Touhou - Wandering Souls

I spent over sixty-five hours playing it and cleared it with 100% twice: first on Normal, then on Lunatic (because I am a lunatic, clearly).
Wow... you're amazing. I haven't beat the last fight on Lunatic yet. :D

First, it was irritating to have to travel back to the start of the stage or let everyone die every time I wanted to restart a stage (and that happened a lot in Lunatic Mode when I had to clear a stage without dying or with only one character, haha). An option to leave or restart the stage from the pause menu would have been very helpful!

Second, there was not really any conclusion to the story after collecting all of the souls and items. (Unless I missed it?) Even though the story was not very important, it would have been nice to have a scene or bonus area where all the characters say one last thing, perhaps congratulating Reimu or the player.
I'm too lazy to do anything about that now that the game is complete, but yes, you're right. =)

Temporary effects persist between stages, which seems a little odd to me. You can cheat a little as Sakuya by entering a stage, casting Rising Spirit and Temporal Barrier, leaving the stage, then entering again.
Definitely not a major problem, but I'll fix it. ^^

You can change equipment while those circles that shoot at you are present as long as there are no other enemies. Is that a glitch, or is it intentional since those are not normal enemies?

You can use certain attacks (such as Reimu's Fantasy Seals or Marisa's Flight of the Witch) to gain extra height, which makes difficult jumps easier and allows you to skip certain areas. I think this is really neat and useful for speedruns, so if it was unintentional, please leave it in!
Both are (more or less) intentional. ;)

If you want someone to proofread the English script, I would be happy to do it! Most of it is fine already, but there are a few goofy lines here and there.
Yes, that would be very nice of you.
Dialogs are all included in the file Data/Dialogs_ENG.lang, you can open it with Notepad like a normal .txt file.
There's also text in the LANG script but you'll need VX to access it. Or I can send it to you in a .txt file if you want.
Thank you in advance. =)

The most damage I have managed to deal in a single hit so far is 429,782
;D

Thank you so much for making this wonderful game!
And thank you for playing and enjoying Wandering Souls that much. I made this game for people like you. =)

Touhou - Wandering Souls Review

Thanks for the review, wltr3565, it was detailed and pleasant to read. =)

The fact that the game doesn't have its own custom graphics and musics is my biggest regret, but let's face it, it was out of my reach.

The preloading option isn't really important. It just averts small freezes by loading most graphics at the start of the game. You won't even notice the difference on most computers.

And congratulations on beating the game in Lunatic mode! You might be the first one besides me to perform this feat (and if you beat it at 100% then you're truly an amazing gamer!).

Touhou - Wandering Souls

1) I'll think about it. Maybe some sort of aura to enlighten them.

2) It's one of the few bugs I'm too lazy to fix. Deal with it. :D

3) and 4) are explained in a FAQ section on french topics but I didn't translate it. Sorry. =/

3) 1 dex = 0.1% critical strike chance

4) Simply by using them. They get 5% more powerful each new level (the duration of effects also increases).
There's no notification because, well, It's not that important to know. I don't want to distract the player with unnecessary notifications during a boss fight. ^^

5) I don't think it's a major problem but yeah, you're right. I'll keep that in mind for future projects. ;)


Good luck with the end game. =)

Touhou - Wandering Souls

199 souls, nice!

I don't understand what you're supposed to do at Netherworld's secret stage.
You already found the secret door behind the enemy vortex I suppose. There you need to destroy orbs in the right order. There are hints scattered in the stage.


You also need all the weapons and accessories to get a 100% completion.

Touhou - Wandering Souls

That sucks. :/
I'll update a new version for the game later.

Here's a quick fix (replace Data/Scripts.rvdata and Data/Map019.rvdata) :

That should fix your save.

Thanks for the report anyway.

I'm pretty confident that you won't encounter another game breaking bug so don't worry too much. :)

Game updated to v1.01

Touhou - Wandering Souls

Lunatic Mode on your first try? You must be crazy... :D
I haven't beat it at 100% on Lunatic myself (yet).
Hard Mode already provides a good enough challenge I think. But hey, do what you want, who am I to tell you how to play the game? ;)

One thing that I was surprised wasn't included though was a Grazing mechanic. I keep thinking I can graze and go dashing straight into enemy fire.
Well, you take half damage when dashing so it's still better to rush into bullets than doing nothing. ^^
A grazing mechanic could have been interesting indeed. To be honest, I didn't even think about it. But It's too late now. That would totally break the balance of the game. :p

Anyway, good luck!
And if you manage to at least see the credits on Lunatic, tell me about it, I really want to know if someone besides me can do that.

Yes, it's a shameless self-promotion but the topic calls for it. :D

Touhou - Wandering Souls

Yes I like it! ;)
Thank you very much, It's the first time I saw a video that covers the most interesting features of the game.

You can do an "air jump" in this game, which means you can dash then jump while in mid-air.
