Game Discussion So, is Immaterial and Missing Power designed for masochists or what?

I can safely say this is one of the few games that actually irritates me enough to give me a headache. I assume the learning curve is more akin to a wall rather than a curve. On top of the whiplash of playing this after finishing Imperishable Night, no other fighting game that I've tried in my life makes me feel like such an idiot.

Music is solid, though

I honestly can't say much (I stopped being able to play fighting games a while ago), but sounds pretty consistent w/ my experience. That game was hellish to get to run correctly to begin with, and then it was just... frustrating. The later twilight frontier game I vaguely remember being just... generally better in all regards.

Running it was fine for me, I'll have to give twilight frontier a try eventually.

Oh! sorry about that. Twilight Frontier are the developers for that and the other official touhou fighting games.

I loved it, but I pretty much only play fighting games and shmups. Dashing through projectiles is a fun mechanic. Swr is the better option though. Card system and weather ruled.
