Awesome Touhou action adventure game with Remilia and Sakuya. Snappy combat, fun bullet hell bosses, and the two playstyles feel distinct enough for a second run. Surprisingly addictive if you just want to destroy everything as the Scarlet Devil herself or her mansion's maid. Lots of chaos and alternate hidden endings.

I love the gameplay, but the story felt really empty. Skill builds and items that you get while playing the game is genuinely a blast to play around as you progress, and its super satisfying to just switch to your newer skills mid game just to try them out on nearby enemies. the items that you find throughout the game is also a nice little addition to buff your skill builds, and of course, your character. As i played the game, though, it became kinda boring because of the lack of character interactions there are in the game. Sure, playing around with your build is fun, but... thats about all there is to the game when youre exploring the maps. The maps quickly became super boring to explore because of the lack of depth they had. Aside from the lava map, every other map felt really empty. what filled all of the maps were the near same enemy types that you see throughout the game, and it quickly really gets repetitive. I dont really mind the reused enemies, i would personally like to see more npcs when making the maps to make them more fun to explore! aside from that, the game is really fun, just based on gameplay alone, but could definitely use some work on the maps!

cute game, i like it, it's hard at times and easy at times, it's fun too. i also think this game would be a good introduction for anyone new to Touhou as it was for me. and for classic Touhou fellas, there's even a bullet hell mode in the launcher's Misc. settings!

Scarlet Curiosity is kinda cute for what it is, it feels like a ps2 era game plays extremely simple and is a game you can casually finish in like 5 hours or so, It's cheap and it's fun if you wanna play a cute little touhou game without bullet hell and headache committment pick it up. That being said I ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ hate the 100% for this, slog ass 100% man honestly. lvl 99 grind was just boring and obnoxious. Bullet Hell mode was fun until I got to Patchouli and Remilia, because their fight has no heal available, and they like 3 shot you, you basically have to play perfect, it really was not very fun. I absolutely DO NOT recommend 100%ing this game. 0/10 no Nazrin 🥀🥀🥀 kinda ♥♥♥♥♥♥ up
