by Team Shanghai Alice
Genres:Adventure, Indie, Shooter, Arcade
Themes:Action, Fantasy
Game modes:Single player
Story:Embodiment of Scarlet Devil features two playable characters to choose from, with two Spell Card types each. Reimu Hakurei can cover a wide area of the screen with weaker attacks, while Marisa Kirisame relies on her speed and power to make up for her thinner attack spread. The bombs show different behavior and damage depending on the character and type chosen. Unlike its predecessor, Mystic Square, Embodiment of Scarlet Devil comes with an "automatic item collection" feature, which allows you to collect all items on the screen by moving to the top of the screen if you are at full power, as well as a counter-bomb system, which allows you to avoid a fatal hit by using a bomb immediately. Though there are six total stages in the main game, playing on Easy will end the game after Stage 5.Show more

The first three Touhou games in the Windows era , Touhou Koumakyou: The Embodiment of Scarlet Devil (2002), Touhou Youyoumu: Perfect Cherry Blossom (2003), Touhou Eiyashou: Imperishable Night (2004) are some of the most influential games from the Japanese doujin scene. They’ve become iconic in the danmaku shmup genre, and become the basis for thousands if not millions of fanworks from games, songs, illustrations, literature. They deserve to be preserved, and be more widely available. They’re an unforgettable, difficult, beautiful experience. I trust the GOG team will do these games justice.

The first Touhou danmaku related game I played 7 months ago. It was my introduction to the touhou characters after playing Hisoutensoku and it is totally worth it. Took me 2 weeks to 1CC this game lol
This is the first game for Windows. It is a mankind treasure. Not only that, but this game is also the best game in the mainline Touhou game. Anyone who would like to start playing bullet hell games should come to play this.
Those games also need your vote!

Jade Cocoon 2
Jade Cocoon 2Presenting a combination of monster breeding and RPG elements, Jade Cocoon 2 expands upon Genki's original title in a number of significant ways. Gameplay comprises a familiar mix of storytelling and monster raising, with significant tweaks implemented for good measure. The town acts as your base of operations and it's here you can stock up on supplies, or take jobs for which you can earn money and build a reputation. The latter proves vital as it's directly related to the number of monsters you can use in battle. The successful completion of certain tests rewards you with the ability to command more beasts -- up to a maximum of 12 at once, however, you can only take these tests when your reputation is high enough. These trials take place in the Arena, which is also home to Beast Hunter battles, where you can test your mettle against fellow Beast Hunters. Monster eggs are found on your travels and can be hatched in the Room of Life; an all-encompassing monster management room that provides detailed information on the beasts and allows you to merge them, creating hybrid creatures. The monsters now also evolve over time. Your amulet consists of 12 slots, three for each of the four elements. Your creatures are placed in positions on the amulet corresponding to their position in battle, and during combat they'll attack the enemy and defend you from harm. Their amulet position also dictates the effectiveness of their elemental powers. The storyline starts 100 years after the original adventure, with the Cocoon Masters having become the stuff of myth and legend. Beast Hunters are the modern equivalent, and players take on the role of Kahu; an aspirant Beast Hunter. A chance encounter results in Kahu being cursed, and he, along with a fairy named Nico, must rid his body of the curse or die. Levant (the original title's protagonist) is now a guardian and acts as your guide.
