YMMV / Yousei Daisensou ~ Touhou Sangetsusei

• Broken Base:
  • Some fans like this game for its ice mechanic, thinking it's a fun and interesting spin on the danmaku genre and gives the game a lot of personality. Others find the ice mechanic unwieldy and uncomfortable, and/or feel it takes away too much from basic danmaku gameplay.
  • Having to complete all six routes to unlock the Extra Stage helps avoid players feeling like they don't get enough playtime out of the game, and many fans are okay with this as it encourages you to polish your skills before you try your hand at the Extra Stage, but others feel like going through all routes gets exhausting or boring and starts to make the game feel a bit padded out.
• It Was His Sled: Many people learn that Marisa is the Extra Boss long before they even touch this game.
• More Popular Spin Off: This is a tie-in game to the Touhou Sangetsusei manga, but many more fans have played and are familiar with this game than have read and are familiar with the manga. A few even mistakenly believe the Three Fairies of Light were introduced in this game, albeit those tend to be newer fans who don't take very long to find out about the manga's existence.
