“You know that episode of JoJo's Bizarre Adventure where Dio freezes time and throws a bunch of knives at Jotaro? This is literally that in gameplay form.”
“After playing so many long games, this one was just what I needed. I usually can’t handle games like this and would get bored and delete them after a while, but for the first time, I actually enjoyed a game of this…”
“A short Great game, wasn't a fan of some levels but the bosses easily made up for it Time stop mechanic is awesome - Has contact damage but can be mostly avoided by properly using time stop”

“I cannot state how good this game is. Is it difficult? Yeah, absurdly so. Does moving through areas take a while? Yeah, gets tedious sometimes. But my god, the combat is so peak. Not to mention the main character is my…”
“Very enjoyable game. The premise of time stop and throwing daggers sounds simple yet the game gets very creative in how they can be used and there is a surprising variety of tools and power ups that you can unlock.…”

“Short and sweet game. High quality pixelated spirtes. Soundtracks are amazing I love the game concept where we freeze the time,slow the time and do bullet hell battles. Well made concept”
“A very fun Metroidvania game with a wonderful pixel art, great music and good gamplay to flow with.”
“Very cool little Metroidvania with beautiful spritework and fun arranges of the EOSD OST, but also the coolest time-manipulation mechanic that makes you feel like a badass. Mostly leans into the -vania part of…”

“Very nice, very smooth graphics, story-wise is a bit lacking but doesn't take away from the experience. A bit short, wish it was longer. Pretty much the best touhou game out there, 9/10”
“Like all of Team Ladybug’s games, this looks great (though the pixel art is not quite yet on the level of their later titles), is a metroidvania, though just an average one, and has a couple of unique mechanics that…”

“Basically Waifuvania: Symphony of the Night and I love it for that. After I randomly found the lost holy sword this game gets ridiculous in the best way lmao, it's basically the Sword familiar from SOTN but on steroids.…”
“لعبة حلوة لا تتوقع قصة عميقة ولا تفاصيل لكن لازالت افضل لعبة (هي الوحيدة الصدق ) الي لعبتها من تصنيف مترويدفينيا (Metroidvania) خلصت النهاية (ظنتي الاولى ) واقولها (يب تسحق الفلوس الي اندفعت بها ولا تحسفت اني ما شريت…”

“Would recommend any other metroidvania, the gameplay is not that fun and it's quite short”
“Meh. I mean i have no idea about Touhou. Seen characters but don't know what's the whole story. Maybe that's why i was not impressed. Game is short, metroidvania exploration is bare minimum. Time stop is good I think i…”

“Only Metroidvania I like, plus I love the time manipulation mechanics... so why don't I play it? Because I'm terrible at it :(”
“Great game overall. Excellent bosses, fantastic music, and really satisfying gameplay mechanics. Like most Metroidvanias, it’s a bit on the shorter side—it took me just under nine hours to collect all the items—so I’d…”
“It’s really fun when the game tries to kill you at every step”

“I’ll be upfront; I went into touhou luna nights knowing absolutely nothing about touhou project. no lore, no idea who sakuya izayoi is or why she can stop time. luna nights is a metroidvania developed by team ladybug, and it is a genuinely impressive one. you play as a maid with…”

Until then, rest assured that even if you, like me, have no clue who all these anime girls are and what they're doing, this is still a great little Metroidvania with a strong core…”
