Touhou LostWord

I love Touhou Project and I had played LostWord when it came out in JP, so I was really excited to play in EN. Unfortunately though, after a few new units dropped that require a new, harder to get currency for F2P or had no pity, I decided to drop it. Don't get me wrong, the art and the music are definitely worth it, and more Touhou lore is always nice, but having overpriced packages shoved in your face all the time got old fast, especially with the new festival types.

Honesty time. I love touhou as a series. This, for a mobile game, has a pretty decent story, good pve challenges, good art and a great selection of music. It needs more. You can't add people as friends despite having a display profile where you pick your favorite character to display, and there's no interaction with other people in the game - you're solo. There's no pvp or guild-type options either. I feel like I've run out of things to do except log in and auto events. It's disappointing.

The story is... okay. There are a lot of good concepts that simply aren't expanded upon in any meaningful way. The gameplay is generally too easy or too hard, with there rarely being an in between. The gacha system is very generous though, so if that's what you're here for, then that's a plus. There's a few neat side activities like short manga stories and rhythm games, but they don't add much to the experience.

The game is fun, and interesting. The art is nice, The soundtrack is nice, and the ip is great. However, the prayer mechanism sucks. Getting a character is nearly impossible due to how horrible the percentage rates are. The battles become very repetitive as time passes. Every week there's a new type of prayer, which is nearly impossible to keep rolling for due to the short limit time of getting them. I would be lying if I said that I didn't like the game though.

As a fan of Touhou for the last 18 years, I REALLY wanted to like this! Even though it's gacha, I tried. The story part is interesting and fun both conceptually and in execution! Some of the art is great and the music comes from some of the best-known circles out there! But I found the battle mechanics and especially the grind were just... unfun. I stopped and didn't even feel a bit of regret.

This is a very decent Touhou game. It has most of the characters, good selection of music and a decent gacha system. However, the story mode is unfinished and the events are kind of lack luster. The auto battle system takes a while to finish characters use their spell cards and final word cards right off the bat. It's still an okay game to play.

The story is overall interesting and nice to uncover. The game play becomes very repetitive and the auto play removes a lot of the excitement of playing. With the basic team (which I maxed out) I was able to get far. The most exciting part is the gotcha mechanic for new teammates. But other then that it does get repetitive. It's an okay game but it needs something more to make it great

I really like the game and the stories are amazing. Such a wide variety of characters. My only problem is that new characters drop way too fast after a new one was released a week or two ago. Is hard for F2P players to catch up and grind currency after finishing the main story and daily task. The art and music are amazing and I'd reccomend playing this.

Overall great game and really fun. Character design and level design is awesome, voice acting is great (not to mention you can change voice of your character). There are some issues with the game right now mainly the drop rates of characters is really low, coins are fairly difficult to get you have to rely on errands and offer box to get them, and lastly upgrade materials as there is no stable level to get upgrade materials. But we have to remember its a new release on global!

TLDR: story and gameplay great! UI and summon rates need adjusting. I have enjoyed it so far. The odds for getting friends is a little low, but not so insane that it's impossible (I got two in one summon so I might just be lucky). The game does have difficulty spikes, but they aren't so insane that you need to grind for days just to beat it. The UI is a bit complicated for beginners, and the bullet types make it even harder to understand. But the overall story and gameplay makes up for it to me.

As a player from the beginning, the game itself has evolved, although hard to say for the better or worse. While still having interesting concepts, it seems like a one and done ordeal without expanding. I feel as if they dish out more characters (currently with 0 purpose) rather than focusing on the story. That's not to say what they have provided isn't good. For a mobile game it's alright, especially for Touhou. I personally wish they'd listen to fan feedback more often though.

I've been having fun playing. Music is very nice. The game is quite easy at first but gets quite grindy at higher levels. Gacha rate is so-so. The auto mode is helpful but it would be even more practical if we could skip fights altogether, to save time. Oh and, this is the first mobile game I play that has multiple/switchable VAs for the characters, it's quite novel.

Good game overall, but there's a bug that happens to me pretty often where I'll get stuck at the game start up screen and I have to enter and exit the game multiple times to get it running properly. Developers, please fix this. I really like the game, but this bug is very annoying. Edit: Bug got fixed or stopped showing up, everything is good now.

This game is my favorite out of every single one I've played, which speaks a lot. Sure, gacha rates could be more solid, and rewards more accessible to f2p players, but a great game nonetheless. In the most recent patch, I noticed that whenever the game window is put away and reopened, all audio ceases. It's a similar issue with Slime - Isekai Memories, and it takes away from the experience whenever I have to turn off/on my headphones to listen to the game.

**Latest update (7/9) has a game-breaking bug on Android. The game just crashes and will not boot up at all now. I'm not sure about iOS. ** Otherwise, it is fun to pick up and play. The characters are varied and interesting. It's not a bad process to item collect and level them up, but event bonuses by costumes are essentially pay-walled by God Crystals that aren't easy to come by on an F2P basis. Update: July is nearly over, and I have still not been able to play the game since the last build.

It used to be fun to play. We used to get reasonably frequent story updates that had actual gameplay. Now chapters only have dialogue and maybe a couple levels of gameplay. The arenas and tower are a boring chore. Divergent Spirits requires more work than it's worth. The gacha banners are full of clutter. They constantly campaign for new players and ones that haven't played in a long time while doing basically nothing for regular players. It really feels like the quality has tanked considerably.

As an on and off player since launch and a huge fan of the Touhou series, I feel like this game has really stagnated in terms of actually gameplay. It's very repetitive, with no real incentive to play the actual game and instead just keep it on autoplay. Not to mention the in game rewards thing bombards you with way too much stamina at times, making it impossible to do certain daily quests, as trying to expend all of my stamina could take weeks of just constant autoplay. Art is INSANELY good tho
