Touhou Fuujinroku: Mountain of Faith

  • Timing and reflexes matter (parrying, dodging)
  • Fantasy setting
  • Challenging difficulty

A classic Touhou bullet-hell shooter where you weave through dense danmaku patterns as a shrine maiden. The Faith-meter scoring system and memorable soundtrack make it a fan favorite.

Orcs Must Die!

Tactical depth

Third-person tower defense where you lay traps in fortress corridors and join the fight with crossbow and spells as orc hordes get flung, sliced and burned in slapstick chain reactions. A cocky war mage hero keeps the tone gleefully comedic.

Mushihimesama

Timing and reflexes matter (parrying, dodging)

A frantic Cave arcade bullet-hell shooter where you fly through insect-filled forests, weaving through dense bullet patterns. Precise dodging and quick reflexes are the core of the experience.

Touhou Hisouten: Scarlet Weather Rhapsody

Fantasy setting

You fly as Reimu through a bullet-hell shooter where strange summer weather and a leveled Hakurei Shrine throw Gensokyo into chaos. Dense walls of projectiles demand precise dodging, and that tension is the heart of the experience.

Touhou Koumakyou: The Embodiment of Scarlet Devil

Timing and reflexes matter (parrying, dodging)

A classic bullet-hell shooter where you play Reimu or Marisa, weaving through dense bullet patterns and countering with spell-card bombs. Famed for its memorable music and as the entry that made the Touhou series' Gensokyo setting popular.

Child of Ault

Action-packed real-time combat

A tower-defense and shooter hybrid where a boy uses magical toy weapons to hold off dark forces, with a strong focus on atmosphere and presentation.

Touhou Youyoumu: Perfect Cherry Blossom

Timing and reflexes matter (parrying, dodging)

A classic bullet-hell shooter from the Touhou series where you pick a character with distinct shot types and weave through dense, elaborate bullet patterns. The Cherry Point scoring system rewards risky play, backed by a famously beloved soundtrack.
