Author Topic: Looking for a good non-zun Touhou game suggestion (Read 14609 times)

Ghaleon · « **on:** November 24, 2009, 10:01:01 AM »

Read title. Tried Mystical chain already, loved it. I would prefer it to NOT be:
1: shooter (I'll stick to Zun for that..for now, after that there is oodles of danfumaku or whatever it is content that I'm already aware of)
2: fighting (2d or 3d)
3: platformer, just not in the mood atm. When I am I'll try I wanna be the shrinemaiden and super marissa world
4: something with no translation that is almost impossible to play without. If its doable, I don't care

I hear alot of people like Touhou soccer. I guess I should try it, problem is I don't like soccer. I realize that this game probably has very little in common with most soccer games though..So if everyone mentions this one I'll try it I guess.

I'd really like an RPG if possible (probably impossible to have one translated though), mostly because it might help my brother get hooked on Touhou. He only plays "real games" (you know what I mean), and RPGs.

I realize I might have narrowed it down to zero. Just asking in case I'm wrong >=P. I kinda want a Touhou game specifically despite my steep requirements because I want a fun way to familiarize myself with the cast more without resorting to reading manga or watching anime or whatever.

Touhoumon? (touhou puppet play) that's an RPG I think.

He like Pokemon? He like getting his ass kicked? Touhoumon.

So "real games" and RPG's are two different things or...?

No, but his definition for "real game" is more lenient for rpgs.

Quadruple Fantasy Sword: Tenshi's Counterattack

Tactics-style RPG. There's a spreadsheet with everything you'd ever want to know about the game translated into English (EXCEPT THE DIALOGUE FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF), and the menus will take maybe an hour tops to get used to.

Five story modes too, but like I mentioned, moonrune dialogue.

The entire main game of Touhou Labyrinth is translated. It's really, really good. The translation isn't finished, but a partial patch can be gotten at Pooshlmer and applied that translates more than sufficient amounts for you to play that it should be completed by the time you reach it.... And yes, save files are easy to transfer

It's a dungeon crawler, but there's a startlingly huge amount of strategy (Due to a large party size that you can rotate around in battle), and a lot of characters to join (A total of 40). For a doujin RPG, it's... really really good.

There's hardly any videos up, but, Here's the fight with Chen on 1F

I'm enjoying the hell out of it

Ghaleon · « **Reply #8 on:** November 25, 2009, 05:56:18 AM »

Thanks guys. I'll try em all eventually. About Touhoumon though, I've never played a pokemon game before at all. Is it suggested that I try one just a bit to get the hang of it for Touhoumon (since a pokemon game will likely have much better instructions/documentaiton in English and such), or will it be easy enough to figure it out without that experience?

Verloren · « **Reply #9 on:** November 25, 2009, 07:40:30 AM »

Touhoumon's pretty easy to get used to if you're new should you go with the Aqua/Yui version me and Aquamentis are currently working on at Pooshlmer.

However, there are japanese high-difficulty games (And one english high-difficulty one I'm going to release the moment I can edit the one last thing I need to), that are for much more experienced players.

There's the newest A/Y version. There should be a new one tomarrow, though, so I suggest keeping up on this thread.

I checked this out. So it's a GBA game then? Do you have any idea if I can download the rom onto my Gameboy DS R4 and play on there? I've never tried running a GBA game on my R4 before.

Helix ⑨ · « **Reply #11 on:** November 25, 2009, 11:41:08 AM »

TBH I wouldn't start touhoumon if you've never played pokemon before. In pokemon the 'types' (fire/psychic/fighting/ground etc.) are really obvious, but in touhoumon you sometimes don't understand shit about your enemy (partially because they sometimes use attacks from the main series such as master spark/fujiwara volcano) so it's a bit tougher to figure out the enemy's weakness. Also the levels of enemies seem higher in touhoumon.

You could play one of the normal pokemon games before trying, then it will be fine.

I don't really know, actually. I've never tried flash carts before.

That is true, however there's also a somewhat different type weakness table in Touhoumon. I believe Rock isn't weak to water in it for one such example. People who have played more pokemon than touhoumon are often confused by this.

Make sure to post here once you're done. I've been waiting for an English high difficulty version. Though starting something like that without playing the easier ones might not be a good idea, but that's not my style. I prefer picking the highest difficulty I can, though I make exceptions sometimes.

IIRC running GBA ROMs on DS usually requires a slot 2 (GBA slot) flash cart too. Though I haven't tried it myself either.

I'm attempting to release an edited Aqua/Yui one that is massively hard, but I ran into some trouble at the very end. So far, it's about 80% complete.

Touhoumon has it's own board now, by the way. It's here - http://www.amarilloviridian.co.cc/kareha/index.html

I personally would love to play the God Mode that is in the works right now. Getting killed at the start... who wouldn't want that?

That S-Marisa and S-Remillia are just plain broken.

Krusty · « **Reply #18 on:** November 29, 2009, 02:53:53 AM »

Any Touhou games of the visual novel variety?

Sen · « **Reply #19 on:** November 29, 2009, 03:28:12 AM »

Well, there's Wrigglui, which has absolutely beautiful artwork, but no English patch, so you're kinda missing out on the whole "novel" part.

Krusty · « **Reply #20 on:** November 29, 2009, 03:34:36 AM »

Damn. Hopefully it gets a patch soon. Thanks.

RainfallYoshi · « **Reply #21 on:** November 29, 2009, 06:55:13 AM »

This is so freaking irritating.

You need to run Labyrinth in Japanese setting too. I think the 2.04 actual link is further down in the poosh thread.

The english patch, Just run replace with the full update in the thread.

Also the game is pure evil.

Esoterica · « **Reply #23 on:** November 29, 2009, 07:02:38 AM »

I'm getting the impression Touhou Labyrinth is like a Touhou equivalent of Etrian Odyssey with a massive party. Is this an accurate assumption?

RainfallYoshi · « **Reply #24 on:** November 29, 2009, 07:13:32 AM »

The link on the poosh thread is broken. I even went to the main site that someone pointed to further down and the link to it there is also broken.

I haven't been able to find any other downloads so I'm kind of stuck right now. *sigh*

You're welcome.

Also, if the game crashes a few seconds after startup, you need a font. The poolshlmer thread has it.

Install order is...
*Copy Plus Disk files (Including image2 and music2, etc) onto the main game files, including overwrites
*Copy 2.04 patch files into that. Do overwrite.
*Unzip the english patch to the folder and run replace.bat, after getting all the files

...At a point soon, there will just be a prepatched executable and stuff to extract, as the patch is basically finished.

More or less. It's not directly Etrian Odyssey (The creator's site teased at them making an -actual- Touhou EO), but a dungeon crawler, so still fairly accurate.

Garlyle I love you so much right now. Seriously. <3

I really appreciate the upload. I can finally get around to playing this epicness. <3

~~EDIT: Why is all the introduction dialogue still in Japanese? @_@~~
EDIT: Looks like "status.txt" was accidentally left out of the english patch zip. Got it and the patch is successful. Woot woot.

No problem, ha ha.

If you ever run into any problems or questions or anything, just ask and I'll help you out. I'm about halfway through the main game at this point @_@

I just got to Floor 2. Chen and Hong were bitchy bosses at first but I got through them finally. They're both great to have on my party. Chen is wtfspeedy and her 20 SP row attack is lovely. Hong's high HP and def is great to have around too.

I accidentally ran into one of Wriggle's super bugs and got pwned though. =(
