Evaluation

Servants of Harvest Wish is a fan-made Touhou bullet-hell shooter that launched on August 3, 2020 as a complete product with 6 stages plus an extra stage. The only DLC is a soundtrack pack that also released on launch day. Since launch, the developer has issued a handful of updates. The most recent notable release was version 1.10a on July 30, 2023, which added "Easy Extra" — an easier version of the extra stage — along with various bug fixes. The accompanying announcement noted that a follow-up patch (1.10b) was planned "a few weeks after" to address known replay issues, but explicitly stated it would include "no new content." Before that, a June 2022 update addressed Linux/Proton compatibility flickering issues. The last developer communication was on July 30, 2023. No further updates, announcements, or roadmap items have been posted since then. The developer's own language in the 1.10a announcement frames 1.10b as a purely corrective patch with no new content, signaling that the game's content was considered complete at that point. There is no unreleased DLC, no announced future expansions, and no ongoing content cadence to suggest more is coming. The game launched and has been maintained as a finished product.

- Story -

A new incident causes all of the crops throughout Gensokyo to wither right before the harvest season, exposing the Human Village to the threat of famine. Expecting different reasons, the heroines set off to expose the heartless youkai who are behind this incident, but none of them knew what had happened behind the scenes beforehand. Explore all scenarios in order to piece all clues together while enjoying the marvellous gameplay elements inbetween.

For Steam Deck Usage

We implemented a Proton Compatibility mode.

To fix graphic issues when using proton, please run the th_sohw_proton.sh shell script located in the game file root directory before launching the game. If you do not want to tinker with this, go to settings and set boss aura as reduced or lower to fix flickering and slowdown ingame. In this case you will still get flickering during loading animations but not during actual gameplay.
