjoyed Touhou hence why I’m playing this. But I have to say, pull costs are insane. 50 with a money costs is overkill and 600?!? For the guaranteed friend? These should be 25 and 300 respectively. If you want to reduce how much you give to limit the overall amount of pulls a purchase package gives, fine, be stingy. But this is just ludicrous. Especially noting pity rates are unreachable unless you’re a whale.

Good game but…
First off I do love this game. It has a great story and is fun to play. But the biggest negative for me is it’s lousy gacha rates for characters. You save up your seal crystals for a new character but then you don’t even pull a character after almost a hundred pulls and that still isn’t even a enough to exchange for it as you need to pull 150 times to exchange. It would be different if it did not cost so much to pull. Azur lane costs only 20 cubes for a 10 pull, Touhou costs 50. If you save up a 100, you get over double the pulls in Azur lane compared to only 2 ten pulls in Touhou. Even if the drop rates are low, which they are in both, you have a better chance of getting what you want just because you have more chances of pulling. I wouldn’t mind spending money but when that does not even guarantee you getting the character you want, except after spending way more than I’m willing, I think I might move on to something else.
