Touhou Mother:Gameplay
- You have a typical RPG overhead view with many hilarious references to other popular games/movies/amines/you name it!
Battles
- For the battles it uses Mother 3's Menu mechanics which is the rolling hit point system.
- For example, upon being hit, you don't immediately receive the damage, instead it slowly drops, so if you can defeat the enemy, it actually stops!
Now for some interesting notes!
- There are no random encounters, the enemies are shown in the overworld, and avoidable.
- But, you can't run from battles
- Later, some enemies are so fast and tricky that they are almost unavoidable.
- You do not use items in battle if you are playing on easy.
- Fast reflexes and paying attention are a plus.
- Some bosses can only be defeated by using the rolling hit point system (simply put, you can't outdamage them before they kill you.
- OHKO(OHKO) is common if you don't wait after healing.
- If you run out of PP, you are as good as dead. It would suck meleeing bosses...
Difficulty
- The game has 4 difficulties (easy, normal hard, and LUNATIC), which affect soley the hitpoint system in how fast it rolls. :The easier the difficulty, the slower the hit point rolled.
- Vice versa when playing on a harder difficulty.
Some interesting points are noted
- The game tells you you may not be able to finish the games on the harder difficulties.
- This isn't true, but you must be over-leveled to survive.
- When you are maxed at at level 50, consider running from enemies before they touch you.
Map
- Exploring is a big part of the game and they don't always tell you where to go next.
- If you get lost, run around to previous places and maybe you'll find something happening!
- Of course, if all else fails, refer to the walkthrough found here. Touhou Mother: Walkthrough
Some Last Important Tips in order of importance
- 1.Did I mention you're dead if you run of PP? Yeah, use it wisely...
- 2.When equipping, check if you can give the item to someone else and/or if it gives better stats.
- 3.You get money, but not waaaaaaaaaayyyyyyyyyyyy more into the game. So, don't sweat it.
- 4.Boss too hard? You probably been skipping too many fights. Or maybe, it's unbeatable, but I'll warn you if that's the case. And if all else fails...
