games

Touhou Spell Carnival is a unique blend of strategy and shmup gameplay with ample amounts of charm and depth. ― This was my first exposure to the Touhou… franchise? Expanded universe? Mass hysteria? I'm not sure if any of those terms are correct, or perhaps it's all three. In any case, I have never ventured into the Touhou waters before. Other than knowing it was a bullet-hell shmup series featuring ...
