    Despite accurately interpreting a respected franchise and having solid foundations for a fighting game, Touhou Kobuto V: Burst Battle delivers a slither of content that is not only disappointingly lacklustre. but also unwelcoming for newcomers and littered with inconsistencies and glitches that further hinder the quality of the experience. Local multiplayer is where this may redeem itself, but even that's stretching it for a retail game. For the price, it's not something I'd recommend.

This is not a "real" Touhou game however, but actually a fan game for PC that has merely gotten an official release on consoles, so it's not really a must have for Touhou fans but fans of the Touhou characters and of games like Virtual On might find some enjoyment in it for the budget price. The Switch version seems to suffer from an audio issue though where a crackling sound comes out of one speaker at some points and requires one to close and reset the software to get everything working back to normal. Overall, I'm not ashamed to say I actually am enjoying this title and I don't think it deserves some of the flack some reviewers have given it. It's a thirty dollar japanese indie game, and not a bad one i think. But I would recommend that players familiarize themselves a little more with the mainline touhou series a bit more before giving this game a whirl. And I can understand if one felt that it wasn't worth the full retail price asked for it.… Full Review »

It's extremely light on content, so it's kinda tough to actually recommend picking it up, but it's mildly entertaining if you don't want to think much. it's equal parts weird, silly and simple. Worth maybe $5 to waste an empty afternoon on.… Full Review »
