Ten Desires retains the same core gameplay mechanics of the rest of the Touhou games, in which the player will traverse through six increasingly difficult stages, in which they have to kill enemies, dodge their projectiles, and fight bosses, halfway through, and at the end of each stage.
Introduced in Ten Desires is the 'divine spirits' feature. When enemies are killed, they will drop spirits, which float towards the top of the screen. They are not automatically collected, even if the player is above the Point of Collection, and each one must be collected manually, except from during boss battles, wherein all divine spirits will automatically be collected by the player once they complete a spell card. Gray spirits will give the player extra points, green spirits will give them extra spell cards, and purple spirits will give them extra lives. Similar to the system in Undefined Fantastic Object, the player can fill a 'Trance' gauge by collecting blue and gray spirits. When three of either have been collected, the player can activate a trance, which lasts for ten seconds, and will give them increased shot power, immunity to damage, and increased points from collecting spirits. If the player is hit in this game, unlike previous games, trance mode will automatically activate and the time will depend on how much of the trance gauge is filled, after which point they will lose a life.
Large amounts of spirits begin to appear throughout Gensokyo, and the player character goes out and investigates.
The player character enters the Netherworld, where spirits often go. While investigating, the heroine encounters Yuyuko Saigyouji. Yuyuko, who is unaware of the situation, points them to the Myouren Temple, where they find Kyouko Kasodani, the temple's cleaner. Afterwards, they meet Kogasa Tatara, who asks the player character to defeat a girl who's guarding the place. Instead, the player character attacks Kogasa and continues on. Eventually, they meet Yoshika Miyako, the Jiangshi protecting the mausoleum. Yoshika is defeated and opens the door to the mausoleum.
Inside, there are way more divine spirits then there were before. The player character tries to proceed, but encounters Seiga Kaku, who had resurrected Yoshika and used her as a guard of the mausoleum. After being defeated, Seiga states that the temple was built in order to prevent someone from being resurrected. As the player character advances, they find Soga no Tojiko, who is quickly defeated. Eventually, the player character encounters Mononobe no Futo. After being defeated, Mononobe realises that the 'Crown Prince' is being resurrected and quickly goes to see what is going on. The player character continues in the mausoleum and sees a ton of divine spirits, and find Toyosatomimi no Miko, a Saint who had just been resurrected. The divine spirits were gathering here to see the resurrection of a holy person, the holy person being Miko, who the player character then defeats.
Afterwards, the player character investigates around the Myouren Temple, and find Nue Houjuu, who is angry that Miko was resurrected. Nue attacks the player character, but is defeated. The player character then meets Mamizou Futatsuiwa, who claimed that Nue sent her there.
Miko of the Hakurei Shrine. She investigates the divine spirits to prevent an incident from happening, and it would reflect badly on her shrine if she ignored it.[1]
Human magician. She investigates the divine spirits due to her personal curiosity.
Miko of the Moriya Shrine. She collects the spirits as she thinks it will help increase the amount of faith in her shrine.
Half-ghost, gardener and bodyguard of Yuyuko Saigyouji. She investigates the spirits to try and prevent the possibility of an incident.
Stage 3 midboss. A Kasa-obake who likes to wander around graveyards and scare people. She noticed that a yōkai was in the graveyard she normally resided, and attacked it to try and get it to leave, but was unsuccessful. She attacks the player character to draw their attention and get them to defeat the yōkai she found.
