Azure Reflections is a bullet hell game developed by Souvenir Circ., a doujin game circle consisting of solo developer Azurezero. It was released in 2018 for PC and is heavily inspired by the popular Touhou Project series of games.
Gameplay
Like other bullet hell games, Azure Reflections challenges players to navigate through intricate patterns of bullets while avoiding collisions with enemies and other obstacles. The game features three playable characters with unique abilities and play styles, as well as six stages with multiple difficulties.
One of the standout mechanics in Azure Reflections is the “Reflect Barrier”. This ability allows players to reflect bullets back at enemies, adding an extra layer of strategy to the gameplay. Players can also collect power-ups to increase their firepower and unlock spell cards, powerful attacks that can clear the screen of bullets.
Story
The game follows the story of a shrine maiden named Reimu Hakurei, who must team up with the powerful magician Marisa Kirisame to investigate a mysterious incident that has occurred in Gensokyo, the fictional world in which the Touhou Project is set.
As they journey through the stages, they will encounter familiar characters from the Touhou series such as Remilia Scarlet, Flandre Scarlet, and Sakuya Izayoi. Each stage also has its own boss, each with their own unique bullet patterns and spell cards.
Visuals and Sound
Azure Reflections features beautiful and colorful 2D graphics that are reminiscent of the Touhou series. The game also showcases detailed character designs and backgrounds, creating a visually appealing experience for players.
The sound design is also a standout feature of the game. The background music is composed by renowned Touhou music arrangers such as ZUN, beatMARIO, and C-CLAYS. The game also features full voice acting for all of the characters, adding an extra layer of immersion for players.
Reception and Legacy
Azure Reflections has received positive reviews from players and critics alike. It has been praised for its challenging gameplay, beautiful visuals, and faithful tribute to the Touhou series.
The game has also spawned a spin-off title, titled “Cirno’s Perfect Summer Vacation”, which features the popular character Cirno as the main protagonist. Additionally, Azure Reflections has been featured in various game conventions and tournaments, further cementing its place in the bullet hell genre.
In Conclusion
Azure Reflections is a must-play for fans of bullet hell games and the Touhou Project series. With its challenging gameplay, stunning visuals, and homage to the beloved franchise, it is a game that will provide hours of entertainment for players.
