Post by borisaur1999 »

I just got a 1cc on deathsmiles after around 4 days of practice. I'm looking to 1cc another cave game and im wondering which one to do next.

Espgaluda is relatively mild until its final boss. On the whole, it's only a little harder than Deathsmiles, and though the final boss is a pretty stiff difficulty spike, most of the game is totally reasonable.

Both Mushihimesama and Mushihimesama Futari are only a little harder than Espgaluda, with the first probably being slightly easier. Both are consistently tougher than Espgaluda but also lack in notable difficulty spikes.

I haven't played them, but apparently Dodonpachi Daifukkatsu / Resurrection, Deathsmiles II, and maybe Akai Katana are pretty mild clears also. Deathsmiles II might be a natural progression from the first game.

This place :lol: how about DOJ 3rd loop clear. :lol:

If you're still enjoying Deathsmiles, there's more to try. Try activating the cat-food revenge bullets, or adding the canyon stage. If you're ready to move on and like the horizontal play, Akai Katana.

Fuck CAVE, play Out Zone

Spoiler
But if you really must have a CAVE game, Dangun Feveron is cool. Definitely not an easy game, though.

will reiterate mushihimesama original, futari (black label?) original, or espgaluda. these and deathsmiles are pretty much the only CAVE games I've played with 1CCs within grasp for myself, anyways.

If you want an honest answer, I'll vote up Feveron and ESP Ra. De.

Unique experiences compared to the rest, I'd say.

I have only ever 1cced two games: Touhou Fantastic Festival II and esp.ra.de.. I recommend Rade, its a beautiful game that touched deep my soul. I just started playing Galuda and I am not sure if its easier. The patterns seems more dense (although the hitboxes smaller). I guess the game does give you more resources with the whole kakusei thing. Ppl say that mushi 1.5 original is pretty easy if you want a lower spike.

ESP Ra.De. doesn't seem that hard for a survival clear at all, but I only started playing it like 3~4 days ago and I'm still working on the first 3 stages and deciding who to play as (Irori...? Not sure yet). Alice is very powerful, so I guess you could get Psy and do Super Easy 1CC to get Alice and then play Arcade Plus mode with Alice for survival. Super awesome game but with an equally super complicated scoring system.

Since I already half-jokingly said the non-CAVE game Out Zone (does it count anyway if Out Zone's lead game designer/lead programmer/composer and one of the main artists both later joined CAVE? Yeah, let's just pretend that it counts), might as well toss Crimzon Clover on the pile since CLOVER-TAC made that game and he worked at CAVE as a playtester. I really like Crimzon Clover for some reason.

If you want a challenge go with Ketsui, if not go with Futari BL or Daifukkatsu 1.5.

Might be because it's a BALLER GAME
