I thought I'd make a thread about this, since it's a monumental occasion to those of us who remember just how hard it was to actually legally acquire a Touhou game outside Japan -- now I just bought it on Steam with a click.
Basically, Touhou is a long-running series of bullet-hell shooters made by a single independent developer. Its fandom spread somewhat beyond the reach of most such games due to the popularity of its large cast of characters and original music compositions (which have received tens of thousands of remixes and covers).
You can learn more about the series here.
The Steam release is pretty barebones -- it doesn't have cards or achievements, and it's Japanese-only.
From the little I've played so far though, the core gameplay is pretty good and the bullet patterns are beautiful, as I would expect from the series.
