/vt/ - Virtual Youtubers

Been playing a schnaz of Touhou 18.5 and have to say the roguelite format I find kind of genius: Grazing for money and spending it on run-specific upgrades is such a cool risk-reward system. In other Touhou games I was never really into grazing just for the score.
It's kind of my dream game, on paper at least. But in reality it's absolutely kicking my ass and unfortunately most of the upgrades improve things you're doing anyways without altering your basic strategy all too much. Maybe I haven't unlocked some of the spicier game-altering stuff yet but so far things seem very basic which is a bit of a shame. ZUN's first foray into designing these kinds of systems so it feels a bit rough even though the Touhou basics are there. Feels like wasted opportunity, bullet hell roguelite could definitely be a huge hit.

Which got me curious that surely somebody's developed something like that but searching for highly rated bullet hell roguelikes the results seem just nodreally indresding.
