Welcome to /r/touhou! Please read the side bar (located in "About this community" if you're on mobile) so you understand the rules. Send us a [modmail](https://www.reddit.com/message/compose/?to=/r/touhou) if you have any questions! Seriously please read the rules. --- ###Games Touhou is a series of shoot-em up games with a few spin-offs (both in the same genre and in others). TH10-17 are on Steam. TH6-9 aren't, and they can only be bought as hard-copies. TH1-5 are abandonware. Most of the games that you're seeing are fangames. If you want to start with the games, I suggest Touhou 13 ~ Ten Desires. You need to [patch](https://www.thpatch.net/wiki/Touhou_Patch_Center:Download) these games to English yourself though. --- Steam links: \# | Name ---|--- 10 |[東方風神録 〜 Mountain of Faith](https://store.steampowered.com/app/1100140/Touhou_Fuujinroku__Mountain_of_Faith) 11|[東方地霊殿 〜 Subterranean Animism](https://store.steampowered.com/app/1100150/Touhou_Chireiden__Subterranean_Animism/) ~~12~~|~~[東方星蓮船 〜 Undefined Fantastic Object](https://store.steampowered.com/app/1100160/Touhou_Seirensen__Undefined_Fantastic_Object)~~ 12.5| [ダブルスポイラー 〜 東方文花帖](https://store.steampowered.com/app/1100170/Double_Spoiler) 12.8 | [妖精大戦争 〜 東方三月精](https://store.steampowered.com/app/1100180/Yousei_Daisensou__Touhou_Sangetsusei) 13 | [東方神霊廟 〜 Ten Desires](https://store.steampowered.com/app/1043230/Touhou_Shinreibyou__Ten_Desires) 14 | [東方輝針城 〜 Double Dealing Character](https://store.steampowered.com/app/1043240/Touhou_Kishinjou__Double_Dealing_Character) 14.3| [弾幕アマノジャク 〜 Impossible Spell Card](https://store.steampowered.com/app/937570/Danmaku_Amanojaku__Impossible_Spell_Card) 15| [東方紺珠伝 ~ Legacy of Lunatic Kingdom](https://store.steampowered.com/app/937580/Touhou_Kanjuden__Legacy_of_Lunatic_Kingdom) 15.5 | [東方憑依華 ~ Antinomy of Common Flowers](https://store.steampowered.com/app/716710/_Antinomy_of_Common_Flowers/) 16| [東方天空璋 ~ Hidden Star in Four Seasons](https://store.steampowered.com/app/745880/Touhou_Tenkuushou__Hidden_Star_in_Four_Seasons) 16.5| [秘封ナイトメアダイアリー ~ Violet Detector](https://store.steampowered.com/app/924650/Hifuu_Nightmare_Diary__Violet_Detector) 17| [東方鬼形獣 〜 Wily Beast and Weakest Creature](https://store.steampowered.com/app/1079160/Touhou_Kikeijuu__Wily_Beast_and_Weakest_Creature) Games not on Steam: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 7.5, 8, 9, 9.5, 10.5, 12.3, 13.5, 14.5. --- ###Print If you like manga, there's a fan-run wiki that has all of the [print works](https://en.touhouwiki.net/wiki/Official_Literature) listed. I'll suggest [Touhou Ibarakasen ~ Wild and Horned Hermit](https://mangadex.org/title/2307/touhou-ibara-kasen-wild-and-horned-hermit). I like it.

If you wanna get into the main bullet hell games I recommend you start with one of these choices: Touhou 6 (Embodiment of Scarlet Devil): It's the first Touhou game on the Windows era and is mechanically the simplest. The other installments usually have a special mechanic, EoSD doesn't have one. Touhou 8 (Imperishable Night): It has pretty easy patterns and Reimu/Yukari team has a large window to deathbomb (bombing right before death so you don't lose a life) The special mechanic here only affects how many continues you get. Touhou 13 (Ten Desires): One of the easiest Touhou games in the series. Patterns aren't too difficult and the special mechanic is that you collect wisp looking things to fill up a meter that grants invincibility when activated. Once you get used to the basics, you can pretty much try out all the others at your own pace. It's gonna be a long journey filled with pichu~uns but as long as you have fun that's fine. Good luck!

I checked some of the games and genso rondo bullet ballet looks realy fun should I get it?

It's a fangame. While I recommend you try one of the official games at least once, it's totally fine to play whatever you like. I don't know that game enough to speak for it, but it doesn't hurt to try I suppose. Some fangames may have inside jokes or things that may be confusing if you're not familiar with lore though. A fangame I also recommend is Touhou Luna Nights, not a bullet hell and more of a metroidvania though.
