Yo, slight retcon here. Mudprints' newer content is being rebranded and moving to a new channel called Tengokuno. Most likely because his series bullet heaven is getting all mucked up because bullet heaven is now becoming a genre (Vampire Survivor like games). You can still find his older content on the channel I showcased, but if you want the new hotness check out Tengokuno on youtube!

I have heard my fair share of Touhou music remixes and fallen completely in love with Japanese Hardcore Techno(J-core) to the point of spending ~60$ on a single Gensou Hardsound CD. Because of this I have been interested in playing Touhou and bullet hell games for a while. I have actually purchased and cleared Mushihimesama on steam after seeing a review on youtube a while back. I come back to it every once in a while and I do want to eventually get a 1CC. I just wish I had more time for gaming, as Fighting games, Rhythm Games, and Shmups all take big time dedications to get to the level I want to be at.

Oh and also (making a separate comment just for soundtracks to check out) some other soundtracks to check out: -Lords of Thunder -Border Down -Ibara (this game’s biggest claim to fame is when Cool&Create mashed up Show Time and Fly to the Leaden Skies) -Rabi Ribi (technically a metroidvania with shmup patterns but I still count it) -Metal Slug -Ginga Force & Natsuki Chronicles (also scored by Yasui) -Zero Wing (unironically, this game has a great soundtrack) -Blast Wind -Hyperduel -Ginga Fukei Densetsu Sapphire (shares a composer with Lords of Thunder) -Star Parodier -Akai Katana (composed by the late Ryu Umemoto, an underrated and goated PC 98 composer, RIP) -Flame Zapper Kotsujin -Illumination Laser (mentioned it in another comment but I gotta say it again for the people in the back) -Burning Force -Broken Thunder (which was pretty much legally distinct Thunder Force, that also flopped so hard that they reused some of the music for the final sections of Segagaga, composed by the same dude who composed Thunder Force V, Blast Wind, Hyper Duel, etc) -Metal Black (composed by ZUNTATA) -Exceed 2nd and 3rd (famous game remixer SSH composes for Exceed 2nd Vampire Rex and all of Exceed 3rd) -MUSHA (Aleste) -Super Aleste aka Space Megaforce -Cho Aniki -Area 88/UN Squadron -Aero Fighters 3 Individual songs I’d say are a must from any of these games are: -Violent Moon (Illumination Laser) -Intersect Thunderbolt (Exceed 3rd) -Theme of MUSHA Aleste (MUSHA) -Full Metal Goddess (Broken Thunder/Segagaga) -Dual Moon (Metal Black) -M.R. (Rabi Ribi) -Intrigue (Metal Slug 5) -Auzal (Lords of Thunder) -Boss (Ginga Fukei Densetsu Sapphire) -Mother Brain (Star Parodier) -Aniki 02 (Cho Aniki) -Sarinuka Sands (Burning Force) -The Justice Ray Part 1-5 (this is a final boss theme that spans multiple different games, starting from Blast Wind and Thunder Force V) -Open Your Eyes (Zero Wing) -Gallant Gunshot (Ginga Force/Natsuki Chronicles) -“Endless Train”, sometimes typoed as Endress Train (Ibara) -Purple Town (Border Down, song is exclusive to Dreamcast version) -Nehanmon/Nirvana Gate (Akai Katana) -Into the Last Battle (Flame Zapper Kotsujin) -Stage 1 (UN Squadron) -Show Me What You’ve Got!

@wutsmyname101 Nope. Len'En as a whole is a touhou inspired series, down to the one man dev team. RMI, the third game of the series, has the gimmick of playing as a team of two characters instead of one. You swap between them when you get hit, spend a bomb, or flashbomb - a mechanic in all of the games where you can fill up a meter through grazing, and then press the bomb key while unfocused to use a small bomb. It can't exactly be a death bomb, but it still offers a moment of invincibility outside of clearing some bullets. The character you aren't currently playing as will hang out at the bottom of the stage, and can collect power at an increased value, and can collect souls, another gimmick powerup item. The character not being currently played often has some additional properties. For example, in the Team of Yabusame and Tsubakura, Yabusame will move on their own to collect powerups, but Tsubakura has the standard behavior of slowly following the player controlled character. Tsubakura, lazy as they are, grants the ability to collect souls using the controlled character so they don't have to do any of the work. If your okay with downloading a game not on steam that needs a second download for an English translation, I'd recommend trying the series out! 1 and 2 are fairly standard, 3 I covered already, and 4 is... well... a very strange game. From easiest to hardest, 3, 2, 1. In my opinion. I haven't played 4 because it's a strange game and there might be a remake of it eventually.

A series i'd also reccomend to beginners who are interested in Touhou is Len'en. It's completely free, so no need for pirating or torrents or buying the game from steam then breaking DRM to translate the games. It's also got a lot more accessibility, with optional modes to make the game a lot easier. For example, where touhou only has Extra mode, Len'en also has easy extra, and you can play every difficulty either unmodified or on "Light" mode, which gives you max lives and basically negates powerloss.

Graze Counter GM is also pretty good. Multiple playable characters with different styles, a relatively laid back easy mode to ease yourself into the game, no real game over unless you choose to stop, and you can even add to your default lives. The game also is based around the mechanic of grazing, making it a great training ground for graze heavy games like Touhou. Also the soundtrack is like half eurobeat. Go listen to it. Only just got recommended this video, I hope I’m not too late to the party for suggestions. I also just learned Thunder Force V’s soundtrack is getting rereleased by SEGA, it lives in the shadow of its predecessor but it’s a game I absolutely recommend checking out.

Like many other Bullet Hell Monday fans in this comment section, I’d say Bullet Hell Monday is a great shmup, especially for beginners. It’s decently intuitive, especially with missions that task you with scoring high, utilising bombs to cancel bullets for items, getting high destruction rate and maybe even No Miss/No Damage No Bombing (NMNBing) a stage. (I’d still recommend looking up a bullet hell guide/tutorial tho as it will help you understand the missions better) The chapters have shorter goals with similar difficulty to most shmups and it’s free on Mobile! (with IAPs for most shot types unfortunately, but you can spend AP to rent them or get by without them. Steam has those shot types, but costs money) Also the eurobeat soundtrack is 🔥🔥🔥

A cool undervalued thing about Touhou games is how they are (mostly) accessible for bullet hell beginners and just plain sane for an average player. Rather than "quarter-munching" or over-accomodating to vets, ZUN actually knows how to make a smooth difficulty curve where your knowledge builds up over time, while also rewarding players' survivability with more resources to push forward towards 1CC.
@wutsmyname101
3 ай бұрын
Agreed, Touhou has a much more streamlined onboarding for newer players compared to the older arcade games. modern devs have the advantage of not having to make money off of quarters so their difficulty curve can be as forgiving or harsh as they want, so their design is completely unfiltered. I think the arcade design is really interesting too, especially when black labels are put out to stop the superplayers from demolishing their games and bankrupting them. but i guess ZUN doesn't really need to worry about that, he just wants some beer.

This is going to sound crazy, but I'd unironically suggest Touhou 15 as a beginner freindly game. Sure it's widely considered the most difficult game in the series, but Pointdevice modes is a perfect tool for a more "into the deep end," "learn by doing" approach. Quick and snappy restarts, you can spend as much time on each section as you need to, you can even step away from the game and come right back to where you left off. Add in a character whose bomb gives a permanent shield that blocks 3 potential deaths, and you've got a more slower paced way of learning the basics, with a strong sense of satisfaction when you finally beat the final boss after days or weeks of slowly making progress bit by bit.

i actually agree to some extent. i think for people who have grown with a more modern mentality of difficulty (progress until you hit a wall, then chip away at it) pointdevice mode is a great introduction. you just kind of have to know the person will stick with it before you can recommend a bonkers game like lolk.

It’s on Steam, give it a shot

All joke aside I just wanted to point out more awesome Indie Shmups if your viewers hasn't found them yet. =) I'm a big Shmup fan but I probably never will touch a Touhou game since I'm not into the mysteriously flying Gothic Lolita and lackluster backgrounds that series has going.

great video, but you should also explain that whole "dodging rain" thing is something players should not do, instead they should dodge without actually dodging ikaruga (at least the normal difficulty) is challenging but it's also my 2nd 1cc, maybe it's because I watched a bunch of guides on the game (you should for any shmup you're having difficulty with) but it's not the worst shmup for a beginner I can absolutely vouch for zeroranger, and if you want another game that bridges the gap between a typical action game and a shmup hop on hellsinker

Oh for sure, initially I had a whole section about avoiding bullets, talking about micro and macro dodging and where you should be looking at the screen. During editing I felt like it was a little outside of the scope of the video (more of an introduction to shmups) so I cut it out. Games wise, I wanted to showcase a list of games that are intuitive for casual runs, and if they eventually want more than a survival 1cc they could look into scoreplay or harder games

i'd recommend thprac for touhou since the games have pretty barebones practice tools shmups wiki has information on the well known ones as well as a video index. just watch survival clears instead of world records cause the latter won't be any good for 1cc also akshually some of these developers don't make bullet hell (konami, irem, toaplan, arguably psikyo)
@wutsmyname101
3 ай бұрын
This is some great info, I definitely should’ve pointed towards shmup wiki at least towards the end. Also yeah a lot of these devs don’t actually make bullet hell but i kinda used it as a blanket term for the sake of the title. Bullet Hell sounds much more elegant than shmup.

i actually showcased a couple shmups that many wouldn't consider danmaku. i kind of used bullet hell as a blanket term for shmups in this video, but im well aware of the separation between the two and i really like both types of games so i wanted to show them off a little. call it clickbait, call it seo optimization but you gotta agree it makes for an attractive title.
