Gunvein is an intense, dynamic bullet hell STG inspired by the arcade masterpieces of CAVE, Taito and Raizing/8ing. Screen domination is vital – use your lock ons & charged energy blasts to overwhelm enemies before they overwhelm you. Aggressive play is rewarded with resources that can be used to temporarily power up your shot, or to unleash a devastating screen clearing Bomb. Use this to create destructive feedback loops! Score isn’t merely a number – the points you accrue come back to you as extra lives & currency for the game’s shop system.
