Our take on TouHou Makuka Sai ~ Fantastic Danmaku Festival Part II
The likely sticking point is the danmaku challenge: players who want a low-pressure shooter may bounce off once the dense, challenging patterns become the focus. The story setup does not change the game’s stated emphasis on shooting and challenge.
What is TouHou Makuka Sai ~ Fantastic Danmaku Festival Part II?
This danmaku shooting game is the second part of Touhou Makuka Sai.
Set in Gensokyo after spring arrives, an extraordinary blizzard brings unrest among the youkai. Miko, a forest witch, and a wind priestess set out to investigate, while Youmu’s trip to the Human Village is disrupted by the storm and rising youkai. Players move with the arrow keys, shoot and confirm with Z, use a bomb or cancel with X, and slow their movement with Shift.
Esc pauses the game. Gamepad play supports Xbox 360, Xbox One, and PlayStation 4 controllers; the launcher offers default configurations and keyboard remapping. The game features new stage presentation and danmaku patterns, with challenges framed around a continuing incident and a newly introduced character.
