Hi. Nice to see this thread even if it's not active anymore.

beat New World today

it felt like Touhou x Ys

loved the gameplay and especially soundtrack although the story was a bif confused the visuals during battles weren't always the best (camera is too far away from the player and the enemies are so tiny sometimes, it's easy to oversee them)

otherwise it made tons of fun

yet have to beat postgame and starting second story

overall despite a few flaws my second most favourite Touhou spinoff after Luna Nights

(maybe Gensou Wanderer might top it, but I'm daunted to play it due to its length (people said it can be 100 h long)

 

leaving a little soundtrack impression:

I beat first story of Scarlet Curiosity.

Whilst both games share muziek and graphics, there are few differences compared to New World:

1. less dungeons, so shorter
2. no optional quests
3. no forging
4. no manual upgrade of stats
5. healing is less flexible, it's limited by being forced to break vases
6. it has a SP system, SP can be obtained by killing enemies and breaking vases, so using skills is limited and depend on SP, in New World skill regenerate after a certain amount of time
7. no guarding and counterattacks which made the close combat a lot harder for me, it's possible to combo the enemy so hard that they can't counterattack, but if attacking at the wrong time, it's also easy to be punished very hard

New World is pretty much the fixed version of Scarlet Curiosity, but I still enjoyed SC.

oc not as goede as NW, but having at least one rather exotic playable character in case of Remilia, it's cool!
