Touhou 東方催狐譚 ～ Servants of Harvest Wish - Ura 1cc (ReimuA)

Turn on captions for some extra comments.
Servants of Harvest Wish is the latest Touhou fangame that came out a couple of days ago.
It was about 3 years in development and had some pretty big names in the community behind it. It's quite well put together. Stage design in the later stages isn't too shabby either. Very fun game.
It also has quite a bit of content. Besides the standard four difficulties and Extra, it also has a fifth difficulty and two different difficulty modes for Extra. There are also a whole bunch of secret spellcards and Last Words that you unlock by doing certain things in the stages.
Difficulty
Ura is a hidden difficulty that is way above Lunatic difficulty. A lot of stuff in it is pretty unreasonable, so you have to do some resource management to get through it.
You access Ura by pressing shift ten times while you have Lunatic selected.
System
The system this time is centered around the Harvest system.
Harvest items get dropped when you speedkill and pointblank enemies and when you graze bullets.
These items fill up the harvest meter on the right side.
When the meter is full a border gets activated.
During the border you can fill it up to 300% by collecting harvest items during it.
You can cancel the border manually by pressing bomb, the cancel radius is dependent on the percentage.
When the border naturally runs out you get a certain number of bomb pieces depending on your percentage (100% is one bomb piece, 200% is two, 300% is three).
You get like a full second of i-frames when the border runs out, you can abuse this in certain places.
You get extra lives through certain point item thresholds.
Last Words
Collecting enough harvest items during a stage unlocks a Last Word, meaning the boss gets a bonus spellcard at the end. The yellow number next to the harvest meter indicates how many you need.
You don't lose anything for failing Last Words.
Not to be confused with the Last Words that are separate from the main game.
Anomaly spellcards
Unlocked after you 1cc the game once, these replace certain spellcards if you do certain secret things in the stages. These cards are quite a bit harder than the ones they replace.
Capturing these anomaly cards unlocks the Last Words that are separate from the main game.
Used ReimuA for this run because she's probably the best for Ura survival. She does decent damage, has a very strong bomb, a small hitbox and with the biggest thing being the extended deathbomb timer. You have like a second or something to deathbomb, it's basically an autobomb lol.
The A shottypes also have some easier spellcards in stage 5.
Patterns in Ura can be differentiated in two categories: doable and very not doable. You want to do well enough on the doable parts so that you have enough resources to get past the rest.
You basically want to stall every midboss to skip enemy waves in Ura. The enemy waves you get if you speedkill a midboss are all very horrible.
2-miss to stage 6 was really good but stage 6 was pretty messy. Could have easily been 4-miss or even 3-miss.
The dual boss in stage 5 is quite good. It really feels like they're both fighting you at the same time rather than them just being two bullet spawnpoints.

Still can't believe how quickly you got this. For those not in the know, this game was showcased on TRS the day after its release, and Crested was talking about Ura mode and how the developers will donate to charity for each Ura 1CC they see within the first month. I was like "Yo Jaimers, go do this!", Jaimers was like "k", and then he got it before the TRS show was even over. Amazing.

[@tomlynmathewsjr7514]

Holy Hell Jaimer. Absolutely no chill when it comes to shmup's, huh? XD

[@albert453able]

Nuts.

[@areslyle395]

A tip: watch series at flixzone. Been using them for watching a lot of movies these days.

[@adrianhendricks772]

18:15 Oh wow! "Curse" bullets! (呪 _noroi,_ curse) I haven't seen those since TH02: Story of Eastern Wonderland!

[@david2618]

Oh right I remember them, stage 2 midboss had them.

[@TalosMistake]

So glad I share the same opinion with you on the stage 5 dual boss. It was really well done.

[@Voxus2142]

The fact that Kagemo makes a Danganronpa reference right before the fight just perfectly encapsulates how good this game's references are at times.

[@Post98w]

oh shit I had no idea this difficulty existed! pretty weird to hide it away like this but it looks like a lot of fun.

[@stardustreverie6880]

damn, didn't even know there was an Ura. this game is really packed with so much content @-@

[@tenryuu]

I was not expecting a Mario Bros. spellcard.

[@FG-tu4fq]

I find the boss' patterns to be very creative. However, some of the non-spells have too much on them that they feel like spell cards, and some bullet choices feel off. I'm just not quite the fan of bosses throwing three spell card patterns at the same time.

[@BobbyFluffy]

Keep in mind, the mode you see in this video is particularly unfair and intentionally really, really dumb. The regular game isn't *this* bad.

[@shuyotirah9132]

The Ura difficultly are intentionally made to be stupid unfair

[@alexhndr]

Ura? On my Touhou? EVAC DOOM be like: *BRB, gonna raid Gensokyo*

[@Ultima64]

Even the stage 4 boss's final spell card reminds me of ketsui's stage 4 boss's 2nd pattern

[@hjt091]

Man, you make Ura look like Normal

[@simunator]

wow! finally a fangame to surpass sss

[@Luke0193]

Stage3 Boss Theme is so dope

[@woodenstring5950]

The final boss theme reminds me of Kobito Of The Shining Needle.

[@nesing1667]

Played this fangame too and i like it

[@niespeludo]

Another danmakufu? Hey the boss spell cards were pretty creative and interesting. They look cool, will try this one out.

[@balneor]

"2-miss to stage 6 was really good but stage 6 was pretty messy." I assume that for the first part you're referring to stage 5 ?

[@xainizmobile838]

This type of game is so hard 😯

[@littletail5040]

I guess This game Stage 5 is harder than Touhou LOLK Stage 5

[@inakilbss]

Oh man, that clip on the final was sad, would've been a beautiful cap otherwise.

[@diddlif]

26:50 Way easier than B... Gets hit XD

[@evanseifert8858]

Those Nintendo references in the final boss fight seem really blatant and out of place.

[@stardustreverie6880]

other than the red-green plumbers, what are the rest?

[@evanseifert8858]

@@stardustreverie6880 Green Garb "Pot Smasher of the Gods" is a reference to The Legend of Zelda. I think that's about it, though.

[@rudolflc1684]

The game does not take itself too seriously. I had a sort of Len'en feeling in the way the characters act, but with a really cheerful story (except for extra stage... but then again, I find it quite remenicent of Len'en, the masterind revealing itself).

[@evanseifert8858]

@@rudolflc1684 Fair enough. Most references in Touhou use some sort of wordplay though, so it's still odd to see the game explicitly mentions plumbers out of nowhere.

[@prismus6520]

The final boss was just toying around in the first phase after all, like it was just a game, so...

[@tplayer23424]

Whats the hardest touhou fangame?

[@handlessuck589]

Asshole Touhou ~Unreasonable Mechanism~ Is so difficult it was never released.

[@awe862]

@@handlessuck589 That doesn't count, frankly. Even if it did, the stage is largely just learning the cheap shots IIRC, and the actual boss fight is pretty sane. There are absolutely fangames that are harder overall. @Natsu Dragneel to give a more proper answer to your question, the hardest Touhou fangame is most likely Magical Singular Day. Look up Apocalypse mode to see what it's like on the highest difficulty.

This artstyle is cursed.
