by Team Shanghai Alice
Genres:Indie, Shooter
Themes:Action, Fantasy
Game modes:Single player
Story:This game features eight playable characters, with four starting preset teams of two and unlockable individual character modes. When playing with the character pairs, one character fires when unfocused, while the other switches in and fires when focused, with a reduction in movement speed. The two shot types can be drastically different. The individual characters, with the exception of Remilia and Youmu, do not change shot types while focusing/unfocusing. Imperishable Night features Last Spells. For the enemy, a Last Spell is a bonus Spell Card which the player can challenge without the option to use bombs and without the risk of losing lives. On the player side, Last Spells are secondary "bomb" Spell Cards, which last longer and do much more damage than normal bombs at the expense of two bomb stocks. Player Last Spells can only be used immediately after being hit, with a grace period of less than 1 second. Additionally, there is a "Time Orb" system which affects the story/score, as well as a gauge which tracks how human/youkai (normal/focused) you are and determines how you can collect more time orbs.Show more

The first three Touhou games in the Windows era , Touhou Koumakyou: The Embodiment of Scarlet Devil (2002), Touhou Youyoumu: Perfect Cherry Blossom (2003), Touhou Eiyashou: Imperishable Night (2004) are some of the most influential games from the Japanese doujin scene. They’ve become iconic in the danmaku shmup genre, and become the basis for thousands if not millions of fanworks from games, songs, illustrations, literature. They deserve to be preserved, and be more widely available. They’re an unforgettable, difficult, beautiful experience. I trust the GOG team will do these games justice.
