So is this game hard, or just unpopular?

Planning a JRPG marathon, and I wonder if this is worth including. Why does it have so many rare trophies — difficulty? Grind? Just a poor game?

I've never even heard of this game, and I've played a lot of JRPGs. After looking at some stuff on YouTube, it doesn't look that good either.

 

I'm betting on it being both a poor game, and a grind.

I've definitely heard of the Touhou series before (hell, I even selected a Touhou theme for this month's Signature Battle ), but I don't think most people actually know much about it (I think it started out as a Japanese bullet hell game for PC? That's at least the first time I came across it).

 

I haven't played the game yet (I plan to get it eventually), but I have heard it can be a little difficult.

Probably got lost among all the other great games coming out around the same time.

Touhou Genso Wanderer, right? As I understand it, it's a rogue-like JRPG. And it's super niche. Not many know about the series (like me), and not too many people like/play rogue-like games. Also, I'm waiting for it to go on sale again before I buy it.

Regarding your original question...

Literally everything is correct.

It has grindy trophies but mostly, it's niche as hell. 2hou is a niche series even among the target fanbase and afaik, it's a doujin game that's been made 'official'.

So that itself adds to niche factor.

OK, thanks guys. Doesn't sound like something I want to mess with.
