Udongein X is an action platformer fangame based on Touhou Project, and let me tell straight up this game is AMAZING.
By giving the game a glance one can instantly assume the game is based on a certain blue character, and there's a lot of similarities there. I'd say the game controls feel somewhat like Mega Man Zero. They're tight and precise, the movement flows amazingly and it's EXTREMELY satisfying to play. But aside from the controls and stage selection format, i'd say the similarities with that other series end there, as it doesn't have some of the core tenets of that here. There are no boss weapons, no boss weaknesses. There is an upgrade system but it doesn't play out like what you'd expect from it initially. Of course, I don't mean this in a negative way.
And on another front, this being a Touhou fangame, one can notice an absurd attention to the detail. All the enemies, the backgrounds and music are EXCEPTIONAL. If you know what the game is about, you will keep yourself amazed at how much heart was put into producing this. The last level made me tear up on how beautiful it is.
If you don't assume that this will play exactly like some certain other game, this one is an exceptional product that I couldn't recommend enough. 10/10 on all fronts!
