OHAITHAR. I've just finished Touhou Sky Arena, labyrinth special disc, pocket wars Evo+, and Touhou 1 - 13. 13 on demo of course. Could any of you guys kindly recommend me some games? Oh, and I've had enough of Danmakufu and the sorts.

<Nietz> Anyway, sex toys alone won't come up to 11k.

Touhoumon Merry Version. I think the current version is called 1.8 but it's not fully translated yet. I think the one to get is 1.5

If you don't just want touhou-ish games, then I have a few touhou and non-touhou ones you might like.

  • Desktop Dungeons, a coffee break roguelike that's more like a puzzler, Total Biscuit did a review of it that aptly sums it up, find the review here.
  • New Super Marisa Land, a nice little platformer that far outstrips the original Super Marisa Land.
  • Warning Forever, a near-endless boss rush shmup, only the shmup-crazy need apply for the long haul. My record is Stage 17, Raocow did a few videos of him playing it, he did better than me, around 22+.

Oh man, I like this topic. I'm going to follow Kinzo's lead and avoid recommending Touhou doujins, or games you may have heard of. So let's see:

AirRade Air: Beautiful horizontal scrolling shooter.

Assault Cube: free FPS that can be played offline or online, on any operating system. Loads of dumb fun.

Braid: You must, must, must play this game. Completely redefines what platformers are all about.

Crescent Pale Mist: Odd little game that mixes fighting, platforming, and danmaku.

eXceed3rd Jade Penetrate Black Package: Awesome shmup with great music, great voice acting, and bosses who laugh at you as you fight them. Heavy emphasis on streaming.

Engage To Jabberwock: Combines puzzle gaming, dungeon crawling, and danmaku.

Penumbra Black Plague: Scary as shit horror survival game that really tests your powers of logic.

Trouble Witches: Gloriously animated horizontal-scrolling shooter.

I'll just rephrase the question. I NEED MOAR TOUHOU DOUJIN GAMES. RAWR. They have to be well-made too :D.

Although why you're limiting yourself to games that only use Touhou characters is beyond me.

I guess you could always go with Megamari if you don't mind stage and boss design that makes the stuff of Megaman X6 Extreme look well made.
Its a fairly decent game if you are cool with the notion of weapon-usage, hit-tanking and reliance on luck. It also has a pretty good OST.

Koumajou Densetsu is also something worth checking out. Those games have excellent music and art style. I suppose the drawback is your characters hitbox suddenly shrinkes whenever you are flying and that the games expect you to take advantage of that. You might find that to be an interesting kind of challenge or you could be one of those people who don't like games that incorpate inconsistent hitboxes and quirky controls and try to pass that off as a challenge.

Despite my ranting though, Its something I recommend checking out. I don't deal out recommendations about games to people without telling them about the other side of the coin though. Speaking of Touhou and Castlevania, where the hell is my SoTN clone? Or rather CoTM clone as it would probably be. I guess its hiding somewhere together with Megamari X.

I've heard Genius of Sappherios (or however it's spelled) is really good, but I don't think there's an English patch available, so that may be an issue for you being that it's an RPG and all.
