Great game for Touhou fan, as all the featured characters are written quite funny and stay true to their role in the OG universe. The music remains the signature of the franchise with very high-speed, energetic songs, thou there are only one track per region so if you get stuck it'll get old fast. I love all the references in this game tho. Sometimes I even feel bad as some enemies are just too cute. For people who's looking for a metroidvania game, it's not Hollow Knight, but this game is snack-size that you can pick up and finish in 1-2 sessions. The badass mechanic of time manipulation is something this game nails really well. Games also feature a boss rush after you finish everything else in the game, the thing is the bosses stay the same as the first time you face them so you can wipe the floor with the first few bosses. I think the mode is an afterthought after they've finished everything else so it's quite imbalance (for the bosses). Small tip: after a tough boss fight you should go back to the previous checkpoint to save and heal up. If you die in the next screen before saving you'll have to do the boss fight again.
Luna Nights is a metroidvania-style Touhou Project game. You play as the Perfect and Elegant Maid Sakuya and have to fight the Embodiment of Scarlet Devil cast (with 1 exception- one character from Mountain of Faith). The game is easy if you learn to use Sakuya's time manipulation (snail and timestop) in addition to learning the patterns of the bosses (grazing enemy attacks grants HP and MP recovery). I do wish that the first two bosses had more of a bullet hell nature- I found myself enjoying the latter bosses. Like most Touhou Project games, Luna Nights has a great soundtrack. My favorite track is Studio Ladybug's rendition of The Maid and The Pocket Watch of Blood- the stage 2 theme. I will say- I am dissapointed in how they used Lunar Dial, the boss theme for Sakuya, as the stage 1 theme. My biggest criticism of the game is the story- it's extremely barebones and doesn't capture the witty dialogue that can be present within Touhou Project. I would recommend Luna Nights for someone who wants a combination of bullet hell and metroidvania. I would not recommend this game if you are looking to get into Touhou Project for the story. P.S. Studio Ladybug please add Rumia to Luna Nights 2. Thanks.
Throughout my time with this game, I am amazed at just how many good things this game does as a smaller-scale fangame that’s derivative from the Touhou Series. This game blends the elements from the mainline games with the metroidvania formula so well it creates such an interesting and unique gameplay experience that you don’t really find anywhere else in the genre. The Gameplay You play as Sakuya Izayoi, the head maid of the Scarlet Devil Mansion, and with her ability to manipulate time with her pocket watch, she can turn the tides of combat into her favor. In this game, your basic attacks cost MP and she throws out her signature knives, and this meter slowly recovers over time, or you can opt to graze the enemy by standing close to them without touching or getting hit. This creates a sense of risk reward to where you might sometimes need to purposely get close to the enemy to be able to continue dealing damage. Where the combat and exploration gets pretty interesting is when you gain the ability to both slow down time, and stop time completely. Slowing down time gives you more opportune time to avoid attacks or navigate tricky sections easier, and stopping time allows you to pause everything for a brief moment and reposition and set up your attacks. Any attacks you use in your time-stop state consume the time gauge, and the attacks will stay on screen until the time becomes unstopped. The way it was implemented is super satisfying and the trick never gets old. While this sounds broken in concept, the game is pretty balanced around it, but this game won’t be the hardest thing you ever played probably, which is not a bad thing. The Story (or lack thereof) As for the story, there basically is nothing substantial, just character interactions between Sakuya and the other Embodiment of Scarlet Devil (EoSD) cast of girls from Touhou 6 . You’ll find familiar faces through characters like Meiling, Marisia, Patchouli, and Remilia for example along with some other cameos. Even if you have no knowledge of the characters from EoSD or what happens, you can honestly still fully enjoy it as besides the characters nothing really will confuse you without having the proper context for anything. The Music As for the music, the soundtrack mainly features remixes of stage and boss themes from EoSD which sort of fit more inline with the locations they are used in and fit the metroidvania style. While the original Touhou tracks are iconic and hard to beat, these remixes are still really solid on their own, and highlight just how good Touhou music is just in general. Potential Downside & Final Thoughts The only downside for this game is just how short it is. I wish it went on even for a little bit longer, but I guess the flipside is that nothing in this game truly overstays its welcome. However I do believe the game does a lot within this short game length to really stand out and offer a unique experience for something in the metroidvania genre with Sakuya’s timestop ability. Overall, just a solid game that even people who aren’t super into Touhou can enjoy. While short, it provides a lot of fun gameplay elements blending in Touhou mechanics from the mainline bullet hell games with a metroidvania, mainly the time manipulation being the main standout and highlight of this game.
Simply peak one of the most polished indie games I've ever played with mechanics that seem simple but have a lot going on under the surface. It's somewhat short but with the addition of the extra stage it ends up feeling just the right lenght and most importantly the game is quality from beginning to end. The only thing you could call a downside is that by metroidvania standards the exploration is pretty weak, I'd even hesitate to call this a metroidvania since there's barely any exploration or mandatory backtracking, there are character upgrades but you'll get all of them by simply playing, exploring is mostly to get upgrades to stats or ocasionally a new sub-weapon. In a sense its more of a 2D platformer with 1 gigantic stage. Personally I didn't find this to be a problem at all just be aware of this going in in case you're a combatslop vs explorationslop metroidvania player.
