Game Tangents | In Part 12 of the Touhou Retrospective, we get back to the basics with one shooter and one fighter. Ten Desires is another bullet hell shooter that has a supernatural theme about the afterlife; Hopeless Masquerade is a fighter with refined graphics that features the girls battling each other within the context of a religious war. Someone alert the PC police!!
Ten Desires was released at Comiket, the latest entry in the popular Touhou series. A 101, Touhou is a vertical bullet hell shooter known for its huge and largely-female cast, artistic bullet patterns, soundtrack, fandom, and being made largely by one man named Junya Ota, also called Zun.
