This is the fourth work in the incredible Gensokyo series.,But it's the easiest one to get started.。 The difficulty of the game is much easier than the previous game, especially TODR. But on the other hand, the gameplay aspect must be cut a little. But in terms of personal experience, the game is still worth playing, and it's a little unfinished, and I'm looking forward to what kind of surprises the DLC can bring us in the future. Okay, let's not talk nonsense, let's get down to business.
Relive old dreams
At the beginning of the story, our little red and white fight against an indescribable object, but it ends up losing miserably. However, when I woke up, I found that everything was just a dream. But as soon as I went out, I saw that the door of my house was blocked by a tree stump, which was a good thing that Bo Li San did stupidly. So Reimu brought Marisa, who came forward to wake up, and brought the three fools' nest together, but the mutation quietly came with the end of the incident. A large area of red mist appeared at the lakeside bungalow, and as a witch specializing in dealing with mutations, this should be rushed by herself. So carrying the pendant of Marisa, he hurriedly solved the mutation of the Red Devil Pavilion.
However, one after another, the Red Devil Pavilion stopped making trouble, but Bai Yulou began to make trouble, and the bamboo forest after Bai Yulou began to be unbearable. These compact mutations followed one after another, and Reimu sensed something in a trance. After exploring the forbidden place of the shrine, I learned that all this was a scene made by these former enemies and former friends in order to awaken her power, and what was hidden behind this was the real mutation. After a night of decadence, Reimu packs up and sets off again to face the real catastrophe head-on.
The overall story uses the once classic Red Devil Pavilion mutation, Spring Chapter, and Eternal Night Copy to guide, bringing a strong sense of intimacy to players who are familiar with the Touhou series, and when you first get started, you feel like you are in the original story, and solve these events in the form of dungeon exploration. Then the following turning point also points to the initial prologue, which is just right and not obtrusive. As for the final truth, it is better to sell it here, and it is better for interested partners to experience it in person.
Progress of the system
Personally, I have only played TODR with the best reputation, and here I only compare it with TODR. There's a certain amount of progress in the system.,There's also a regression.,Personally, I feel like I've made more progress.,It's just that the regression part isn't coordinated.。 Our protagonist will never return to the shrine to become level 1, and if he loses the battle, he won't lose everything, which is really sweet for newbies. As long as the player has the patience to brush the level, they can support enough health, and if the blood volume is enough, it is much easier to deal with the enemy.
And this work also has a link system.,In fact, Reimu solves some events.,Get the support of partners from it.。 It can be unlocked by accumulating LP points, so that your character can become more powerful in addition to the concave level. When the gap with the enemy's level is too large, there will be a damage penalty, which is also a common setting in many RPGs, and it is not a disadvantage.
The part of the system that regresses
Here I will only describe the part of the regression in my personal eyes, if you have any objections, you can leave a message to discuss. Weapons have no experience points, and the weapon experience point upgrade is canceled, which is equivalent to canceling the weapon advanced gameplay. In terms of crafting, you can only craft it, and you can create items directly from wood. There are too few maps, and there are only a dozen maps in the whole process, which is not enjoyable enough (there is a new side map after clearing the level). The available characters are only Reimu itself, and there is no protagonist to choose from. In fact, the above shortcomings can be supplemented by subsequent patches or DLC, which is not a regression in the strict sense, and there is still scalability.
Progressive art style
If you want to talk about the style of painting, there has really been a lot of progress. It's not that TODR is bad.,It's that TODR's painting style is relatively young.,To this work,The painting style tends to the current aesthetic.,But it's all good-looking.。 In addition to the inability to move the mouth, the performance of the standing painting in the game is completely in line with the modern aesthetics. Although there is no dynamic, the development still tries its best to use some skills to show the actions of the characters, and it is also attentive. There aren't many CGs in the game.,Clearing the main line basically unlocks most of the CG.,Some CG needs to be obtained by side lines.。
At last
The overall game experience is more good than bad, and it still feels very good, but for the old bird, it's really a little bit worse. However, the advancement of character enhancement, the linkage system and the intervention of level retention will attract new players to try this game, and it will feel better to try the previous work when you are familiar enough. A good game always needs new blood to join, and reducing the difficulty is undoubtedly a good way, and I personally feel that the development has made a good shift in difficulty.
I don't know if new content will be added.,At least the current version is already a good game.,It's worse than the previous game.,But it's still a lot better than other similar types.。 Fans of the Touhou series who like incredible labyrinths to explore are worth trying.
