Fantasy Maiden Wars Complete Box: Scenario 1 (Marisa) [Commentary in description]

  • 4 years ago
Hello guys, Chumpet here with another new playthrough!
Today we'll be playing Fantasy Maiden Wars - Complete Box!
For this first episode I tried recording commentary, but it was too overshadowed by the game audio, so instead I'm just typing it up in the description.
This is a Touhou Project fangame with gameplay inspired by the Super Robot Wars franchise.
To put it simply, this is a Strategy RPG with Touhou characters.
You can choose between Reimu's route and Marisa's route in this game. I'll be choosing Marisa's.
Certain levels are exclusive to each route, so I'll be going back and playing Reimu's levels later.
I won't be going over the story in this LP.
Here's the basics of the game.
Move forth and attack the enemies until they go boom.
The stats are as follows:
HP and MP are exactly what you think they are, mobility is evasion chance, armor is defense.
Size gives damage penalties when a small unit attacks a large one, and accuracy penalties when a large unit attacks a small one.
Each character has their own skill set and personal skills.
Spirit commands are your spells. You recover 10 SP per turn.
Each attack has its own MP cost, accuracy bonus or penalty, power, crit bonus, and range.
Some attacks can only be used before moving.
Attacks sometimes have special effects as well.
Focus to dodge better but get scratch damage instead.
Yellow danmaku squares provide penalty. Focus to minimize that crap.
Support attacks can only be used by units that haven't moved, and have a damage penalty.
Support defense causes defender to take only 60%.
Aaaaand that's about the gist of it.
Marisa's a pretty solid glass cannon, so I'll be using her.
Nitori sucks, but she's at least somewhat usable early game. Later on, all her stats pale in comparison to better tanks.
Bonus condition is to enter battle 5 times while grazing.
Momiji retreats at low health, which means you could miss out on some cash.
During intermission, spend points to get stats, spend PP to get skills.
I increase Marisa's MP since all of her attacks use it for something.
And that about wraps up the first scenario.
