| Game | Pros | Cons | |------|------|------| | | Very forgiving (longer continue time, you can “fail” Spell Cards without dying). Has Spell Practice mode. | Slightly complex time meter mechanic. | | Touhou 10: Mountain of Faith | Simple mechanics (no Power item grind). Fast-paced. | Less bombs. Final boss is a wall. | | Touhou 13: Ten Desires | Short stages, easy extra stage. | Lower difficulty overall — some find it less exciting. | | Touhou 17: Wrath of the Beast (modern) | Fun animal spirit mechanic, moderate difficulty. | Modern style; play this after PCB/IN. | touhou project
