I'm leaning more towards giving this a neutral review, which is something I wish Steam reviews actually allowed you to do. Touhou ~Red Empress Devil is a game that has a lot of potential on paper. Think of Enter the Gungeon meeting Touhou. The insanity and sheer velocity of danmaku hell combined with the random nature of roguelikes. I do love the look; the pixel art is insanely well-done and cute as well. It becomes rather evident that the developer has a lot of love towards Touhou Project. I wish I could continue being positive, but where this all falls apart is how unremarkable and unbalanced the experience is. Certain characters, such as Cirno, Mokou, Kaguya or Sakuya, basically destroy any enemy and boss with ease. While the likes of Chen and Rumia struggle against the very first boss. Obviously with someone like Cirno, you are initially forced to be more tactical due to her weak firepower, but she can freeze, or rather slow down, the enemy with her ice attacks. But that becomes moot rather quickly, because with a few power-ups she will be melting the enemy anyway. Runs feel the same; there is very little variety outside of the enemy placement and loot you get at the end of each room. You are sometimes given the option to visit the local shop, but outside of my initial run, I found this feature to be completely worthless, and the shop prices dictated by Nitori are ridiculous – not to mention how quickly your money caps at 999. It is definitely more rewarding to go for the 2-star rooms for better loot and power-ups, because it isn't that much more difficult than wasting your chances at the 1-star ones. You will still fight the same bosses, who can be decimated in mere seconds before they even get the chance to initiate their spell card attacks. I can give it some slack, since this game is based on Touhou 6, arguably the most influential and well-known entry of the series, but I would have loved the idea of having more bosses and dungeons from other games to spice things up a bit, especially when the developer made sure to include fan favourites from later entries, mainly from Touhou 7-8. I thought doing a full no-hit run would reward me with an extra fight with, you know, Flandre (if we are being accurate to Touhou 6), but nothing. It's just so brainless, and you can finish a run in mere minutes with little to zero effort. Successfully finishing a run doesn't net you any permanent upgrades or changes to the experience, level layout, or anything. I do see the potential in Touhou ~Red Empress Devil, but given how the game was seemingly abandoned by its developer, I am not getting my hopes up, and neither should you. And that's a shame, because I had some fun and motivation going for 100% completion while listening to a podcast or two during the evening, and I didn't regret buying it on sale. There is a great premise here, but ultimately it is wasted potential.

I hadn't opened it for over a year since I was waiting for a big update, more levels or the like, and it never came. No update for over a year now, and while being a fun little game, I wouldn't spend money on it. You can blast through it so quickly, genuinely 10 minutes. It's a shame, the game is so cute, and the art is really nice, but 5 dollars on sale is just too high a price for it. You can play other characters, but the same level everytime gets quite repetitive, and it mostly falls into the same very short loop. I really want to love this game, but I can't recommend it.
✦︎ Touhou sempre foi algo especial pra mim, algo que eu sempre quis entrar mais na lore e conseguir entender em geral, gosto bastante do universo e das personagens. Portanto um dia aleatório eu comecei a olhar todos os jogos de touhou que eu achava na steam e wishlistei os que eu achava que teriam um potencial. Com isso tudo foi ai que eu conheci esse jogo, arte linda, música boa, parecia interessante. Mas esse jogo tem problemas demais... ✦︎ Pontos Positivos: A arte desse jogo é muito bonita e perfeita, a música dele é boa, gameplay com movimentação boa, o jogo é divertido, possui muitas personagens diferentes pra testar e bosses legais. ✦︎ Pontos Negativos Bem... aqui que chega um ponto importante, eu PLATINEI esse jogo em 70 minutos, a gameplay é repetitiva e existe no maximo 2 build que você faz no jogo que se diferenciam de fato, a tradução dele é completamente errada e por IA, toda run é literalmente igual, o jogo é extremamente fácil e uma parte da platina é fazer no hit em todo o jogo, e eu fiz isso literalmente na primeira vez tentando. E pra um jogo que carrega um nome como touhou ser fácil assim é complicado, a gameplay das 20 personagens é quase igual, só mudando um pouco o tiro em cada uma e por fim ele apesar de ser minimamente divertido tem claramente um Dev que infelizmente não atualiza o jogo. ✦︎ Em síntese, esse jogo não vale nem o preço que eu paguei R$8,99 (já esta com 70% de desconto), pode sim apresentar pontos bons, como um exemplo perfeito a arte, mas ele se perdeu em um provável jogo muito ambicioso que o Dev não conseguiu terminar, consigo ver esse jogo crescendo cada vez mais e atualizando para se tornar algo genuinamente bom e bem... maior do que 70 minutos todo o conteúdo, infelizmente o Dev não deve ver assim. Com tudo isso, usei reembolso sem pensar duas vezes. ✦︎ Mini Bônus: comecei com esse jogo a olhar novamente os jogos de touhou que estão na steam e infelizmente boa parte é lotada de IA, espero um dia voltar a encontrar jogos bons de touhou. -Mew ≽(•⩊ •マ≼
This game's not worth $9 even with discount. There's no variety in level layout because you'll be fighting the same 4 bosses, no matter what characters you play as and what build you decide to do. The game's too easy to be broken and can be finished in 15 minutes.
Я бы охарактеризовал игру как довольно интересную задумку, у которой есть как свои плюса, так и минусы. Плюсы: 1) Приятный визуал самой как самой игры, так и персонажей; 2) Приятные ремиксы оригинальных саундтреков из Touhou 6 EoSD; 3) Много персонажей за кого можно поиграть; Минусы: 1) Слишком короткая игра для такой цены; 2) Проблема с реиграбельностью. Несмотря на обилие персонажей переигрывать игру раз 20 я бы не стал. Проблема в том что из-за того что от начала до боссов проходит слишком мало времени, ты доходишь до них слишком быстро, а по дороге появляются однообразные противники, из-за чего в свою очередь геймплей кажется однообразным. Было бы хорошо если б количество уникальных противников было бы больше. Улучшило бы положение и то, если для каждого персонажа у боссов была бы свою атака, которая была бы намерена усложнить игру за определённого персонажа. Ну или если бы зачистка комнаты состояла бы из нескольких этапов; 3) Баланс. Условно за какую-нибудь Рейму или Рейсен играть проще чем например за сестёр Призмривер; Примечания: 1) Поначалу я подумал что монетки в игру были добавлены по приколу. Во время своего первого прохождения за Рейму (Которую я прошёл с первого раза) я заходя в магазин натыкался исключительно на Коакуму из-за чего я не понимал куда девать монеты. Лишь где-то на 3 прохождении я выяснил что за место неё может появится Нитори. 2) Бомбы выпадали настолько редко, что я даже начал думать что предметы что позволяют получать их из врагов не имели никого эффекта. Чуть позже я выяснил что я ошибался. Вердикт: Как фанат серии игр Touhou Project я конечно и поставлю положительны отзыв, но с уточнением что игра полна недостатков.
Olha, eu paguei 9 pila em promoção, nesse preço o jogo vale sim a pena, o game é bem curtinho, eu platinei ele em menos de 2 horas, porém é um joguinho divertidinho de jogar, não recomendo pegar em preço, mas em promoção eu super recomendo, espero que tenha mais atualizações futuras para esse game
