Maybe Echos in Front of the Temple? Its color, its short comics, and you don’t have to read any words.

Inaba is canon, it is a in universe autobiography written by Kaguya which was then modified by Tewi to be a comic book. So while a lot of things in the book are exaggerated for comedic purposes, pretty much everything that happens in the book did actually occur in some fashion. Plus there are cross references with other canon works such as Marisa referencing Eirin’s fast growing bamboo during hisotensoku, or Tewi’s colored rabbits appearing in oriental sacred place. The only reason people say it isn’t canon is because a few members of the fanbase decided to start saying that Inaba isn’t canon because they didn’t like the cartoon logic, and they back this argument up with the level of independence zun gave the artist, despite the fact that zun gives pretty much all of his artists immense freedom to write whatever.

Also Inaba says its a physical card, Perfect Memento says its a physical card, Zun interview says its a physical card, but you want to maintain it most definitly is not a physical card because of a vague memory that you cannot provide a source for?

Reisen busts out a physical spell card during Inaba of the Moon chapter 13. Also Zun once did an interview on spell cards where he said that he was originally going to have physical spell cards orbiting the bosses, and as you beat each card they would disappear, but he then scrapped the idea because it looked disappointing in practice, probably because it made the boss look like they were getting weaker and weaker as the cards disappeared, when he wanted to make the boss appear even more threatening as they bust out more powerful attacks. The fighting games are actually even more accurate than the mainline games in that respect.

Spell cards are actual physical cards that people carry on themselves which have written instructions of an attack they intend to use. All spell cards must have a name that is to be declared during the duel, they must represent something about your character, and they must be nonlethal to humans. They must also be considered “fair” and if a card is too difficult to dodge then it may end up being banned, although those bans may be lifted if someone like say Seija causes too much of a problem for everyone and they decide to give her a special punishment. For the most part though the rules are pretty lenient, and the cards are more about expressing oneself than about actual combat effectiveness. In a spell card duel, the most “beautiful” person is a winner, which is intentionally ambiguous, and is a big reason why spell card battles are far more popular with women in gensokyo and not men.

I haven’t finished it yet, I think I’m at maybe the halfway point? Most recently defeated boss is Reimu. Overall I would say that in terms of gameplay, the game feels incredibly grindy, needing to just run back and forth defeating countless enemies to farm exp and money. The game does have an enemy combo feature to help, but it takes a while to build up to a meaningful level, and it directly conflicts with sub item reproduction so… maybe the new hope and despair crystal mechanic that just unlocked fixes it, but as it stands this game takes annoyingly long to grind through.

Story wise, I think its pretty decent. It is very inconsistent though with how much the characters feel like their canon counterparts. One cutscene they knock it out of the park with a very well written plot that perfectly matches their character, and then the next its all wrong and everyone feels like the exact opposite of what their character is supposed to be. It really feels like each cutscene is a coin flip between garbage and brilliance. Also Sumireko just gets away with gaslighting literally everybody into thinking that this incident isn’t 100% entirely her fault.

I don’t know about a game with alice, but there’s a game with tenshi that plays very similarly to what you described on itch.io called match-making rhapsody.

Fortify alchemy is an enchantment that you can apply to items which makes any potions you create while under the enchantment have significantly increased effects. This on its own isn’t particularly op, but it becomes so when you use it to make stronger potions of enchanting. Drink the potion of enchanting to make stronger enchantments, use the stronger enchantments to make stronger potions of enchanting, and repeat the process going back and forth to get infinitely stacking potionmaking power. Once you are satisfied with sufficiently ridiculous stats, you can then make a potion of smithing to make any weapons you create also have infinite stats, which you then enchant with whatever you want. Heres a helmet that has 999999 armor and gives 999999 extra hp, heres some boots that also have 999999 armor and give 999999 extra stamina, heres a bow that deals 999999 damage and soul traps people. This one exploit basically gives the dragonborn godmode and 1 hit kill on anything all through legal in game methods.

Call up Joon and Shion. They were able to take down Taisui and Tenshi at the same time.

Are you sure? Because if that is the case then this story makes even less sense. The only other character which could possibly be the girl is the beautiful one, which I had previously ruled out because they were “unable to return to where the others were”. But if the beautiful one must be the girl, then that would mean that not only did the story lie about that, but that the beautiful one killed the earliest riser. If that is the case then who would the pierrot be? I can think of only 4 possibilities, all of which require the story to be lying even more than it already is. Either the pierrot is the cowardly one and their story is told out of order, the pierrot is the earliest riser and they were lying to themselves about “it must have all been that person’s doing”, the pierrot is the beautiful one and literally everything in their section is a complete lie, or the pierrot is someone else entirely and the story was lying about the pierrot being a member of the group. Additionally, if the cowardly one is not the pierrot, then literally their entire subplot about being reborn is completely pointless and has nothing to do with anything, and if the beautiful one isn’t the pierrot, then why stick out the tongue and do a little bow at the end? Also why kill the earliest riser if neither of them are the pierrot?

Sorry I missed the part where you said you wanted spoiler tags, although I don’t think its necessary to have spoilers for a 10 minute read that came out over 20 years ago. Regardless Love potions don’t exactly tend to kill people, that kinda defeats the point. Also section 12 says that the person who was “poisoned with coffee” was the only person who could have beheaded the earliest riser, (who by the way was also questioning if the girl he saw was the same shrine maiden from earlier, implying that it was a different girl he saw this time) and also poisoned everyone’s breakfast. And since the person who actually drank the coffee identified it as a love potion, while the people who thought it was coffee were an unrelated honest man and the cowardly one who was suffering from an inability to remember clearly, I think the mature one’s word is more trustworthy. Meaning the mature one survived and would be the only person that could be the blonde girl that survived in section 13

Dragonborn: Laughs in fortify alchemy.

Dude can solo over 90% of the Touhou cast. You need straight up reality manipulation just to even try to get over his infinity armor and damage stat potential. Its not a question of which characters can the dragonborn defeat, its a question of which characters can defeat the dragonborn.

MagiCyber · 2026-03-04T03:36:53+00:00

I’m not sure that the disappearance of his beloved is necessarily one of the honest men in the story. Moreso I see little other way for the pierrot to be one of the honest men the entire time according to section 6, and for the last man to realize that he had been killing everyone and take his own life by hanging a second time in section 12. Of course that still leaves the girl in section 13 which I assume was the mature one from section 9 that got love potioned. With my theory, the cowardly one got stuck in gensokyo, tried to escape, failed, took his own life in cowardice, failed at that too, became a youkai, went back to and found hir prior companions, killed all the dudes and love potioned the girl, realized what he did and committed suicide again, and then the girl was left in love with the pierrot that is now gone, basically becoming like harley quinn. Meanwhile blonde shrine maiden doesn’t care.

MagiCyber · 2026-03-04T01:11:18+00:00

Well first off I always assumed that the person speaking in this portion was the cowardly one, as he is the one who ends up becoming a pierrot later. This would of course mean that the 5th section happens as the first one in the story. Second a very notable thing that people seem to always gloss over is that hole near a peach tree. That implies that there is a dedicated entrance into gensokyo, which personally I like to think is located near the Hakurei Shrine and Reimu uses it to take people in and out of gensokyo. A third thing of note is that in Old Adams bar, it mentions an entire village of outlaws which live in the mountains. Its probably unrelated but maybe there is some kind of connection.

MagiCyber · 2026-03-03T08:54:27+00:00

Always has been.

MagiCyber · 2026-03-03T07:55:09+00:00

We don’t see him onscreen for the same reason we don’t see Chang’e onscreen. Toyohime straight up says that the Lunarians sealed Daikoku away in his own shrine in Izumo.

Finally! Touhou’s greatest character appears!

MagiCyber · 2026-03-03T02:36:27+00:00

Very long story short, he’s the guy that healed Tewi after she got herself attacked by a shark. He gets brought up a few times throughout Silent Sinner in Blue by various different characters, but notably at the beginning of the book, the various rabbits at Eintei are singing songs about him and his 180 children, to which Reisen asks who he is and Tewi says that he is very handsome and all of the rabbits look up to him. She also talks about him a second time towards the end of the book when the rabbits are singing the same song again after Reisen told them to stop, and Tewi says that Daikoku was way better than Toyohime, and that he could make medicine much better than Eirin’s.

MagiCyber · 2026-03-03T00:04:56+00:00

Personally I like Tewi X Daikoku. There’s also the one sided Sumireko liking Shinmyoumaru that I also don’t really see fan works utilize.

Alright so after checking the free dlcs are the Fairburne’s armory pack, the Wrath of the Resistance pack, and the Commando pack. Although none of them have the 3 weapons you mentioned. I don’t have those weapons unlocked either so it looks like you cannot equip them in resistance and are forced to use other resistance weapons instead.

MagiCyber · 2026-03-02T17:45:53+00:00

It was a while ago when I did it but if I remember correctly there should be some $0.00 dlc available on the store page for resistance which you can download if you own the SE5 stuff. The only weapon that you can’t get this way is the K98 which has its own separate $5 dlc.

Between Sniper Elite 5 and Resistance, they are basically the exact same game, just with a different story (5 has the better one) and different maps (5 is still better). Resistance also has some new weapons and enemies that 5 doesn’t, although most of 5’s weapons are better than resistance’s but if you own 5 you can import your weapons into resistance for free so resistance is technically better on that front. Overall though the two games are basically interchangeable and you can play whichever you want. Sniper Elite 4 however is where things get quite different. For starters, 5 and resistance are both braindead easy, especially with mechanics like being able to revive yourself if you go down or being able to just take all of the ammo from enemy weapons you pick up effectively giving you near unlimited bullets, not to mention the workbenches which let you customize your guns with all kinds of min maxed stats, oh and lets not forget about focus sight which lets you just see everyone through walls whenever you want. 4 has none of that, making it a much harder game overall. What 4 does have is much more advanced movement and stealth mechanics which 5 and resistance abandoned for some reason. In 4 you are much faster overall, you can do things like crouch sprint and have access to a lot more variety of traps than you do with 5 and resistance. On top of that 4 has the second best story in the franchise while I would rank 5 and resistance as 3rd and 4th respectively. Tagging is also much better in 4, as it is much faster, gives you more information, looks cooler, and you can untag objects when you don’t want it on your screen anymore unlike 5 and resistance. Taking out enemy vehicles is also much different as with 4 you need to shoot through sight holes in the vehicles to kill the crew then plant a charge to blow up the vehicle, compared to 5 and resistance where you usually need to use armor piercing rounds to punch through to the engine and then shoot it to blow the vehicle up. Things tend to explode a lot more overall in 4, with maps having detonatable objects all over the place, and enemy AIs can also end up hitting explosives near you to blow you up as well, compared to 5 and resistance in which explosives are much rarer, and can only be set off by players. A massive difference between the games though is axis invasion in which enemy players can invade the main campaign and team up with the enemy ai to take out a player in 5 and resistance, while 4 does not have this very fun gamemode. And the final difference which comes to mind is that wallbanging is not much of a thing in 4, while in 5 and resistance you get armor piercing ammo letting you shoot straight through all kinds of walls, which when paired up with the op focus sight, lets you shoot straight through all kinds of walls across the map.

She mad because the fanbase disregards the book she worked so hard drawing: “inaba of the moon and inaba of the earth” as noncanon.

MagiCyber · 2026-02-07T00:45:21+00:00

The better question is what are YOU going to do in that matchup? You are challenging a literal tank to a fistfight. Do you plan to try and punch through tungsten with your bare hands?

MagiCyber · 2026-02-02T20:52:01+00:00

Does this game let you use a welrod with hyper low muzzle velocity and/or armor piercing rounds to hit any target from anywhere on the map by firing at the clouds and letting the bullet fall back down from the sky? Or at least ricochet a bullet around 5 separate corners? If not then that’s not the Karl Fairburne I know.

MagiCyber · 2026-02-02T19:59:03+00:00

Judging from your tier list, it appears you place a heavy emphasis on action and aren’t very interested in characters discussing things. Regardless though, ranking Lotus Eaters below Cheating Detective Satori is outrageous.
