Touhou Rock Maiden 2: Houraisan Kaguya no Nazo

About

Touhou Rock Maiden 2 throws you into a breakneck action-platformer where bullets and boss battles rule. You play as Reimu, dodging projectile storms while leaping between platforms, collecting power-ups to take down towering enemies. The levels mix vertical and horizontal challenges, forcing quick reflexes and precise jumps. Each fight ends with a rapid firefest, blending rhythm-based shooting with timing-based dodges. The story involves Reimu sorting out a mess left by Kaguya’s antics, though the plot takes a backseat to the chaotic action. This sequel shines in its relentless pace and tight controls. Players who love Mega Man’s bullet-hell boss fights will find familiar thrills here, though the platforming feels more punishing than polished. The soundtrack pumps up the intensity, and the game’s short length means it won’t outstay its welcome. With a 7.3/10 on niche indie charts, it’s a quick fix for fans of the series or action games that favor speed over subtlety.

Storyline

When I returned home from the agony, I found a customer. "Oh, it's Youmu. Who the hell do you think you are?" "I'm sorry, Kaguya said he would pay for the repair of Hakugyokurou. "How could that neet seriously say such a thing?" "I'm sorry...." It seems that Youmu had been served her fill by Kaguya. According to what I've heard, Yuyuko has been caught with food this time. "Reimu, can't you let me take on Kaguya?" "No, you can't. It's my problem." In the end, the winner of the fight was the one who went to defeat Kaguya.
