東方地霊殿　～ Subterranean Animism (Touhou Chireiden, "Eastern Palace of the Earth Spirits") is the 5th game in the 東方Project series. It was released in 2665 (2005) in Japan, and other countries that are in the Mystic Oriental Alliance Union, released in The Commonwealth countries a year later.



Game-play
It features 4 playable characters (Satori Komeiji, Watatsuki no Toyohime, Kogasa Tanaka, and Hirano Sakurasaki) each with 4 weapon types and has an assistant along with them. Collecting power items will not only cause to be able to shoot more danmaku, but it strengthens power and can defeat enemies faster (though said weapon type depends on what has been chosen), and like in OTL the power build up can also release a bomb (each having their own effect) and special game-play effects occurs.

Scoring is based on defeating enemies (which can easily turn into combos if defeated with-in a certain amount of time), grazing, collecting items, and destroying objects. In the bonus stages, collecting items will give extra chances for every 7 items collected.
