Instead of the typical vertical orientation, Azure Reflections presents the Touhou bullet hell gameplay from a side-scrolling perspective. This unique twist challenges players to navigate waves of incoming bullets from the left and right, creating a fresh experience distinct from the mainline Touhou titles.

❤ Mastering the Danmaku Rush

A key mechanic, the Danmaku Rush, allows players to temporarily absorb and destroy enemy bullets. Reviewers praise mastering the timing and usage of this ability as essential for clearing the game's more demanding bullet hell patterns, as it provides a valuable defensive and offensive tool to create openings.

❤ Customizable Accessories

Players can equip a variety of accessories for their chosen character, providing various stat boosts and abilities. Reviewers note that this deep customization system adds significant replayability, as players experiment with different accessory combinations to optimize their performance and playstyle.

❤ Scalable Difficulty

The game offers multiple difficulty levels, from an accessible easy mode for newcomers to a challenging Lunatic mode for experienced shmup players. Reviewers appreciate this range, as it allows players of all skill levels to enjoy the game and gradually improve their bullet hell skills, with higher difficulties unlocking new and more complex boss attack patterns.

Azure Reflections features three distinct playable characters - Reimu, Marisa, and Cirno - each with their own unique shot types and playstyles. Reviewers highlight how this variety ensures that players can find a character that suits their preferred approach to the game's bullet hell challenges, adding to the title's replayability.
