Guys I need help

[TotalWeeb123]

Hi, Im new to the Touhou community, and I have NO IDEA WHAT IT'S ABOUT!!!

Hi, here's the short answer:

Touhou is a big video game series, mainly shoot-em-up bullet hells. They are made by one guy named Zun.

 

 

But that's unimportant lol. Here are main points you wanna know:

-VERY GOOD SOUNDTRACK! Zun has made hundreds of songs, and they are all very good. In fact, the whole point of making games was to spread his music!

-A HUGE variety of characters! They're all cute girls with special abilities, and I think there's over 200 unique characters

-EXTREMELY TALENTED COMMUNITY! Literally countless fanworks of touhou exist. Hundreds of remixes of just one theme, it blows your mind!

 

All of these points combine to let touhou spread everywhere online, and it seems like it got to you as well :)

So, join in on the fun and enjoy what the community has to offer!

If you're a bit lost, here are some ways to get started:

-You could always download the original games here, but they are a bit difficult (if you want to play a game, try touhou 6).

-You could easily search up "touhou [genre you like]" and learn more about the songs that you liked (I did this for a while).

-You could watch touhou videos, whether that be memes or character introductions or whatever.

-You could ask questions about touhou here or some other forum.

...Or all of those at once!

 

 

PS: To the proffessional touhou fans out there, please correct me or expand points that I missed

I generally don't feel like starting with Touhou 6 is a really good idea for newcomers. Touhou 6 is one of the harder games in the Touhou series and could be a little overwhelming for newcomers. I think that Touhou 7, 8 or 4 would be better choices to get started with the Touhou games, as they are easier (especially Touhou 8 which is regarded as the easiest game in the first windows era), they also felt more player friendly for me.

I'm not saying  you can't start with Touhou 6, I'm just saying that it's not really the best idea for newcomers that don't really know what they are getting into.
