Respawning

Overall, Tohou Genso Rondo: Bullet Ballet is a fun, but repetitive, and sadly shallow bullet-hell battler, which aims to catch the eye of Touhou fans; if you're a fan that has yet to pick up the game, you're more than likely to love the combat, humour and visual style of the game – However, if you're an outsider looking into this game, I would wait for a sale or price drop before seeking this game – For fans, I'm sure the game is worth the £30 price tag alone, but for newcomers and people only hearing of the franchise now… I would have to say that the game isn't worth £30 for the amount of content provided. Given that, however, I can't help but find myself returning to the game over and over again; it's like a drug, hooking it's claws in - I don't think it's the greatest game ever, but I can't help but continue to come crawling back for more.
