* BribingYourWayToVictory: God Crystals. Although somewhat easily farmable through Errands, God Crystals are mainly obtained through spending actual money. God Crystals are used mainly for Prayers and to buy costumes; buying with God Crystals actively incentivised, providing players with guaranteed Units and giving Fortune Dust, which is the main currency used to obtain Rings of Fate and Divine Paper Dolls. A Ring of Fate is the only method of undergoing Fantasy Rebirth, which further strengthens units, and Divine Paper Dolls are the only way to uncap Units without a duplicate copy. Divine Paper Dolls can only otherwise be obtained through purchasing monthly or event packs, with a couple given out for free sparingly. Although you can obtain Fortune Dust through events, the amount you can receive is quite little compared to outright using God Crystals.

* AntiFrustrationFeatures: The game offers a "safety net" with its [[PremiumCurrency premium currency of choice, God Crystals]]. God Crystals can mainly be obtained through [[BribingYourWayToVictory real-life purchases]], first-time mission completion, or time-sensitive errands.

* AntiFrustrationFeatures: The game isn't as [[BribingYourWayToVictory money hungry]] as most other gachas infamously are. Most of the in-game currency is made plentiful, meaning the player rarely ever needs to pay for anything in order to progress. The only currency that's of any scarcity is God Crystals, which are otherwise only available by completing certain errands that appear at random, and said errands only give a maximum of 2 God Crystals each time they're finished. Even then, God Crystals are not used for much outside of cosmetics or gacha rolls (with the only beneficial use for them being extra slots in the school and dojo). Coins are also pretty easy to run out of, but this is easily avoidable if the player spends them carefully and, again, are easily obtainable.

* WakeUpCallBoss: [[spoiler:Yukari]] at the close of Chapter 1. Whereas newcomers could thus far skate by with minimal obstacle, [[spoiler:Yukari]], for any party not purposefully bulked up, requires timely deployment of the game's combat options, chiefly Barriers and Spell Cards. [[ElementalRockPaperScissors Elemental advantages]] will also greatly benefit, for Friends such as Reisen.

* HeroicSacrifice: [[spoiler:Marisa lets Youmu cut her at the end of Chapter 3 Act 2, to buy time before the next Hour for Reimu and co. to defeat Okina.]]

* TheBattleDidntCount: In Chapter 3 Act 2, [[spoiler:you fight Matara Okina, who despite being defeated in terms of game mechanics twice in a row barely even flinches against the protagonist's and friends' assault.]]

* EnemyMine: The Extra scenario of Chapter 1 sends the protagonist to the moon, where it's revealed that the space folding incident has become so dire that Junko, a woman who tried to ''genocide'' the Lunarians, is working with the Watatsuki sisters to find a way to stop it.

* WhyDidItHaveToBeSnakes: In the Little Sister event, the Watatsuki sisters, two of the most powerful beings in the Touhou universe, get visibly uncomfortable around Star Sapphire, a fairy. If you've played ''LegacyOfLunaticKingdom'', you understand why.

* WakeUpCallBoss: [[spoiler:Yukari]] at the close of Chapter 1. Whereas newcomers could thus far skate by with minimal obstacle, [[spoiler:Yukari]], for any party not purposefully bulked up, requires timely deployment of the game's combat options, chiefly Barriers and Spell Cards. [[ElementalRockPaperScissors Elemental advantages]] will also greatly benefit, for Friends such as Reisen.

* FanservicePack: The girls tend to be quite a bit more attractive in this game than is usual seen in a Touhou fangame. To name but a few examples, Reimu is often clad in outfits that show a ''lot'' of midriff, Kasen's art shows a generous helping of her legs, Patchouli and Yorihime's art shows quite a bit of focus on their posteriors, and some of the more mature characters, in particular Yukari, Kanako, and Byakuren, are quite well endowed.

* LaserGuidedAmnesia: In chapter 1, [[spoiler:the Lost Word of the chapter, Hakurei, causes the heroes to forget the word upon entering the corrupted AlternateUniverse, and as a result end up forgetting Reimu's surname, including herself. Remembering it becomes crucial to resolving the incident, and luckily, the outsider's self-recording journal has a form of RippleEffectProofMemory and retains said surname.]]

* ColorCodedForYourConvenience: Each {{Mook|s}}'s hair color indicates the essence it is associated with: [[FireIsRed red for fire]], orange for star, yellow for metal, green for wood, [[WaterIsBlue blue for water]], purple for moon, brown for earth, white for sun, and black for non-elemental.

A [[TurnBasedCombat turn-based]] Franchise/TouhouProject gacha RPG for smartphones that launched in 2020 in Japan before a global release on 11 May 2021. It follows a player-named girl, ostensibly from the Outside World, who unexpectedly finds herself inside Gensokyo, carrying a journal which only she can open and read. Upon meeting a handful of the main cast, it becomes apparent that her abrupt appearance is linked to the phenomenon of Seal Crystals popping up all around the region...and thus begins a new, [[TheMultiverse cross-dimensional]] incident.

* HeroicMime: The noncombatant player character. Note that her input name differs from the player's account nickname, yet both will be chosen and can be customized later.

* PlayEveryDay: As expected of a gacha. Apart from login rewards, daily tasks, and weekly checklists, the game's repeatable Errands (a near-copy of commissions from, once again, ''VideoGame/AzurLane'') serve as a rare [=F2P=] source of the game's two summoning currencies, Seal Crystals and God Crystals, with the latter's status as costly premium currency making them specifically vital to those interested in acquiring costumes or rolling guaranteed Friend ten-packs.
