It was already pretty great when it first came on the PC and now it had given Touhou a strong start off its natural habitat and onto a home console. Other than that, it’s the same good old ULiL action. The Unknown X remix is the pick of the new songs, seeing as it’s more of a heavy reworking of the original, which was already very good.

The Invisible Full Moon remix isn’t the greatest ever, but it’s such a good song to remix that even this one comes out nicely. Especially Mokou.Īrcade mode is as good as it ever was, and the tutorial is a useful thing to have, as you’d expect. The rest I’ll reserve judgement on for now, although Mamizou seemed pretty good and I’d like to play some more with Kokoro and Mokou. But in ULiL characters can just fly right next to you and you really can’t stay away for long. That’d be fine in SWR and Soku where you can stand back and fire away – that’s why I relished Patchouli so much in those games. She had some powerful stuff to take advantage of but always seemed more comfortable from range. As for the new character, Reisen, she was merely alright. Nitori still seems good, Koishi is still a lot of fun to use, but Sukuna seems nowhere near as fun as her awesome style on the PC, and Kasen didn’t feel all that either. But Miko still seems very capable on PS4. Futo certainly doesn’t feels as good in my hands. Ichirin still seems fine, but nowhere near what she seemed on PC. If I wanted the latter, I’d be on my PC.Īnd this extra difficulty also seems to do a good job in fishing out which characters are the very best. If I wanted the former, I’d play on the PS4. They’re still fine, it’s just harder to make stuff happen with them. This isn’t a criticism of the PS4’s controls or anything, by the way. Certainly, it seemed as if the PC version was the easiest fighting game that Touhou has had, but the PS4 version seems to bring it back into line with SWR and Soku’s challenge. But not action that’s as easy as its PC counterpart. Luckily, ULiL was a strong starting point to begin with, so moving it onto completely unknown territory by Touhou’s standards should make for another strong addition to the Touhou series.Īnd I’m delighted to report that for the most part it’s all still very good, and very fun, action. Of course, none of this would be for much if the game didn’t translate to the PS4 well. And whilst Reisen’s introduction called for new music, hers wasn’t the only new music in the game: as well as some new story battle themes, two new remixes came up for two tracks, specifically Unknown X ~ Unknown Adventure, a previous fighting game classic, and Retribution for the Eternal Night, a great song from the past.
It also marked the glorious return of Arcade mode, always a fun mode in the fighting games, as well as the introduction of a tutorial. The PS4 version upped the resolution of the game to 1080p, a first for any Touhou game. It’s also a prologue to the next game, which I’ll write about whenever it comes out. Specifically, one that takes place after Legacy of Lunatic Kingdom, putting a reason on why she’s in the game now. It was just an excuse to give Reisen a story. Although the ‘Extra’ mode wasn’t really any such thing. Reisen was back once again, and with her she brought a new stage in Eientei, new music in the form of the ever-brilliant Invisible Full Moon, and most notably, a new mode. The most significant addition to the PS4 version was one all new character, one coming hot off the heels of her reappearance in the series. And that’s because there’s a lot of new stuff in here too. So I won’t touch on the whole game again you can, and indeed should, read my ULiL piece for that. Certainly, it’ll help you know some of what I’m on about here.īut, as I mentioned earlier, this PS4 version is not a direct port of the PC.
Obviously, everything in the PC version of ULiL is as it was in the PS4 version. And I have a copy of the game to play with. That’s a massive change from the norm in itself. But it’s worth looking at, due to a couple of small little extra features the PS4 version has, and because…well, it’s on a PS4.
After plenty of build-up, it finally arrived in December 2016, making it the most recent release of a Touhou game to date. But it’d be a while before it’d be released. The PS4 version of ULiL was first confirmed in February 2016, some time after its initial release. So there’s no need to touch on it too closely, I think.

The update is nothing more than a whole lot of balancing, though. NOTE: Since I wrote my ULiL piece, v1.40 has come out (of course it did, less than a week after I reviewed it).
