The game features a Story Mode, which pits the player against a series of nine opponents that get progressively harder, and a versus mode, which is a single match against either an AI opponent or a human opponent(or, two AI opponents). With the [[/Netplay|netplay patch]], multiplayer is also possible through LAN or over the Internet.

Phantasmagoria of Flower View was designed to be a game much along the same lines as [[Phantasmagoria of Dim.Dream]], and, by extension, [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Twinkle_Star_Sprites Twinkle Star Sprites], where two players simultaneously engage in normal shmup-fashion gameplay but also must concentrate on attacking the other player.

This game takes place in the mystical land of [[Gensokyo]]. Spring has arrived, but something is wrong. Flowers are blooming and the fairies are becoming active as usual, but the amount of flowers and fairies is unnatural; even non-spring flowers are blooming. Playing as one of 16 characters, you must battle your way through 9 stages to reach [[/Translation/Glossary|Muenzuka]] and uncover the truth behind the abnormal spring.
