YMMV / Touhou Shinpiroku ~ Urban Legend in Limbo

Go To

  • Accidental Innuendo: Characters often call the Occult Balls "balls" for short hand. And given what connotations that word has in the western community... Yeah...
  • Genius Bonus: Kasen's default stance is the crane stance following in on her animal themed motif.
  • Good Bad Bugs: Byakuren can activate her "Brilliance of Mahavairocana" (normally a counter) spellcard by bouncing one of her vajras on her opponent. Twilight Frontier apparently knew of the bug and liked it so much they left it in.
  • Hilarious in Hindsight: Sumireko is a human from the outside world who managed to enter Gensokyo, and can now come and go through her dreams. Sounds like your standard Isekai plot, does it not? The same year the game came out, a light novel called In Another World with My Smartphone started its run; an Isekai where the main gimmick, as the name implies, is that the main character managed to bring his smartphone to the other world. And what's one of the things Sumireko brings with her to Gensokyo? Her smartphone.
  • Scrappy Mechanic: The Occult Ball system. They'll randomly appear in battles with one of seven random effects. Players then need to scramble through the battlefield to chase the ball around instead of actually fighting each other, because the ball is needed to perform each character's Occult Attacks. While this isn't a big deal for some characters, some other characters like Miko depend heavily on their Occult Attack to perform well in the fight. Also, although the six of the seven random effects of the balls appearing are pretty minor, the last one has the effect of slowing projectiles to a crawl, causing ranged battles to be all but impossible.
  • That One Attack: Has its own page with the rest of the series.
  • That One Boss: It shares a page with the franchise's other installments.
