### 1/5 — It doesn’t have feet

*2026-08-19, version 1.55.0*

I wanna see feet also give me 6000 seal crystals and all characters level 100 free🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬😡😡😡😡😡🥵🥵🥵🥵

### 1/5 — devs ran out of ideas

*2026-08-12, version 1.54.0*

you can’t tell me they didn’t plagiarize Osana Reimu and KKHTA for a lot of the alternates

### 1/5 — Please more Nue alts >:(

*2026-06-10, version 1.53.0*

Where is the justice for Nue man all I see is the pathetic koishi 🫩

### 3/5 — It was fun, but...

*2026-06-10, version 1.53.0*

While I have enjoyed playing this game for a few years, the experience was ruined by constant connection loss, which often comes out of nowhere. In addition, the main story seemed to be on the back burner for so long that I ended up losing interest.

### 1/5 — Lost account

*2026-06-09*

I would like to play it again with all my Touhou characters I no longer know my account unless the developers have deleted it

### 1/5 — This game sucks

*2026-06-07, version 1.52.0*

Okay here’s why. First off all the odds in the gacha are so buns you could pull 20 times and not get the character. Secondly the amount of fan service is insane  like A13 Seiga she did not have those in the gain touhou 13. It’s hard to grind in this game and limit breaking characters it’s hard to get papers doll like epic, divine, and jumbo. And the last thing the age rating like 4+ age is terrible with the amount of reveling outfits it’s just insane. Do better ZUN Im baffled.

### 5/5 — Create your own avatar?

*2026-05-12, version 1.52.0*

This game is so good! But do you think that the players could make their own avatar? I know it’s a lot to ask but it would be very cool! Please and thank you, ps you guys are awesome!

### 3/5 — A very good game but…

*2026-04-28, version 1.51.0*

I’ve already ran out of room for new characters. I need y’all to remove the limit so I can continue grinding for new characters. Please and thank you!

### 5/5 — (2026) Touhou Gambling game

*2026-04-23, version 1.51.0*

Only Touhou game that is popular, But with out the bullet hell system it seems different to the Touhou community. The songs are better remixes of Zuns Version. It Really has a lot of detail into the battle. And incase I forgot this was a Touhou remix.

### 1/5 — And people actually play this ?!

*2026-03-26, version 1.50.0*

I'm honestly floored that people are still willing to play a game that’s just another generic gacha clone. The player base is either full of creeps or clueless newbies who don't know any better. It's just a mountain of fanservice and gross stuff. I’d want to praise some of the art since it’s actually decent, but that just makes the whole situation even worse...
