Touhou Fuujinroku: Mountain of Faith
Touhou Fuujinroku: Mountain of Faith is a fast-paced action shooter developed for Windows, offering two selectable characters, each with access to three distinct weapon configurations. Rather than using custom spell card bombs, the game introduces a system where players collect power items to summon up to four support satellites. These assistive units behave differently based on the character and chosen weapon, enhancing both standard and focused attack styles and providing additional strategic variation.
Gameplay Mechanics
One of the key mechanics in the game is the Faith gauge, which plays a central role in scoring. The meter builds as players defeat enemies and gather point items, which in turn increase the total Faith value. This value, starting at 50,000, determines the worth of collected items and spell card bonuses. Efficient management of this system is crucial for achieving high scores, adding a layer of risk-versus-reward decision-making throughout each stage.
Scoring and Strategy
Success in Mountain of Faith hinges on maintaining momentum—defeating foes quickly, staying active in item collection, and keeping the Faith value from decaying. The interplay between offensive firepower, satellite positioning, and score optimization makes for a compelling bullet-hell experience that challenges both reflexes and tactical thinking.
