All right, time to shoot!
I'm starting with
Touhou Koumakyou ~the Embodiment of Scarlet Devil~ - the sixth Touhou game but the first one for Windows and therefore the first one in most people's experience. The series occupies a strange place in that it's probably the most well-known series of bullet hell shooters, but it seems that most Touhou fans I've met barely care about the games and focus more on the characters/music.
The music is amazing and doujin covers of songs are ubiquitous in weeby circles. My favorites are
Chirumiru Cirno,
Kero ⑨ Destiny, and
Marisa Stole the Precious Thing.
But the on the other hand, the art is really ugly and amateurish. The gameplay never really blew me away but I feel like I've never given them the serious chance they deserve! So this month, I'm planning on playing at least the first three Windows games, since I'm crazed enough to own physical copies of those.
We'll see if I manage to beat those on normal difficulty! I'm definitely not aiming for 1CCing.
