I’ve been wanting to get into touhou project for a while but there are so many games (and sidegames) and it kinda overwhelms me (because I am stupid) and I don’t know where to start, any help would be much appreciated.
The classic starting points is either TH8 Imperishable Night for its forgiving mechanics, or TH7 Perfect Cherry Blossom for its straightforward gameplay. I’m quite out of date on anything after TH13 so I can’t say if a game that would serve as a better introduction has been made yet.
Thank you
do you know where to find any of those? I tried looking though I only found sketchy websites.
edit: I just got touhou 10 on steam for 15 dollars (worth it)
Piracy is stealing IP, so I’m just gonna warn you against using rutracker.org because apparently perfectly working english copies (that you can trivially find there just by pasting the game subtitle like “Perfect Cherry Blossom” into the search bar) are cracked, and depending on your country it may be possible to get into trouble with your ISP in the case you forget to turn your VPN on and he gets to know you used torrents. Make sure you don’t accidentally download the game by clicking on the magnet link in the top post of the forum thread, as it works without authentication.
I started on Touhou 7 a few weeks ago but my main goal rn is 1ccing TH6. If you want I can link a torrent site
A good starting point imo if you’re new to danmaku is Ten Desires. https://store.steampowered.com/app/1043230/__Ten_Desires/
The first two levels are fairly easy on normal and the difficulty spikes are tolerable from there. If you’re already used to danmaku, just start with Touhou 6
