''Touhou Labyrinth'' (also called ''Labyrinth of Touhou'') is a fan-made RPG starring the cast of ''[[Touhou Project]]''. It draws heavily from dungeon crawler RPG titles such as ''[[Etrian Odyssey (Video Game)|Etrian Odyssey]]'', with a heavy emphasis on exploring a huge dungeon filled with many complicated floors. Aside from its dungeon crawler roots, it also features numerous [[Shout -Out|Shout Outs]] to not only the ''Touhou Project'' series, but also many other video games and anime.
 
The original game features 20 floors to explore and up to 32 characters to recruit. The [[Expansion Pack|Plus Disk]] expansion added another 10 [[Bonus Dungeon|bonus floors]] filled with [[Bonus Boss|even more challenging battles]], as well as 8 additional characters. The [[Updated Rerelease|Special Disk]] that was released later includes both the original content and the Plus Disk, and aside from a few gameplay tweaks, its most notable contributions are a new soundtrack and the option to use customized character portraits.
Line 32:
** [[Boss Rush]]: Unlocked on the 20th floor. And there's a LOT of bosses.
** [[Climax Boss]]: On the 16th and 18th floors.
** [[Contractual Boss Immunity]]: Averted for much of the game. Many bosses are vulnerable to either paralysis or status debuffs, and almost none have resistance to poison. Several of the earliest bosses aren't even immune to instant death. Of course, you shouldn't have access to instant death spells at that point, but on a [[New Game Plus+]]...
** [[Degraded Boss]]: All the enemies on the 30th floor are nothing more than souped up party members that were previously fought as bosses.
** [[Dual Boss]]: The Hibachi Twins. One is immune to physical attacks, the other to magical attacks.
Line 71:
* [[Jack of All Stats]]: Keine, the definition of average.
* [[Justified Save Point]]: Akyu records your adventures to save your game.
* [[Late Character Syndrome]]: Some of the Plus Disk characters suffer from this, but that's what [[New Game Plus+]] is for.
* [[Lazy Backup]]: Many of the characters you recruit will just be chilling back in Gensokyo, doing who-knows-what.
* [[Leaked Experience]]: All characters not in your party will still receive 80% of any experience points earned. This includes characters that have yet to be recruited.
Line 79:
* [[Magikarp Power]]: Due to how stat growths work in this game, some characters start off weak but become far more effective in the late game. For example, Rumia's Demarcation barely heals any HP at first, but her MAG growth will eventually grow faster than your party's HP, thus turning her into a solid healer in the post-game. Reisen may seem mediocre when first recruited, but becomes a powerhouse later on when she has enough SP to keep herself fully buffed with Grand Patriot's Elixir.
* [[Mighty Glacier]]: Yuugi and Youmu.
* [[New Game Plus+]]: Clearing the 30th floor lets you carry over characters, skill points, and equipment to a new game. As expected, the latter two would completely demolish the difficulty curve.
* [[Names to Run Away From Really Fast]]: Most of the names of the enemies/Non-Touhou character bosses. {{spoiler|There's a reason why the [[Final Boss]] of the Plus Disc is named **WINNER**}}
* [[Non-Elemental]]: In the late Plus Disk, when you can outfit your whole team with strong elemental resisting gear, these become the most dangerous attacks in the game. Some of your own nonelemental attacks are quite powerful in their own respect.
Line 88:
* [[Restart At Level One]]: True for all the bosses that you recruit. Thank goodness for [[Leaked Experience]] (you still have to spend the points on levels and distribute their level bonuses).
* [[Sequence Breaking]]: Notable in that if you do a certain event out of order on the 1st floor, you can find a secret but otherwise unremarkable boss. [[Breaking the Fourth Wall|The characters will snark to no end about why you shouldn't sequence break.]]
* [[Shout -Out]]: Where to begin?
** The fact there's so many, the translation patch for v3.01 comes with a rather large text file which does nothing BUT list the shout outs.
* [[Squishy Wizard]]: Patchouli is this trope incarnate. Highest SP, Magic, and Mind growth, lowest HP, Speed, and Defense.
