Touhou is a danmaku style game. Danmaku is Japanese for "bullet curtain." As you can see on the picture below, this game is a lot of dodging. Each of those circles is a "bullet," and you can only take one hit before you die.
There are 14 Touhou games, some of which have spin-offs. The main page of the Touhou wiki has a list of each individual game.
The story of the game is a little hazy, and since the game is in Japanese (unless you have a patch) it is hard to decipher it, but this is what I have gathered. An event happens where this illusion village known as Gensokyo crosses with a real-life Japanese village and a bunch of shrine maidens fight vampires and crap from the mysterious realm. I may have got that semi-right, or I may be totally off. Feel free to do your own research and tell me how wrong I am, but I don't play the game for the story. It is addicting to try to dodge all the projectiles and not break your keyboard when you die (which you most assuredly will). Powerups in this game increase your bullet spread, strength, and spead.
Touhou is known for having really great songs that you are won't forget. Touhou 7: Perfect Cherry Blossom, in my opinion, is the best of all the Touhou games, and has the best soundtrack.
You may have heard of a song called "Bad Apple." It is a widely popular song that originates from Touhou 4: Lotus Land Story. Other memorable songs from the series,include "UN Owen was her?" and Night of Knights.
If you decide to download this game, I highly recommend starting at Touhou 7. Just do it.
