Touhou Makuka Sai ~ Fantastic Danmaku Festival part II is a danmaku shooting game, which is the second part of Touhou Makuka Sai. The repeat of incident is coming again. Can the girls going to the netherworld solve the mystery?
The game features a modified version of the border system from Touhou 7: Perfect Cherry Blossom. Players can extend periods of temporary invincibility by grazing bullets and collecting pick-ups. This border mechanic serves as a core game mechanic, rewarding skilled play with additional lives and bombs.
Reviewers praise the game's creative and visually stunning bullet patterns that depart from the more traditional Touhou designs. For example, the "Alice in Bulletland" themed stage challenges players with a three-act play of intricate danmaku, while Lily White's sugar-themed attacks require quick reflexes and multitasking. The final boss's festival-inspired bullet hell further showcases the developers' ability to craft unique, memorable encounters.
The game also introduces novel enemy types, such as the narcoleptic owl spirit Hyp, who tests players with his sleepy and unpredictable attacks. These new mechanics contribute to the game's sense of freshness compared to the mainline Touhou titles.
Reviewers commend the well-designed difficulty curve, which caters to both newcomers and veteran players. The easy difficulty is described as genuinely accessible, with generous resources and a forgiving border system that allows players to practice and learn the game's mechanics. Meanwhile, the higher difficulty settings, such as normal and hard, provide a satisfying challenge for skilled players without feeling unfairly difficult. The inclusion of a practice mode, which enables players to focus on mastering specific spellcard encounters, is highlighted as a valuable feature for improving one's skills.
