It's a shoot em up

>but instead of a plane or a space ship you're a cute Japanese miko hurling ofuda and your enemies are creatures from Japanese folklore

What a novel idea, I'm surprised nobody else ever did anything like this.

Also consider:

Gunbird 2 or Dragon Blaze
Psyvariar Delta

You are guaranteed hours of fun with any of these shmups.

Why is this old game expensive?

it's a weasel

it's a new game (turns out it wasn't a remake despite the confusing marketing), and pretty beautiful. It's like what, 30 bucks? I've beaten it 8 or so times, I've gotten my money's worth.

I feel like everyone who wanted this bought the Japanese version and already got done talking about it two months ago, lol. The censorship + delayed release really hurt how well the western release will do on its own.
