The WhatsNext verdict
If you enjoy learning dense bullet patterns in unusual split-screen PvP, this delivers a distinctive duel built around sending pressure across screens, with a strong soundtrack. It is a poor fit if you want a conventional single-screen Touhou shooter or a consistently satisfying CPU challenge.

The setup
What you are walking into
This game is a split-screen vertical danmaku shooting game where two characters engage in the normal Touhou-esque gameplay, while unleashing attacks and character-specific spell cards onto the other player, similar to that of Phantasmagoria of Dim.Dream. When a player gets hit enough times to lose all their hit points, they are defeated. The game features a Story Mode, which pits the player against a series of nine opponents that get progressively harder, and a versus mode, which is a single match against either an AI opponent or a human opponent(or, two AI opponents). With the netplay patch, multiplayer is also possible through LAN or over the Internet.
