Reminiscent of a fighting game, Touhou Genso Rondo: Bullet Ballet takes the traditional shoot-'em-up genre and infuses it with a 1v1 battle scenario, allowing for a unique gameplay experience.

Digitally DownloadedSep 20164.5/5 starsCalling Touhou Genso Rondo: Bullet Ballet accessible would be a joke in poor taste. Even so, there’s never been a better time in history for those upset with conservative shooters to set aside all preconceived notions and just experiment. Touhou deserves to be praised equally as a bullet hell and a fighter, performing like almost nothing else on the market. This, ladies and gentlemen, is bullet heaven.

DualShockersAzario LopezAug 20168/10Touhou Genso Rondo: Bullet Ballet is a great introduction to the Touhou universe and an excellent way to spend time playing with friends. The simple controls make it easy for new players to pick up and have a good time, but it also caters to the more hardcore fanbase by adding a deep learning curve to each character. Don’t let the fact that this is a fan-made game make you think it’s lacking in content. Genso Rondo makes it’s mark on the Touhou universe. While paying homage to the official works that came before it, the game provides a new and exciting approach to the fighting game genre.

PS4Blog.netOct 20168/10The game includes a Platinum trophy, and a full run requires playing through with all available characters in the Campaign and Arcade modes. As expected, there are also some online trophies thrown in the mix to keep you busy. Playing this game for my Touhou Genso Rondo: Bullet Ballet review was certainly a nice change of pace from the other games I’ve been reviewing lately, and I highly recommend that you give it a go.

We Got This CoveredKen BarnesAug 20161.5/5 starsA few players will absolutely adore Genso Rondo, of that there’s no doubt. For most though, this is an interesting concept that falls short on quality.

PlayStation LifeStyleTyler TreeseAug 20163.5/10Besides the core concept being interesting, I really don’t have any other compliments to give Touhou Genso Rondo: Bullet Ballet. It’s a disappointment for a number of reasons, and it really sucks that a lot of North American gamers’ first experience with the Touhou series will be this bad spin-off. Hopefully one of the entries in the main series, or at least the PS4 fighting game, will come stateside and get this bad taste out of my mouth.
