Seeing the first form of Touhou gives me anxiety, somehow it's unsettling watching the Armpits Miko's juggling a Yin-Yang orb just to flip those cards... Man, I should stay around Bullet Hell Shooter. This is just hard for me!
is it challenging? Yes it is. but if u have short fuse, I don't reccomend play this.... like that floaty yinyang orb are actually... can kill u.... A LOT
Mostly a case of early installment weirdness. On a similar note, did you know that Puyo Puyo is actually a spinoff from a series of JRPGs? Puyos were a type of enemy in the game that served as a basic "slime" enemy (their name even translates as the sound of jiggling)
the first 3 games (Highly Responsive to Prayers, Story of Eastern Wonderland, and Phantasmagoria of Dimentional Dream) were all pretty different from each other and all released on the exact same day. if I had to guess how they got to the bullet hell games they are now I'd say that perhaps Touhou 2 was simply the most popular one. Touhou 3 got a successor in Touhou 9 and thankfully we've never had something like Touhou 1 released again (even on the easier difficulties Touhou 1 is nothing but pain and suffering)
@@marx4538 eh.... I very much disagree. I find that the only Touhou games that even get close to 1 in terms of raw frustration are 12 and 15 but at least I find those games a fun kind of frustrating (like Dark Souls or Elden Ring) compared to 1 which I'd consider to just be an utter slog to play. personally I feel like the series has done really well after 10. I really love 11, 14, 16, 17 and 18 (I'll admit that I'm not overly fond of 12, 13, and 15). overall I'd say the series has always had it's hits (2, 5, 6, 7, 8, 14, 16, 18) and misses (1, 3, 9, 12, 13, 15) but there's no specific point where it's gone downhill.
I'm surprised this game has never made it into the mainstream speedrunning community, yeah there isn't massive time skips, it'd make for the most interesting speedrun out of all the main line games though, i'm sure there'd be a lot of weird strategies.
Because the mechanics are annoying af. I'd rather k*ll myself then try to speedrun this game. It was already annoying having to beat it two times for two endings but speedruning would require a lot of replays which no one sane (except I wanna be the guy fans) would wanna go through.
to me the reasonably sized hit boxes for the bosses is the most shocking part compaired to the games that came after where you just needed to get inside their field imagine how hard the games would be now if the bosses only had one small vulnerable spit
@@TheKing-kd9li you would need to ficus your aim that takes more concentration with a smaller target unless you can somehow bomb spam the whole fight I;d say it would make things more difficult for everyone
@@jeweltara I agree that it will take more effort to hit but the boss sprites in the games after this are much smaller so the shrunken hitbox would only affect it a little compared to how noticeable it is here. It would probably make people prefer homing more though
@@TheKing-kd9li true if it was not for having to dodge all the bullet patterns I would agree with you however a single point on a normal sized character may seem simple I imagine when you factor in the fact most characters eat bullets for breakfast even in the beginning small tweeks can lead to alot of lost lives and probably lost sanity too.
One thing that surprises me most was the fact that Mima was in this But other than that, I LOVE the kikuri boss fight(and the music) I think I have a new favorite touhou boss from the PC-98 era
reasons i like touhou 1: -the game is abandonware so private it is okay (important reason) the game have doom melting screen (any game have a cool transition like melting screen get a instant W)
here I am not even able to beat this game on normal with continues >< great watch, fantastic music, this game's controls are kinda hard to get used to though
This actually looks really fun, and the playthroughs seem to be really short. If I can get the PC-98 emulator to work, I'll definitely start with Touhou 1.
As someone who played the game, the real final boss of Hell route is Kikuri, cause Konngara is such a joke compared to Sariel and the Stage 15 bosses. Plus worst case scenario you can just bomb your way through her (unless you're doing a no miss no bomb; in which case, good fucking luck lmao).

Reasons why you die, you either get hit by the ball or you get hit trying to avoid the ball.

Dude what the heck this looks so entertaining, I've always thought this was boring because i knew it wasn't a bullet hell but this is worth a try
It's quite unique, yes
It was the first in the series so there surely was a lot of experimentación going with the formula
The ball looks like a major asshole in this game :D
is it challenging? Yes it is.
but if u have short fuse, I don't reccomend play this.... like that floaty yinyang orb are actually... can kill u.... A LOT
I wonder how touhou became a bullet hell when the 1st game looked like a mix of bubble shooter and breakout genres hahaha

Henry Stickmin is a Touhou reference, confirmed (Ok no).

5:18 She's never returning *insert 2hu fans crying and screaming*
well, so do most of the pc-98 characters, unfortunately
Atleast she got some personality,and some dialog with Reimu,and become a final boss,unlike all character in Touhou 1

The fact that Mima is in this game.
One thing that surprises me most was the fact that Mima was in this
But other than that, I LOVE the kikuri boss fight(and the music) I think I have a new favorite touhou boss from the PC-98 era
Kikkuri’s intro is also the best one
So it was more like Breakout/Arkanoid? OK then.
It's kinda like a fusion of KiKi KaiKai and Arkanoid...
The bgm is fire
reasons i like touhou 1:
-the game is abandonware so private it is okay
(important reason) the game have doom melting screen (any game have a cool transition like melting screen get a instant W)

here I am not even able to beat this game on normal with continues >< great watch, fantastic music, this game's controls are kinda hard to get used to though
I love how Reimu sprite Color and Hair is looks like The Latest game
Idk why but Touhou hrtp is just so uncanny at least to me. Ig it’s bc of how little we know about it and the music too.
New life goal: Get a PC-98
or you could just emulate it
Man good luck getting your hands on a hard copy
buying a copy of this game would be expensive online...
I got it running and beat the first 4
Random idea: Shingyoku is going to donate their blood to you and that’s why their theme is called the positive and negative
@taaroan yeah oopsie lemme fix that
😂
@@oosha2000 (oh my goodness a response) 3 years later my point still stands
5:06 harry up topkek
So you're telling me, touhou was originally a pinball game?
Always has been
Not Pinball, it's Arkanoid
14:25 NOTE: If you put at 0.25x speed, anything that is red will become green.
Also, Konngara changes their facial direction wherever Reimu goes.
i like kikuri shoot shoot red laserbeams from her eyes, it's quite cool actually!
I think that it might actually be blood. Not red lasers. Plus I'm pretty sure Kikuri is dead. She's actually kinda confusing tbh.
So this is where it all started…
Based on my examination, the SSG did blow up my ear
This actually looks really fun, and the playthroughs seem to be really short.
If I can get the PC-98 emulator to work, I'll definitely start with Touhou 1.
Omg stage 15 boss looks insane with nonstop bullets.
10:58 - 11:47 I love have the Yin Yang orb was just acting like a big fat troll
Am I the only one who finds it kinda funny that Konngara shoots laser beams out of his sword?
"His" ?
@@artasky6093 konngara is possibly a he, it's not stated yet but since shingyoku was a he its possible
@@claus4670 ShinGyoku is ambiguous there three forms. One female, one male, and the ying yang orb
@@yatsuhashiwho still, the fact there is a male from makes it possible that Konngara's a he
@@claus4670 I like to think of Konngara more as a female more than a male and Sariel as a male more than a female.
Like si eres fan de kongara ya que es mi personaje favorito
Playing this game is like trying to play basketball with a shovel

As someone who played the game, the real final boss of Hell route is Kikuri, cause Konngara is such a joke compared to Sariel and the Stage 15 bosses. Plus worst case scenario you can just bomb your way through her (unless you're doing a no miss no bomb; in which case, good fucking luck lmao).
