playing this on the 2nd week of rerolling hard...
the good stuff :
+ BGM is pretty catchy, probably this is the open gate for people to know future bass genre
+ great graphics, great motion animation cutscenes when doing bond chara story, even the in-game 3d models are great
+ the system is pretty similar with Priconnect, except this game doesn't need skip ticket for skipping the stage (you need to 3 star the stage first to unlock skip feature) and no clan battle (not yet)
+ lots of apologems cuz they always f*cked up things
+ (new update) gacha now giving additional charas fragments when you got dupe depend on what base star the chara is
the bad stuff :
- the gacha is as bad as fgo despite having the same rate as Priconnect (SSR 2.5%), and also they always do release 2 new charas on a separate pickup rate banner at the same time
- (updated) the new special weapon feature (which is really makes the units more OP) only unlocked when you already *5 some charas, makes it more advantages to P2W people
- lots of missing content/detail, like some chara doesn't have voice on their story cutscenes, chara doesn't move their mouth during voice cutscenes, or maybe doesn't have the cutscenes at all..
- lots of bugs, especially UI screen bugs, its soo annoying that you need to restart the game to fix it..
- either the devs were understaffed or lazy, it's because they never do maintenance on time (they always extend it), or some bugs that didn't fixed even after long MT, i hope this devs don't go into DW route..
- Kinda minor stuff, you can't see how many mats do you have on the map select, you can only see it on character equipment upgrade screen, sometimes you need this for efficiency (you don't have to go back and forth for seeing the mats)
i'm on lv 40 without using any guides or tips whn writing this review and this is based on what i feel playing this game 
Good Points :
+ lots of amazing artwork from famous doujin touhou artist
+ lots of famous touhou music circles songs contributed to this game, lots of them are well-known songs such as night of nights
+ the resource for doing gacha roll is easy to farm (edit 08/09/2020 : they nerfed it)
Neutral Points :
= battle mechanics feels like FGO, theres CE for your spellcard slot, power (P) is basically a star like in FGO, but this one is for increasing the damage instead of giving crits
= currency, training system, team formation, and item mall is really AL, you have 3 currency, the thing that looks like bambo shoots (idk what it called), a green cube and rainbow cube, you need bamboo shoots thingy and green cube for gacha rolls, and rainbow cube is for buying a slot expansion or skins
- gacha rates are okay, 95% for CE and 5% for chara, all chara is treated as ssr
= i don't know much about the story, i heard it connected with the main lore of the series
Bad Points :
- it has voice acting, but it's less and too repetitive which makes it annoying, and some voice is hit and miss for some character , Reimu has tsundere vibe on her voice
- the music is hit and miss too, sometimes the music doesn't match with the situation, ex : they put upbeat rock music when battle with regular mobs
- droprate material for upgrading rank is really hell, bronze mats are less drop even in hard mode and the auto button doesn't help much for grinding, the only help is from event rewards
- skins is bad for your wallet, trust me, if they gonna add the summer live2d skins in the future, i'll be broke
- the tutorial isn't really gaijin-friendly since everything is on kanji, they didn't force you to click on something like we should do in tutorial, the element icon is also kanji which makes it difficult to read and you have to memorize it
+ the game graphics were pixelated, and the pixel animation is really good
+ the full art characters is the same style as Dragalia Lost
+ (cmiiw) unique game mechanic, it's a pinball game, but with rpg elements, there's even have multiplayer (co-op) system for playing against boss
== the gacha rate is 3% for ssr, which is common for mobage (edited : it's actually 5%, which is good)
- Cygames is only as publishers, the dev is some other company (Citail), so don't expect some freebies like the other Cygames games (cmiiw), so enjoy those opening weekend campagin before it's gone

- both story mode and character story isn't fully voiced
- it's stamina based and it's drains too fast at around lv 20 when you wanna focus on grinding mats, needs to spend some gems / crystal to fast progressing
i've been playing this since release
good points :
- it's anime and Visual Novel elements fused into one
- orchestrated ost, composed by the same guy who dong sakura taisen anime ost
- devs often giving free gems
- raise'em all, 1* to 3* can be raised to *5 and all of them is useful on certain situation
- your grind is limited by stamina, so when your stamina run out you can play other game
- if you getting dupe on gacha, that dupe turn into purple frag that can be use for upgrading *, it has spark system like gbf
- gameplay is challenging since all characters has good on certain situation
bad points :
- low ssr rate (2%), you mostly get a chara besides a pickup chara even the pickup chara has higher rate
- pvp arena is kinda p2w since meta always changed everytime new chara / new special equip is released,
- so does clan battle (guild war)
- burn gems/crystal for stamina refill is necessary on late game
- expect 2-4 limited chara every season / holiday
good points :
- Holy sh*t!! great story!!
- dem characters & fanarts!!
- less grindy than the other rival game
- sometimes it feels challenging, even 1* and 2* can be useful
- even though the ssr rates are very low, once you get ssr, it highly chances it's a pickup characters
neutral points :
- gameplay
- voice in-game
- bgm
- art having the same face and poses, it's lazy but people still accepted it anyway
bad points :
- gacha (1% ssr)
- lack of freebies
- celebrating winter season, only giving you rider gems (uncap items)
- same kind of gimmick every event (feels repetitive)

3.8this is probably the only Cygames games that feels like pay 2 win and having less freebies thingy from them than any other Cygames games CMIIW
