I just finished ojousama no doki doki daisakusen! Well, at least the main quest up to the Flandre route. Now only the clock tower challenge is left! I've been playing it on and off since last summer and I wholeheartedly recommend this game. It's cute, challenging, well designed and you get to play as Remilia and the as Flandre! But the Flandre route is kind of secret and it can only be unlocked after you finish the Remi route, so keep it a secret okay?

It's by Blue Mica, they also made touhou splinter cell, which was also very fun to play but I think they outdid themselves with this game. They're also going to release a 3D version of their splinter cell touhou game on Reitaisai 10, which is something I won't miss!

Do you guys have any doujinsoft group you like the most? I feel tasogare frontier overshadows a ton of great developers simply because they pair up with ZUN, but I think there are groups just as good (or better!) than them. Blue mica is a good example of that!

Stop using so many exclamation marks you fuck. Your optimism is bringing the board down.

You can also play with Yuyuko in the clock tower mode and there's probably a ton of other secrets I still haven't unlocked. The game has a lot of replayability! And of course, there's an english translation patch avaliable too.

Sorry about that. It's just that Reitaisai is getting close and there's a lot to be excited about, at least for me.

[proREMIRIAt Elite Force Commander !rSDMROXTB. No.]

That game was pretty good, but the Yuyu/Flan mode was lacking.

And I like the most known ones, though there are a few good games I've played but can't remember who made them.

Is there more to the game? I saw some pictures rolling during the credits that I didn't see ingame, like Cirno and I think Mystia dodging danmaku that looked like Reisen's. More unlockable modes? Plans for future projects? Or just stuff that was scrapped before the game was complete? It's just that you're talking about Flan and Yuyuko as if their parts were meant as a full game.

Are all their games rpg's? How long are we talking about in gameplay hours, just considering the main quest? I'm always turned off by those games because they look like they'll take too long to finish.

And Yuyu/Flan modes were intended as extras, they really felt like extras.

But (non-artificially) long RPGs are the best! Genius of Sappheiros is divided into 21 stages in the main game and expansion adds 6 more stages plus side quests. Each stage has their own gimmicks and puzzles and even most bosses have unique aspects to them, rather than you just spamming your strongest attacks and winning with any team.

It's a very quality game and one of the best RPGs I've played in years, but yes, it is indeed quite long. Main game will likely take at least 50+ hours.

I'll give phantasmal summoners a go. If I'm satisfied with it I'll try genios of sapheiros. I saw all the threads but well, the rpg label scared me away. Thank you for the suggestion.

[Anonymous No.]

>>10827804
I'd start with Genius of Sappheiros. Phantasmal Summoners plays radically different from it and lacks much of the depth that Genius had. In fact, most of the difficulty in Summoners just depends on wether or not you get lucky with monster card drops.

[Anonymous No.]

>>10827804
But Phantasmal Summoners is just a quick small gimmick game and isn't really compared to a full RPG experience like Genius of Sappheiros. It's like comparing Kamidori to Minna Minna Daisuki Kozukuri Banchou.

Not to mention it's not translated.

They're from the same group, so playing it will let me know what kind of standard I'm dealing with before jumping headfirst into a huge game, because if I start it and don't like it I'll still feel forced to complete it.

[Anonymous No.]

>>10827901
Anon, that's not a good argument for this kind of stuff. Summoners is just a quick cash-in that re-uses pretty much all the sprites from the earlier games, has no real story or witty dialoque and just forces you to use twitter if you want to fight better enemies. It's like comparing Megaman X with Megaman Xover because they are both made by Capcom. X is a classic game beloved by many while Xover is social rpg shit, just made to make some money for the 20th anniversary of Megaman.

There is a reason why there were so many threads about Genius, but not even one full thread about Summoners.

No, they overshadow others because they make good games.

I like Lion Heart, Fly System/Area Zero/whoever the fuck maintains Magical Battle Arena now, and Twilight Frontier because patchcon, dynamarisa, that Madoka game, and that lead-Koishi-around game were just that good.

I generally like Desunoya a lot. I beat world 8 of pic related not long ago, and the immense satisfaction that followed was not something I experience all that often.

I also really liked the RemiDoki game you're talking about. Guess puzzle/platformer hybrids are right up my alley.

Alright, alright! I'll try genios of sapheiros! But unlike capcom, doujinsoft circles don't have enough room to make those kinds of quality turn-arounds. In fact, you can see this circle sticks to what they do best since their games are all rpg's.

What do you mean, grinding? I never had to grind for anything. As for the comparison I can't give you a proper answer because I haven't played super meat boy, but I heard it's more of trial and error platformer. Remidoki is more about solving puzzles. It feels a lot like metroidvania to me.

Nightmare of sleeping girl probably has some of the worst Touhou remixes i've ever heard in a game. Seriously, it remixes songs and then adds completely pointless text over them. One song has the "I have a dream" speech over it for no reason. They ruin so many songs with shit ike that.

Mindlessly grinding mobs in the 9999999999999 hour dungeons, only broken up by 1 minute of conversations after the boss is what you consider fun? Just so you can move to the next dungeon and do it all over again?

This is what qualifies as a good RPG to you guys? I thought it was pretty decent, until hour 20 set in and I realized the entire game was nothing but pointless battles.

[Anonymous No.]

>>10831558
well, I guess the makers didn't have the cash to enrich the game with DX11.1 grafix and kawaii voice acting. It's all battles, treasure gathering and occasionally a simple puzzle. maybe it is not the second coming of Christ, but a solid game.
You're clearly exaggerating with the grinding. Especially with weekend version you don't need to do that, at least not during the maingame

[Anonymous No.]

>>10832097
"Grinding" was probably not the right word to use.

When someone says grinding, they rightfully assume that you are fighting the battles simply for the sake of leveling or something. This is not what I intended to say.

Simply going through the dungeons involves 999999999999999999 repetitive fights.

It's not an exaggeration to say that the entire game consists of 98% fighting trash mobs as you make your way to bosses, which consist of the other 2% of the game.

Also, if you think my complaints of the game would be absolved if I had pretty "grafix" and "kawaii voice acting" to distract me, then you can go eat shit.

I did not expect or appreciate a "grinding game," which is all it is.

But it isn't. Levels often have little effect later in the game. It's all about setup. If there's something to criticize, it's how luck reliant some battles are, not the amount which is just right. And there's no random encounters to boot.

It's a grind to get to this point of the game and when you reach it, it turns into a grind to get items.

>If there's something to criticize, it's how luck reliant some battles are, not the amount which is just right.

99999999999999999999999999 fights a dungeon is not "just right." It's incredibly boring, tedious horseshit.

Don't try to pull the "no random encounters" card, either. You still have to fight those fucking monsters whether you want to or not, for various reasons.

Well basically, yeah, but how to do it safely as well. Can't one-shot those elite angel/demon enemies, and those giants in youkai mountain always went after Patchouli regardless of tank's provoke, ect. Figuring out strategies to come out of a fight in a new area with no lives lost and minimal mp spent feels like an accomplishment, and that's not touching bosses.

[Anonymous No.]

>>10833043
Guess I should explain my previous point though. Figuring out hard fights is fun, and that's usually the reward in and of itself. But at times I find myself wishing Sappheiros had a bit more of a story for the first 80% of the game, or that I could use items to refresh my party's bombs/mana mid-dungeon rather than trudging back to a heal point, and so on. It's not the game's fault, because the game does what it set out to do awesomely, but I'm glad there are different kinds of rpgs for different moods too, like Dragon Quest and such.

I found another nice game! It's called kinokon - defend my sweet home. It's a 3D game played from an isometric perspective. You play as Alice as she tries to keep her house clear of mushrooms who are growing on the ground. It's kind of like whack-a-mole but there are different types of mushroom and they do different things and there's some cool power-ups to help you out againt the mushrooms! There's two modes, one has a time limit and the other one lasts forever! It's well worth five minutes of your life if only for the cute song and graphics!
