>>1749313Ehhhhh, maybe. ZUN says that it's meant to be one of the easier games in regards to both story and gameplay. You should probably be at leased versed in SHMUPs before you play a bullet hell as it's easy to get lost figuring out how to progress.
IMO, GFW is more forgiving in its mechanics (namely, the ability to destroy bullets to make the "hell" part of bullet hell less of a thing, which in my opinion is something that should be looked into more as a mechanic) if you want to play a Touhou game and like Cirno.
