If you're opposed to playing with a wiki pulled up while you play, don't buy this. Otherwise, it's a great DRPG. It's big strengths are in the top tier party building/customization and boss fights. I've recruited about 30 characters, and they all feel genuinely different. This just doesn't happen in games. While the random enemies are typical DRPG boring trash fights, the boss fights are numerous and as varied as the party members. So many items are available to customize loadouts as well, and you will absolutely want to change out equipment for certain fights. I've been playing on Hard, and the boss fights have been well balanced and satisfying to defeat. I've never been forced to grind yet, which is a big plus that I normally hate in DRPGs. Neutral side: the dialogue is OKish. Definitely amateur writing. I've seen worse, but I'm not compelled by the cast/story. I don't care about Touhou at all, so if you do, it might hit different. That said, it's easy to skip through, so it's no biggie. Other big flaws: recruiting certain characters is simply a chore and required for the postgame. And you can't see boss stats until after killing them...which is not helpful. These are the 2 biggest reasons to have the wiki pulled up (though that doesn't fix all the annoyances - like requiring certain characters to be in the party for prolonged use).

DRPG that made the genre brilliant. Unlike most DRPGs, this one very much stands out by telling you to assemble a 12-unit party (more like a small army) and then expecting to make full use of its strengths while covering its weaknesses in its backline-frontline + ATB based combat. One of the most mechanically unique RPGs I've had pleasure of playing, from many options of customising your party between dives to challenging, almost puzzle-like boss battles sometimes requiring you to use your party members in unorthodox ways. Suffers a bit from description clarity just like other games in the same genre, nothing that cannot be handled with a bit of wiki diving though, the wikis for this game are very clear and complete in both Japanese and English. Highly recommended to check out, and especially so with an even richer spiritual sequel on the horizon.

The base game is very well ballenced and has a very good progression to it (~70 hours), but DO NOT PLAY THE POST GAME or plus disk content. I treid and honestly there is a vertical cliff of a difficulty spike that just made it so unfun that I could not beat bosses even when massivly overleveled despite finding the base game bossed not that hard.

Despite its decently high price point, this game is well worth the money if you're looking for a serious time sink for an RPG. As of this review, I've made it past the main game, main postgame, the "plus disk" main content, and just started the "plus disk" postgame content. I know there's still a ton of game left to play, but I wanted to leave a review now that the next installment is launching soon. The pros: Incredibly in-depth combat system where all units have potential to be good, even if some units are certainly more useful than others in more situations. The 12-party, 4-active and 8-reserve system with strategic switching is unique and very flexible once you get used to it. Character writing is very fun and the plot, while simple, had a few clever beats to them. The boss battles are the main gameplay attraction, and even in "Hard" mode, never quite feel unfair. The cons: For being a Touhou game, the music, while good, has a few flaws. For one, they're not really Touhou related, just music used from a general-purpose music licensing source. But the much bigger flaw is that the music does not properly loop. It just fades out and then starts from the beginning. I really hope the next game properly loops its music. Some move effects and other gameplay aspects are not clear in-game and are sometimes intentionally hidden from the player. You won't necessarily truly know the nitty gritty of your character's capabilities unless you look at the wiki or do a lot of trial and error. Thankfully, the wiki is a very useful source and guide, so this isn't a major problem in itself. But despite those two problems, the game overall is fantastic. If you're a fan of Etrian Odyssey-style gameplay, or in general want to play with a very configurable combat system, get this game.
