Touhou Danmaku Kagura Phantasia Lost presents itself as a charming rhythm game, boasting a surprisingly intricate gameplay system that can captivate players for hours on end with its memorable tracks from the Touhou franchise. Unfortunately, the game's campaign fails to impress due to its underwhelming narrative and visual presentation.

As a rhythm game, the importance of music cannot be overstated. If the music falls short, it can significantly impact the gameplay experience, potentially rendering the game unplayable.

The engaging strategies you can employ in stages, the freedom to play your favorite tunes in free mode, and the vibrant aesthetics paired with the infectious music really sealed the deal for me.
