New Touhou fangame came out yesterday and it's actually really good!
EIoS is a Chinese fangame that's been in development for quite some time. It had a really rough development cycle and apparently it's a miracle it even came out.
They changed the system and all the stages like three times or something.
Game looks gorgeous and the stage design is also really good and interesting. Easily one of the best Touhou fangames I've played and probably the best one on Steam now.
The stages are very dynamic because of the system, you're constantly doing something to get chains. The chains are very creative too, and every stage has totally unique ones.
The boss patterns are pretty fun too.
Translated game manual: en.touhouwiki....
Basically there are two types of enemies, popcorn and big enemies with circles around them.
- Your unfocused shot can't hit any of the popcorn but your focused shot can.
- Enemies have three types of colors, red, green and blue.
- Killing big enemies while popcorn are in their circle will dye them into that color, kill them and then give you items of the same color.
Exception being white popcorn, they need to be dyed twice before they die.
- Red items are for lives, green items are for bombs and blue items are for score.
- Killing enemies through dyeing increases the dye chain count, which is the Last Spell unlock condition.
- On Lunatic popcorn will shoot extremely deadly revenge bullets if you try to kill them with just your focused shot.
Speaking of Last Spells, every stage except 6 has an extra spellcard at the end you can trigger by meeting the dye chain requirement for the stage.
The bottom right shows your total chain, the chain requirement for the current stage and the big number is the current stage chain.
Capturing the Last Spells gives you a lot of score but you don't lose a life or bomb if you fail them.
Reimu team is very good but stage 5 seems like an extreme problem for them. It's ridiculously hard to get the dye chain requirement, it's super tight and if you miss one of the bubble fairy cancels it's like impossible to recover.
Reimu team is like the worst shottype for this because the homing keeps messing you up.
The game has good practice options (boss, midboss, spellcard and nonspell practice), but it's a bit bare-bones for stages. Like no 'start from 2nd half' or anything like that.
Which is a bit frustrating when stage 5 second half is like the hardest thing in the game.
Stage 3 is kinda like Touhou 8 where the boss is one of the other teams you can choose at the start. With the Reimu team you fight the Mokou team.
Game is quite tough. Feels a lot harder than your standard Lunatic mode.
Bosses have a lot of dense RNG attacks and stages will destroy you if you don't route them properly.
