how hard is it to get into 2hu if you've never played a bullet hell?

It’ll kick your ass at first, that’s for sure. If you’ve never played a bullet hell, this kind of gameplay will be really foreign to you even if you’ve played other shooters. However, I started playing Touhou before I ever played a bullet hell and I’ve managed to stick with it since. It’s generally agreed upon to start with Touhou 6 (the Emboident of Scarlet Devil) since it’s the first Touhou game for Windows and lays the foundation for Touhou going forward. Then I would say just work your way up the list in numbered order and go play 1-5 for the PC-98 whenever you feel like it.

EoSD is special though because if you play on Easy, you can’t get to the final stage and the game abruptly stops you after the stage 5 boss. To beat the game you’ll have to play it on Normal. You do have three continues, three initial bombs (that refill upon death), and you can increase your starting life count up to 5 (I think you need to play the game a few times before you unlock more lives, but it’s been years since I first played that game that I can’t remember), so you do have a lot of tools to beat it. It’ll be frustrating at first but if you work at it and keep improving, you could do it in a day! I would recommend starting with Reimu since her homing shots allow you to focus on dodging while they chase enemies. Marisa has a steeper learning curve because her shots are more focused, but she’s faster and stronger. I use Marisa whenever I play a new Touhou game.

If you can beat EoSD on Easy, but not Normal, move onto Imperishable Night (Touhou 8) since it’s by far the easiest in the series. IN has two final bosses, a fake and a real one. In order to beat the real one, you have to beat the fake one with one team (there are 4 teams) and play the game as them again and try to die as little as possible. The game gives you way more continues than other ones, but it increases the time gauge which prevents you from progressing if it gets too high (getting to 5 AM is considering losing). The game also has an easy Extra Stage to unlock because you just have to clear it on Easy without continuing.

If this has given you the drive to try it out then good luck! The games are really fun and improving your runs feels really good! They’re short games so they can be replayed many times over without being too time-consuming. If you want any resources to get you setup, I can help provide them.
