I wanna get into Touhou, where do I start
| Doujin albums.
| Be a man and start with Embodiment of Scarlet Devil. Or, well, Imperishable Night is considered one of the best games to start with.
| Be a man and start with the original PC-98 titles.
| Ok not this again. EoSD isn't very nice to look at on modern screens. If you don't want to squint or look at pixellated graphic, start with Ten Desires or later.
But really, you can start whenever. IMO: SA, UFO, and LoLK are the hardest. TD is the easiest. SWR is a solid fighting game.
And it's totally OK if you're just a fan of fan materials. Touhou music scene is pretty great by itself.
Good luck, op. And welcome!
| And in case you're confused about all those acronyms, the Touhou wiki is great: https://en.touhouwiki.net
| Why are people suggesting EOSD? The lack of visible hotbox and the absurd bubbles make the game painful for a first time player.
I'd suggest Perfect Cherry Blossom or Imperishable Night.
Also, Shift key makes you 'focus', ie slow down and shows your hitbox. 99% of touhou players start off not knowing this and die horribly.
| id consider imperishable night the easiest touhou game, a good one to start with. the pc-98 are great too though. the first touhou game is pretty cool but its different from the rest.
| There are hitbox patches for EoSD, but yeah it definitely shows it's age.
What I did was just download several different games and tried them all just to see how they play differently before focusing one one.
In general 8, 10, and 13 are decent starting points. 7 and 11 are probably still my favourites though.
