Koumajou Remilia: Scarlet Symphony Review: Beautiful But Brutal Platformer

Many players praise Koumajou Remilia: Scarlet Symphony as a great fan-made style game that mixes the Touhou Project world with the dark gothic feel of classic Castlevania games. Reviewers love its strong atmosphere, beautiful character artwork, Japanese voice acting, and powerful orchestral music. Fans of old-style platformers enjoy Reimu’s special abilities, like her hover move and purification weapon, which make combat more interesting. The boss fights are often seen as the best part of the game, with challenging bullet patterns and exciting multi-stage battles that feel intense and rewarding.

However, some players feel the game has weak and repetitive level design. The stages often consist of simple corridors with basic enemies, which can feel boring between boss fights. Since the game is a short, linear platformer, players who expect exploration or character upgrades may feel disappointed. Some also say the movement feels stiff, especially when trying to avoid attacks in the air during boss battles. The game’s difficulty can also feel unfair at times, and the limited lives system can make players lose a lot of progress. Overall, it is a beautiful and stylish game, but it is mainly best for fans of Touhou or hardcore retro-style games.
