Players feel satisfied by overcoming the game's challenges, such as beating the game, clearing difficult stages, or achieving 1cc runs. This emotion is also driven by the game's overall quality, including its fun gameplay, engaging lore, excellent soundtrack, and successful implementation of features like Steam Deck compatibility and save data migration. Supporting the developer and the game's depth further contribute to this positive feeling.
Frustration stems primarily from the game's high difficulty, particularly in later stages and against challenging AI opponents who exhibit unfair dodging or random spell cards. Technical issues like initial low framerates, controller recognition problems, and choppy online performance also contribute to this emotion. Specific characters or mechanics that hinder progress, such as Eiki's extreme difficulty or repetitive spellcard countering, are additional sources of frustration.
Disappointment arises from unmet expectations, such as the absence of beloved characters like Mima or the lack of Chinese localization. Issues with online features, including non-functional remote play, matchmaking problems, and perceived unreliability of Steam netplay, are significant causes. Players also express disappointment with the solo play experience due to AI imbalance, input lag, or a perceived lack of modern compatibility and controller support.
Excitement is generated by the game's multiplayer potential, especially the ability to play with friends via Remote Play Together and the overall fun and intense competitive aspects. The game's release on Steam, its unique style, and high quality also contribute to this emotion. Fans of the Touhou Project express excitement for new features, challenging gameplay, and the prospect of future games in a similar style.
Joy is experienced through the game's overall fun and competitive nature, particularly when playing with friends. Players find joy in the engaging gameplay, well-designed characters, and captivating music. Making a legitimate purchase of the game and considering it one of the best in the series also contribute to a sense of happiness and enjoyment.
